Superb performances from the two leads, amazing camerawork, incredible tension and pacing, and an impeccable script aside, I would've given this a solid 5 if not for the long monologues. Maybe because I watched this late in the night and I was so sleepy but I feel like one needs to keep their eyes and ears glued to every single thing everyone is saying. They talk fast, and the heavy southern accent wasn't helping. Thank fk for subtitles amirite.
Thank you, Jack Quaid for the recommendation
more than 10 years later and this is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Such a brilliant script. A masterpiece in its own right.

Okay, I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but tldr; I didn't like it. It was an overhyped convoluted mess.
Spoiler review below.
I was very excited about this film because of all the trailers, marketing, promotion, and reviews-- all of them said this was the scariest horror movie of the decade. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, my favorite YouTube reviewers praising it, what have you-- everyone was raving about it. So yeah, I was pretty hyped. Then came…
pretty great found footage film. the last bit was a bit overdone but there were sequences here that were absolutely terrifying.
