all fiction? I honestly do not get it. It makes no sense and it does nothing for the movie.

I have to agree. These "fake real" scenes carried no credibility and disrupted the flow of the movie. It would have been better if they hadn't been present at all.

I actually didnt have a problem with the fake "real" scene's. I thought it gave the movie a bit more... umm....umhpf? I guess.

The thing i took issue with was the diatribe by Mila and the other actor before and after the movie. Thats when i felt the level of dishonesty now surpassed a level of indignity that even Hollywood should be ashamed of.

So true it annoyed me that they try to pass it off as based on reality and then the actors come on stating it more. Just annoyed me more in the end.

How about Blair Witch Project? IU thought that was great and it was not only a hoax, but one they've taken really far. And it hasn't done badly for the movie.

I tend to not know about a movie when I am going to see it. It doesn't give me false expectations that way. Every now and then I hit a pearl, the other times it is ok, or just downright bad.

I was looking at this, with the message in front, texting a friend about it. He didn't know about the movie, so couldn't tell me anything. When the officer was left behind at the Tyler residence, that's where I decided it would probably be more of BWP, then a real story.

I liked it. I see people comparing it to Fire in the Skies, but it is a totally different story. I liked this better for story and suspense, I liked FITS better for visual effects.

That was found footage not real actors stating authenticity?

God the "real" abi was SO annoying!
