Looks like The Blair Witch Project, in a desert, minus originality.

Yeah, that was the trailer's main way of selling the movie.

Anyone catch this? It was actually quite good, especially the first half. Doesn't feel Blair Witch like at all, and the mystery is quite interesting. A couple of scenes really spooked me. Combines the realities of desert warfare with super natural characteristics. No hand held cameras. No shakiness. Decent dialog. Present tense voice over during the whole movie though.

One thing that bothered me were the symbols that were left behind in one scene. The same kind of trinket-like things we saw in Blair Witch. I thought that was a bit much. Other than that I enjoyed the journey. I have a feeling a lot of people here won't like the ending.

I watched this again last night. I still like it. Very eerie.

Checked it out. Very spooky! I wish the ending made more sense, or they delivered more on the ideas they started, but as it is felt like they ran out of money. Worth a watch, but probably just one for me.

Why do you think the ending isn't clear?

Who was the guy walking through weeds? Were they aliens? (I assume). Or was it just an interdimensional booby trap, hence why all the flares went up after he shot his up? If not, then the aliens were just fucking with him, or he was on a different plane than the search parties looking for them, but that doesnt really make sense either way. And then the end credits with the wife, none of that gave any more clues as to what happened unless I just entirely missed it.

Again, I LIKE all these ideas! I just wish it had committed to one and gone for it as far as completing the concept.
