This movie has one of the most tense and frightening climaxes I've ever seen. The last half hour of the film will have you biting your nails to the quick. Aside from the infamous tent scene though, there is little else to offer. The movie was constructed for that last third, all of the bland interviews and conversations of the first half are simply there to create a realistic feel for the movie and the characters, and then when the scares finally show up that's where all the tedious parts of the film come through, and I'm entirely fine with that if it effectively gets me curling up in a ball trying not to turn off the movie before things get real scary.
Don't expect a blockbuster here. Instead think of it as a subtle 45 minute build up to a scare you'll never forget.
