I was ready to be disappointed. I came in expecting this to be awful like "Blair Witch". Well, guess what? The film works. About the only criticism I have is that yes, he does bring the camera along everywhere to an absurd degree, but when the screen goes blue (when they are sleeping) it is incredibly chilling.
Not only that, but the accompanying low-range, "rumble" of ambient horror sound really freaks you out. The actors did a good job of appearing "real", especially Katie.
As far as the ending goes, yes it will shock you...however, the final shot felt a bit clichéd. I would have changed it just a little to make it even scarier.
Some people complain about the mundane stuff. But what they don't understand is that that is necessary to make the couple and their experience feel more real.
