Weird. But really interesting; it does feel rather like The Ring and Blair Witch, only stranger. Some analysis on how themes fit together would be interesting; there are several different threads that all have similar bits and pieces running through the whole thing, and an in-depth discussion is kind of warranted. Anyway, it's got some goofy moments to make you laugh, a lot of outright eerieness to make you cringe, some good tension/suspense. The ending(s) seemed a bit out of place, mostly because of the camera's point of view being different from the rest of the film. There are two endings (one alternate one that doesn't really make much sense either), both shot with a similar camera angle. Neither explain much, but are interesting. Definitely recommended for people who like the aforementioned films.
