The film John du Pont made of the woods...


There is most definitely a man (in hunting fatigues) walking left to right in the film. My husband thought I was going mad and then he saw it too. Neither of us believe in ghosts but it is fairly obvious that this has been added by the filmmakers...

Why? du Pont was fairly clearly mentally ill. Adding something takes away from it all.


Great movie otherwise.

Thoughts on this??

I saw that too with my girlfriend. I'm pretty sure it was an added effect showing the highlight of John's mental illness.

Yeah i saw it too. I think its just an artistic addition to replecate Johns mental state while he watched hours of footage of the woods. I had to rewind it a few times to make sure it wasnt me that was nuts!!! :)

It was just done to illustrate how some of the wrestlers saying "oh, yes I see it too" made it all the more real to Dupont.

Have a friend close to the production of the film who said the director and other key staff have no idea how that effect came to be in the film. The only people who could've possibly had access/ability to do if swear it wasn't them. Has left everyone involved quite spooked.

Somewhere at a film school near you, some bored teenage intern is laughing his ass off at your post.

I understand. Thank you for telling me. -The masked bandit

Funny story but it's obviously an added effect...

STFU bucknife! I can't stand losers like you who come on message boards and pretend as if you're close to the production team or the filmmaker. It's bullshet! You're just doin it for attention.

I find it very hard to believe that a filmmaker is that oblivious that he has no idea what is being put in his film! All filmmakers watch every bit of footage they shoot. If something gets put in there, such as the visual effect in question, he made the decision to put it in there. It didn't just magically appear out of no where! There is absolutely no credibility to what you said. Go play pretend somewhere else lil boy and stop wasting people's time with your imaginary stories! Your stupid comment is both unwanted and unnecessary!

I think if you actually had friends then you wouldn't be wasting your time on here making up stories about having a friend. Maybe your imaginary friend can explain the basics of post production to you, that way your next post might be slightly less ill informed.
