The one thing that annoyed me


Great film, watched it at night, alone in complete darkness wearing headphones for maximum effect.

However the silliest thing was during Hori's 'attack' at Kobayashi's home at the end, Kobyashi doesn't put the camera down once or try and subdue Hori?

I know they had to film it for the movie's sake, but this irked me immensely.

This is my biggest problem with "found footage" movies. That particular sequence is probably the film's most implausible bit, and mars an otherwise devastating scene.

Yep I have to agree, my wife is on fire, quick better pick up my video camera.

Yeah it wasn't very good. Obviously with found footage we have to suspend a bit of disbelief so the characters can keep rolling and so we keep watching. All they had to do was him dropping the camera right away. It was at the entrance to the house so they could have caught everything with where it would drop.
