Well considering I saw this movie with the masking set to flat instead of scope (resulting in about a 8 foot strip of blank screen at the top) it was pretty decent.

It was wierd seeing a movie filmed with those new Sony cameras, since I'm so used to regular film cameras, it looks quite different.

As for the movie, it was really creepy, much more so than Blair Witch, especially when those session tapes were playing, those voices were just scary (Things like that spook me). The asylum setting (it's a real shutdown asylum in Boston or somewhere I read) was also very scary, there's NO way I would ever try to clean that place up even with a 10 grand bonus. The dried cracked up paint on the walls
the leftover pictures on the wall from previous mental patients also added a really creepy atmosphere. The pacing was great, we learn about the asylum and its old inhabitants little by little.

I'm still debating whether I liked the ending or not, either way a good entertaining, creepy movie.

4 out of 5 stars.

FYI- It is the old Danvers State Mental Hospital in Danvers Mass, (The city that I live and work in) it is just north of Boston, and it is very creepy.
