“Just watched this and was pleasantly surprised. Especially after seeing the IMDb page and checking out the HORRIBLE poster and low rating. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEssentially a tale about government chemical mind control experiments, with a mix of a scary shortwave radio transmission and some super cool Lovecraftian elements a la From Beyond, it is done in a scary manner, with a mix of found footage, real and faked news clips, and sometimes just plain old standard filmed storytelling. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe flashlight, a common horror cliché, is also used to great effect here. I can see some people not liking this one and it being a polarizing movie but I enjoyed it very much. It also boasts a great performance by Ted Levine, who freaked us out as Rusty Nail in u0026quot;Joyride.u0026quot; This is the first scary movie Iu0026#39;ve seen in a while. The last thing I can say is itu0026#39;s a mix of originality, cliché, and u0026quot;borrowingu0026quot;, but what movie today isnu0026#39;t?”
