I'm going to keep it short... It was good. It was as claustrophobic if not more than the original. It felt like a real "found footage" movie which I think has been lost in most recent movies. It wasn't too slow or too fast. They hit all of the key points without over using any cliches from the genre. I don't want to spoil anything, it's worth watching on your own.

How high is the bad language rating?

Nearly non existent. There are some scenes but it's minor by most standards. Gore was minimal too.

Good, I hope y'all love it. Its a very effective movie. I hate talking in terms of no spoilers because I would much rather talk about it.probably the only thing I can say to rest some minds at ease because I couldn't have been the only one thinking it... No aliens...

Same here, for both remarks. I'm really excited for this, being a fan of the
first two and all.

I want to read through this thread but I only read a bit of Jake's orig post and the post by SK above. I'm THAT worried about even the most minuscule of spoilers.

I've been very careful... No spoilers. If you liked the original, you'll like this one. That's all you get.

Unfortunately, my friend backed out on me. I may go tomorrow to a matinee. Alone.

Alone is the best way to see a scary movie!

Yeah, but, I don't like going to the movies alone.

I get it. I actually went alone today, and it was a first for me and I loved it, but I was totally alone in the theater. Not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if that were not the case.

I always go to the cinema alone. It's actually rare that I go with people anymore. I really like seeing horror movies alone though. I become completely absorbed by the movie.
I saw Blair Witch today. I really liked it. I have some thoughts about specific elements of the story that has me coming away from the film with a completely different interpretation that I didn't expect but I won't spoil here.
