To be honest that scene in The Strangers was pretty scary:

Saw the trailer for this in front of Redbelt and aside from how silly the film seems, I was more struck by how ugly it looked. Poor lighting, lots of shaky closeups etc. I have no problem with lo-fi filmmaking, but I do have a problem when there is no craft behind it. Clerks looks like a cinematographic masterpiece by comparison.

And yeah, someone needs to correct the director spelling.....

Fixed. Chalk that up to the s being conveinently next to the d on the keyboard or not really caring about who directed it lol.

It looks like my home movies. DV "film"making should be banned.

the presence of greta gerwig, the single most irritating actor i've ever witnessed, makes this unwatchable for me

Even David Lynch, who can make it creepy and unsettling?

I was surprised by the end that this was a horror film, I thought it was going to be some type of making-of of a never released film. I'm getting tired of the shitty camera work popularized by Blair Witch, it seems that this trick is now a fad in the horror genre with Romero's Diary of the Dead and Cloverfield. I feel like the shaky camera replaces story, things don't need to be explained now because everything is from a subjective POV and the characters themselves have no idea what's going on.

What are you basing this on? Her two previous roles? Hardly enough to make that kind of proclamation (though admittedly I have seen neither.)

Looks like she does fine in this. Pretty easy on the eyes, as well. Reminds me a lot of Cécile De France in High Tension.

Somebody!

Saw me!

Naked!

ZOMG!

I'm okay with this movie. A kind of pudgy guy having a shot at some secks encourages me to hope. I'd watch this on USA at 3 a.m., 15 years ago.

The only way I'd sit down to watch this is if there were interruptions by Gilbert Godfried every twenty minutes.

I've still got some faith; I like the Duplass Brothers... The Puffy Chair was surprisingly alright, although the mumblecore genre has since experienced a backlash.

I have seen them. They're enough.

Did you see the Showtime special he did last year, Dirty Jokes? He did a version of "The Aristocrats" that I can only liken to the most awesome 30-minute version of "Dazed And Confused" Zeppelin ever did live lol.
