*WARNING! THIS WILL BE A BRIEF REVIEW, AND MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
Initially, when the movie was ended, I's left with a WTF? haning in the air. The guy and girl are trapped under a bridge, when bombs go off, with the thing coming after them, and the last thing they say is "I love you!"
The entire movie takes place through the view of the camcorder for wishing the guy off to Japan. It's rather choppy, and while that's good, I feel it only works for a few scenes, not an entire move. It seemed almost "Blair Witch" in the making of it, at least.
I just felt that the movie didn't really grab me, no where near the level that the previews did. I'd only reccommend it if curious to see it. Otherwise, try something else.

The movie was great. I myself am going to buy it when available. After the movie was over, the theater was silent. No one knew what to do and everyone was very disturbed. My friend was not able to eat after watching it, and I must admit, I was a little sick at my stomache as well. It just seemed too real. if it was not shot like it was shot with a handycam, then the effect would be lost, and it would have just been another movie.

Really? Sick after watching it??? I don't want to seem rude, but do you not watch many horror movies? If this disturbed you, then I would hate to have you watch something like The Ring, or any of the old Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday The Thirteenth movies! As I said, it just didn't grab me. Now maybe, if they filmed the movie like United 93, I would have been more like woah!

haha same here. When the movie ended I was like what? Is that end already? I thought that both of them would survive and that the monster would die or something. Heard that it's a low-budget movie. I guess overall it's alright and could be pretty good, if you don’t mind the storyline that is. some loved the movie and some didnt.

I loved it! I loved that it had me on the edge of my seat! The motion didn't bother me but, I can understand how some might be bothered by it.
