I haven't seen such a scary film since poltergeist when I was 4. Seriously, goosebumps through half the film. If you like to be scared-- not shocked or surprised, but frightened-- see this movie.
Funfact: the whole movie is shot on a canon 5d mark II.

Does that mean it's one of those hand held camera movies where I will get queasy from the motion?

Excellent question.

It's not Blair witch; far from it. The cinematography is on par with any Hollywood production; and probably better than most. Think Hitchcock composition only with excellent use of color-- shots of foreboding, not in your face violence and gore, leaving the viewer's mind to it's imagination. I'd liken it to dark thriller novel, where instead of the stereotypical horror response, 'don't go in there', you yearn to know what will happen next.
