Astonishingly dull Blair Witchery taking place in the Amazon jungle. Characters with limited personalities are frightened by unsubtle animal noises. If the barks and warbles sounded as if they were deep in the jungle, or far in the distance, that would be more effective, but the snarls sound as if they have been recorded close to the camera in post-production. This is impossible, however, because we are told that the footage we are watching is actually real, even down to the ambient incidental score present during the rare moments of tension.
“I need to go pee.”
“Why are you filming this?”
“It’s in my blood.”
“OMG, OMG,OMG, OMG, OMG.”
I couldn’t get worked up about this at all. My score is 3 out of 10, with an extra point for a fairly satisfying revelation toward the end.
