It probably cost more than that to re-dub Darth Vader (unnecessarily) wailing "NOOOOOOO!"<br /><br />Second, I like that it told the story from the point of view of psycho freak Andrew. We usually get the POV of the "good guys" as we watch the anti-hero disintegrate. Kinda liked that they did it the other way around. <br /><br />And third, I (kinda) remember thinking that they actually did a pretty good job with continuity where the "found footage" was concerned; very consistent and sometimes even a little surprising.<br /><br />Totally gotta agree on any criticism regarding plot. Or lack thereof. With an interesting story I would have given this one an 8/10. Completely sober, a 6/10 sounds fair. Next time, try it with a Long Island Ice Tea (or 4) as I did...easily a 7/10. :)Mike Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534185744903304814noreply@blogger.com
