I won't pretend this film doesn't have its problems. The acting isn't amazing and I really didn't think it was paced very well. But it really did scare me, which is essentially what I wanted from it. I can see how the focus on the relationships which occupies most of the film might detract from this for some, but it has its moments even early on. I am a big FF horror fan, gradually watching my way through all I can find. This one is in the upper third of the list for me so far. Fellow fans of the genre, I would definitely recommend giving it a chance.Oh and by the way I'm writing this mostly because of the huge swathe of terrible reviews of the film I've just seen, which claim the only reason it's rated as it is (6.5 currently) is owing to fake reviews. I disagree, I actually think 6.5 is pretty accurate based on other movies I've seen. You may apply the "how many other films has this person reviewed" test if you wish, you'll find I haven't reviewed any others (I think. Maybe one). And yet here we are.

As my previous reviewers already said, the main issue with this movie isn't the story but the characters itself. None of them is likable, starting from a hysterical whiny woman who seems to be the main character but you want her dead so badly, to her douche boyfriend, her somewhat acceptable friend and his absolutely plane blonde girlfriend. All of them screaming around and running into circles just by hearing a bird. The story could have been really interesting if they would focus on that, but they chose to give us a glimpse of the personal issues of the characters, but not that much so we could possibly care about. Overall nice to watch once, but there are definitely better mockumentaries out there.

Please look in the comments section of this movie and you will see proof that people were paid to rate this a nine or ten. This is not a good movie, and lets go over why it is not good. Found footage film where nothing happens until the last ten minutes.No ones phone works, what a surprise... No one is really friends and are easily turned against each other. People go off alone and get attacked, everyone knows this has happened, one person goes looking for them. This process repeats until everyone is dead. There are lots of opportunities to leave, no one tries to leave. Tree is evil and is well known for hundreds of years, yet no one tries to chop it or burn it down, or hire contractors to get rid of it. For some reason no matter what is happening someone picks up the camera and films...OMG I am being killed, better setup the camera so someone can watch this later. Its just not good, its not the worst movie I have ever seen but its as boring as your parents vacation pictures until the last ten minutes.

I saw an ad for this movie on a horror site. Came to IMDb and saw that it had a 6.5 rating on here. Reviews say how amazing it is. I watched it. It was awful. I assumed I was just trolled by fake reviews. I was. If you look at the positive member reviews, click on the name of the person who posted it. This is the one and only movie those "members" ever reviewed. Didn't even attempt to cover their tracks by throwing in some other random reviews. Nope, just the one. The people behind this movie are trolls and their movie is awful. In fairness, it's my own fault for not doing making sure the reviews were legit. Lesson learned.
