Eh, you guys had me going with the trailer-praise. Granted, the movie's premise looks good, but man, isn't there a new way to make a horror trailer? Enough with the:
Blackouts
Slamming-Door sound effects
Brief, blurred video footage
Swelling soundtrack leading up to the film's silent title (Well, I still don't mind that one, actually)

Saw it the other day. It really surprised me by being not terrible and actually its pretty good. The acting is very good, especially by Patrick Fabian in the lead role. He injects a lot of charisma and even humor into the film. The movie builds tension and atmosphere very well and is almost totally devoid of cheap jump scares. It never goes too far over the top which was what usually plagues these kinda films. The ending isn't that great but I really enjoyed the entire film overall. Recommended.

I do agree though, as is, I think its some of the best internet marketing I've seen in quite a while.

If it didn't have that line, it would actually be viral. People would talk about it, ask what it is, etc. You know that would disturb people to the bone if they saw it. As it is, it's just a commercial.

That's a pretty cool way to advertise your movie on the internet.
My favorite was the black kid getting his wank on, followed by Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

It looks interesting, but I need another one of these documentary-style horror movies like I need the Blair Witch up my ass.

harry knowles has posted his review here (of course it's positive...he's friends with eli roth) but this part i found most interesting:
Before I tell you to leave this write up, I will let you know a few things. Any CG that you see in trailers, chat roulette and on TV Spots… has absolutely zero/zip/nada to do with the film. There is no CG in this movie.
