Boring and predictable. The writing was terrible.
I wanted to smack that young Brazilian girl on the boat.
I’ve been watching it off and on today (on my iPad...ABC has a great app.)
It’s creepy, and camera work like Blair Witch, plus the “reality show” feel to the story line is interesting.
But I think it could get old quick if it doesn’t develop some sort of character developement beyond what we know to this point.
At the time, I thought that it was pretty unremarkable. OK Horror flick. Nothing particularly good or bad.
However, I had the worst nightmares for a week after it. Sheet tearing, wake-up-hollering-in-a-cold-sweat type stuff, every single night. Which is pretty unusual for me, that hardly ever happens.
Always made me wonder if there was something subliminal that I missed. I've not seen the movie again, and I'm not planning on it.
If it's scary you want just watch how the media is pushing for Obama's reelection and/or Romney as his replacement. Frightening.
Saw it. Liked it enough to give it a chance. Overall enjoyable.
I watched “Pandorum” the other night and liked it. The reviewers must not have liked it because it was an 09 release and I never heard of it. Its sci fi horror with an interesting twist at the end. It stars Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster and Antje Trau.

It's not really scary, though.
But it is one of the most shocking, gut-wrenching pieces of American literature ever written. A masterpiece.
I Tivoed it and will watch it tonight. I think I heard they produced 10 episodes.
I tried. But I fell asleep. Last thing I remember was a tree filled with dolls.
Is there a place where I can watch the rest?
Up until then, I thought the concept was pretty cool. The switches between live and televised views was distracting.
My DVR was set to auto-record, so I watched about 5 minutes of the 2nd hour.
I immediately got suspicious when the dragon fly kept buzzing around.
Then, when it crawled into the young girl’s mouth and she turned into a bot of the older woman’s husband, then started the convultions, that was a bit much.
I doubt I’ll be a regular viewer of that series.
Don’t get invested. Just another sad attempt to recreate “Lost,” right down to the setting and “the eye” poster/logo — which was the first shot of the first episode of “Lost” and the last shot of the last episode.
And the ratings — not a total bomb but a little worse than mediocre. An expensive serialized show like this has to come out of the gate with a big audience, or it never pencils out.
It’ll be gone soon.
I watched NCIS, and NCIS LA. Best shows on TV.
What’s a TV ?
The scariest thing I’ve seen on TV recently were the returns from the Florida primary. Seeing that hideous monster up on stage with those chillingly almost-lifelike eyes taking credit for the win has caused me to lose sleep every night since.
Looks like there’s a link to watch it online.

I’ll take a look.
Thanks for the post.
Thought it as kind of old and boring. Really tired of close up running camera crap. Just not into it. Never really liked Blair Witch garbage.
