It was a clever movie, and because it was so original, I rather like it.
Though, it was not the first to do the documentary style movie to make it look real.

I thought it was well done, but the night before it opened in theaters, i saw an interview on fox with Heather and Josh, so that kind of spoiled it.
I found a lot of people loved it, but then they found out it was *gasp* just a fucking movie, and got pissed off. my assumption is that they got pissy that they were duped.l The movie didnt "suck", it was cheap. And it worked. if you figured out it was not real before the evidence was handed to you, bravo, you get a cookie. the fact is, it was original, and i find it odd that so many people who just "want a little originality in movies" hate this one so much.

Just because something is original it does not automatically mean good …
A seven wheeled car would be original, but I wouldn’t buy one!

I went to this film knowing it was fake, basically because I read every article about it before it came out. Even so, the film seemed real, which did a lot for helping me suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy it.
I, too, do not understand the people who hated this film. I just don't get it. Well, that's not true... I can understand certain people hating this movie: people who want to be shown everything because their imaginations are shot to hell, and people who need constant eye candy because they don't have either the intelligence or the attention span to follow the story. I have written so much on this site in defense of The Blair Witch Project, but there are still people who say it was nothing but people moving sticks and rocks in the woods. It was MORE than that. Take some ritilin, and watch it again.

Hats off to Stingy Jack.
The film is a fantastic experience, though it must be watched under the right conditions - i.e. alone if possible, in the dark, with the volume up and absolutely no interruptions. Then it seeps into you, and by the last 10 minutes if you are not on the edge of your seat compelled about how on earth it will all end you may as well give up on horror - and indeed FILMS - altogether. It's not a true original - the basic premise is likely copied from CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST - but a superbly executed `mockumentary` that stands head and shoulders above the likes of THE SIXTH SENSE and THE OTHERS (both good, scary modern films, but always just that in the viewer's mind - `films`) for immersible, believable tension and suspense. The `is it real?` selling point probably fooled more typical folk than we would expect - it's not the producers' fault if their marketing campaign was as equally brilliant as their unique film.
