Good concept, poorly executed.

best movie i've ever seen.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

People who are trashing this movie just aren't getting' it. This is a very effective and well thought out horror movie. It has an exotic locale with a strange local folklore that becomes too real for a newlywed couple. Eduardo Sanchez who co-helmed 'The Blair Witch Project' directs and co-writes with James Nash. The couple is chased by ghosts that come to claim souls every 'Seventh Moon'. The ghosts are very creepy and you don't really get a good look at them (which makes them scarier) until the end. All the performances are strong and while there is excessive 'shaky cam' the movie is very well filmed, in low light, with strong art direction and very natural cinematography. It's was also great to see Amy Smart. She's very good in this. Like Sanchez's 'Exists' I found this to be a damn good, simple but intelligent and SCARY indie horror movie. Give it a watch.

I started watching this movie with lowest expectations possible - really I did. I went watching it only because I wanted to free room on the HD but first 5 min into the film and I soon started realizing that it just might not be as bad, but still I really didn't expect to get this much out of it. First off - if you're one of the people who didn't like 'The Blair Witch Project' and don't put much into stuff like 'Cloverfield', 'Welcome To The Jungle' or 'Quarantine' then really don't go for this one either, but I gotta say it's your bad because this movie is and has all that a true horror movie should, and I don't mean horror like the whole 'texas chainsaw massacre' flick(of which I really like the 2 latest editions) or 'saw'(which I can't stand) etc. What I mean is horror down to the bone; one of those master-pieces not very much unlike the classics such as 'exorcist' or 'Amityville Horror'(the first 2) because what all these movies share is a real passion and love in being a part of this most underrated movie genre.Well, I really don't care much about going into movie analysis or what not, the way that these things(This is my first review here) are meant to be done but I guess what I wanted(and felt obliged to) say is already said and that being the fact that this movie is rated so poorly and it doesn't even have a poster, so...All in all this is real horror whether you know/like it or not, this is an expression of pure passion for this downtrodden genre and I won't say it scared the hell out of me, it didn't but it did something that is much tougher to achieve, what that is exactly I couldn't say, at least not in a few words and like I said I don't care much about semi-professional reviewing that is so much sought after on IMDb pages.In short: If you think a new breed of horror has emerged with the making of Blair Witch Project and that it has continued uninterrupted ever since with some of the movies I mentioned above then this is your 2008's successor to that fragile but so far successful trend of making this genre stay fresh and up-to-date.Gojo

I'm unable to watch this all the way through because the jiggling camera induced a migraine of Biblical proportions, but the pattern is clear anyway.Two honeymooners, Tim Chiou and Amy Smart, are being driven by an older man named Ping to a remote village but Ping gets lost and stops the car in a spot that is close to a haunted village, or so he says. He leaves the car to get direction and disappears.Chiou and Smart squirm with impatience and finally exit the vehicle themselves to retrieve Ping. The structures in the village are all dark, as is everything else, and the only light comes from Chiou's flashlight.I give the film points for its attempt at hybridization, crossing the cheap American horror movie with a Chinese milieu. I also give it points for being brave enough to try such a stunt on a budget that would not have provided a month's worth of gerbil food.And that's about it. It doesn't appear to me that the dialog was more than just sketched in. Much of the dialog sounds improvised, in the way that John Cassavetes' dialog was improvised, a way that never held any appeal for me -- "What do you mean?" "What do you mean, 'what do you mean?'" Sometimes improvisation can be successfully pulled off when you're using someone who knows his business. Try Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris." But here, neither of the two principles is able to pull it off.And that wobbling, hand-held camera! I curse the day MTV was born.

I really do hate movies that take place almost entirely in the dark. What's the point of watching if you can't see anything.Melissa (Amy Smart) and Yul (Tim Chiou) are on their honeymoon in Chins where they are left in a small village. At least I think it is small, as you can't really see it in the darkness.One thing is not hard to figure. The ghosts want to have sex with Amy Smart. Duh! Would probably have been a much better film had I had a chance to see it. Maybe next time they can spring for some lights so we know what is going on.
