barely watchable

put this dvd on and the first 10 minutes you'll think the dvd itself is messed up. seriously, i thought there was a problem with the dvd until i figured out it was an intentional "error". the plot is about a reality tv show where a group of women are chosen to "survive" a day in an haunted asylum to win. so the dvd glitches out with a harsh electronic noise to simulate jumps from one camera to another or for setting up tracking on cameras etc. it is nearly unwatchable and annoyed me so much that even after i figured out that it was meant to be this way i nearly stopped watching it because i couldn't stand it. i love blair witch, so i can take it when its done well and purposefully...this is just downright appalling.

to make it worse the women characters chosen for the show are parodies of female characters. almost like the parts were intended for the spice girls. i'm not kidding...its laughably bad.

the deaths are fun and things do start getting surprising. there are some creepy characters who of course actually do haunt the hotel (absolutely no surprise there).

honestly, i've seen worse, but this film is barely tolerable. nothing much worth seeing here.
