I honestly don't understand the hatred this movie receives. It was the same thing with The Blair Witch Project. The hatred of the sequels, I can sort of understand, what with the milking of something that worked in previous years instead of pushing innovation. I get that. But it's clear the first of the series were not meant for the massive exposure that they wound up getting, and for the modest budgets they had, they did damn well.

A lot of the gripe they get seems to stem from the fact that you never see the demon/witch/monster, too, and I honestly find that to be the braver approach. Am I the only one of the opinion that the true art of horror is in the anticipation? That instant gratification attitude is what stuck us with so many crappy slasher porns that were such a disservice to the genre.

Just saying.
