Unwatchable if you can't handle Shaky Cam

I've been waiting to see this movie since I heard about it from the film festivals, but I couldn't get past 10 minutes. Just a warning to those who get sick watching home-made video, shaky cam before you purchase.

Hardly shaky. Were you on coke? Or speed? We you perhaps shaking? Did you find it scary?

I genuinely don't understand why you say that mate? i suffer from terrible motion sickness and cannot watch films like cloverfield etc because of this. In this film i only remember 1 shaky camera moment that lasted about 5 seconds, other than that i honestly don't remember another moment and i literally just finished watching it?
I understand maybe your threshold is lower than mine in suffering from nausea, but for me there really wasn't anything near a shaky cam

Were you having A seizure, or do you suffer from Parkinson's disease? This wasn't Shaky at all IMO. Get your eyes checked, or lay off the alcohol before you attempt this one again! Anyone else out there that's reading this, I can assure you this movie won't get you motion sickness.

The few times that the movie 'blinked' was obviously designed to make the viewer question or wonder about the true nature of the overall environment within the film. Was it caused by aliens, spirits, satellites, or was the entire viewing experience just a 'film-within-a-film', and that,'the resolution'(pun intended!),was just a little shaky?

I get terrible motion sickness normally. It inhibits me from playing video games like grand theft auto, and watching movies like cloverfield or the more recent V/H/S. With that said, I had absolutely no problem watching this film. I felt ZERO nausea and barely noticed any camera shaking. The OP must just not have liked the indie-style to of this film.

if you have motion sickness try playing on PC or at least go for games that utilize 60 FPS with a TV that supports that. high FPS does wonders for motion sickness and you would be able to play games you like again.

Minimal if any shaky cam in the whole thing. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this movie. A sort of cabin in the woods meets Cache, but entirely it's own thing. Great watch.

There was some shaking, especially near the ending, but it wasnt a lost footage type of a movie. the shoulder camera is most definatelly survivable.
