I have to say that I liked it, very satisfying. I went in 'knowing' full well this was another 'found footage' film and that there's no way this was real. Yet it was still eery...and I like THAT! I'd rank this film in my short list of bizarre alien thriller favorites (Altered, The Forgotten, Fire in the Sky...guess you could throw Communion in there too...I'm sure there's a few more that I'm forgetting at the moment). I enjoyed the alternative techniques they used in filming this movie: split screens (sometimes in four quadrants) using 'dramatization' and 'found footage', audio recordings, the distorted video, etc. Extremely atypical when compared to the big Hollywood box-office hits...which adds to the charm of it. This kind of filmmaking feels more 'real' to me than all the 3-D magic in the world! Definitely an enjoyable thriller.
