    Surprisingly Haunting!
    I watched this movie on netflix with no high expectations at all. I saw it as another poorly made blood and guts indie film with no actual story. The first scene caught me off guard. With a snuff film showing a man being brutally murdered by a beautiful woman, I knew this one had some potential. The acting and writing was solid, and the camera (unlike so many "cool" movies today) was stable and you could tell what was going on. In a world where movies like Paranormal Activity rake in dough even though people don't know what is going on half of the time, this movie was a nice change of pace and actually scared me for a good while after the movie ended, as opposed to a couple of cheap pop-corn scares. I definitely recommend it!
