In the realm of POV/Found Footage horror, I haven't seen Blair Witch, but I think this is definitely better than Cloverfield & the Paranormal Activity series.
Exquisite execution. It really breathes in the beginning, getting you comfortable with the found footage format, making it feel like real life. Then, when it has you nestled comfortably in safe hands, it grabs you and squeezes, tighter and tighter, taking that breath away. Simple, elegant and genuinely scary. Absolutely essential viewing for any horror fan.
I really enjoyed this. For some reason I actually thought I was preparing to watch the American version (I was heretofore unaware that it was in fact based on a Spanish original), though I'm glad I caught the original article.
The only downside to my viewing experience was that I watched it alone, and so had nobody to scare the bejeezus out of during the tense moments, preferably with an unexpected grab to the midsection accompanied by a loud scream.
