It is easy to dismiss this film as not scary. Sure, I never jumped watching this film but I sure as hell was on edge on my first viewing.
The sound design really sells this film, it really does sound like something is out there watching them. Add on top some amazing improv from the actors and suddenly you are effortlessly drawn into the world.
These characters are scared, hungry and lost. The horror comes from there. You feel bad for them as you see their arguments. I genuinely get chills every time I see that famous scene where heather talks to the camera near the end. You can see all the hope in here eyes has gone. That, for me Atleast, is very scary.
I love this film, it was original for its time and I do think everyone should give it a go! Its more a story of people coming to terms with their inevitable deaths than the death itself.
