I must not get queasy very easily, as I had no problem with it. By and large, the camera is not *that* shaky, at least to the point where you can't understand why- they're tromping through the woods and they're scared half to death. Many have complained about the shaky-cam, the cussing, how nothing 'really happens', and that it's not scary. Sitting in a theater surrounded by my friends with popcorn in my lap and watching Mike and Heather run around some creepy old house, I felt for the first and last time in my adult life *real, creeping fear* when I myself was not in danger. I saw this movie shortly after it opened in wide release. In the summer of Star Wars: Episode 1, this was the movie that originated several cultural symbols.
(NOTE: as far as I'm concerned, the opinions of anyone calling any movie the best- or even more especially, the worst- movie ever are to be immediately disregarded.) Highly innovative in its way, it spawned many parodies and an interesting but inferior sort-of sequel. Many love it and consider it the best thing since sliced bread, and plenty more absolutely hate it and call it tripe, drivel, awful, wretched, the worst ever, etc. What is there left to say? I've waited for most of the hype to die down to even add my comments for this movie to IMDB, and here they are: This is really a movie that has polarized a lot of people.
