Ruined by the horrible narrator!


Seriously, the reporter girl's acting is so atrocious, you'd think she was reading a weather report! The premise and tone was otherwise interesting, a shame this girl ruined it.

yes, I was just coming on here to say the dame thing, if
they had just did the whole movie without her talking, it
would have been a lot better, and also gotten rid of the
score, seeing how it was supposed to be found footage.
not only did it ruin because of her bad acting, also if the
director would have happened to watch a few films he would
have seen that the girl looks very similar to a the girl
in one of the stories from the "VHS" movie, which also had
the girl in front of a webcam just like this, makes it seem
like he copied it.

That was the point, she was a student intern.

Awwww...you guys are mean. I think you all are being too hard on the actress/character. She was the most likeable character in the whole movie for me. At least she seemed real and like she had a heart. Since she had sympathy and expressed remorse for the victims and the tragedy instead of just staying cool and detached like most reporters would. People who act like they have their sh*t all together and have it all figured out, but people/characters like that just seem fake to me. She was unsure of herself and in over her head at her job, which I related to and found endearing. I guess I’m just different and find endearing (and relate to) what “normal” people find annoying lol So I guess characters like that aren't for everyone, but yeah, she just seemed "real" and flawed to me and I appreciated that. Apparently I'm the only one? ::shrug::

So no offense intended to anyone here, but I have to disagree. Just really tired of people acting like hardasses and all the Social Darwinism and judging of flawed (especially socially flawed) characters/people on here and on the net as a whole. I don't know if its just because they're easy targets (might as well punch a puppy lol) and usually don't fight back or what, but its not cool and really needs to stop. I know everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but its just ridiculous I’m made to feel like the only person who feels this way and makes me feel like I’m losing my mind. So screw you guys lol Did a whole rant about it in another topic I just created :-)
