Why so much hype?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Adam Green who has given us "Hatchet" which I praised and "Frozen" which was a bore, brings us a semi-documentary style film as his late entry into the hand held genre craze. Yes, even during the disco era, most respected rockers broke down and did a disco song.In this feature, Adam Green played himself. He is contacted by retired detective William Dekker (Ray Wise) about a group of "monsters" or deformed humans who live underground in what he calls "The Marrow." They travel around with a camera getting a lot of pictures of nothing and then like all hand held genre films, things pick up in the last few minutes.The monster make-up was excellent, however Adam Green in front of the camera was not. In fact most of the horror film crowd who played themselves in front of the camera were a yawn including Kane Hodder without a hockey mask.Worth a Redbox rental

A horror production team spends its spare time investigating an old loner's claims about an underground world of monsters in the woods nearby, and soon discovers tantalising evidence of something deadly ...I was looking forward to this. Clever concept, and it starts fresh with a peek behind the curtain of the horror industry. Mostly hand held cam and all that, but well done.Sadly a great chunk of the movie is spent waiting for Adam Green to shut up. He's the writer/director playing himself in the lead role, and proves incredibly irritating. How many pages of dialogue did he write or - shudder - improvise for himself? And it's painful to see him smirking his way through scenes opposite a real actor, Ray Wise who plays Decker.Many other scenes were misjudged - the first camera stakeout where they wouldn't turn on nightvision because "it's all green", the utterly pointless Boston sequence, the bad acting at the convention etc. Others play themselves, and they're OK because the scenes are mercifully brief.The music was poor, just bland and obvious.I liked the story, and it did get its spooks on in the final scenes. But the director ought to have taken the advice given early on - get an actor to play himself.Overall very frustrating. But not as bad as Kevin Smith's directorial snigger in Tusk.

Jesus! I was dumb to enough to watch this movie as of 25/3/15 cause it was 6/10 stars rated.What i didn't look into was the age of people that voted. Yeah all under 18. No i wasn't expecting that this movie was going to be something good, just something to watch and eat pizza, but now really, this is the WORST movie i 've ever watched. Boring boring boring..... Really boring..Nothing happens the first 60minutes, and then the last 30 minutes you see some not B not C but some D quality monsters appear. No its not the low budget, its the lack of creativity that destroyed this movie, and of course the director or talentless actor or writer or whatever he thinks he is. If you are going to watch it, just find the FF key on your controller.

Com'on fellows this was--- How can i put this a bad film . It had no climax i't just continuously kept spinning me around waiting for it to make a point .Like that old dead or alive song YOU GOT ME SPIN SPIN BABY LIKE A RECORD BABY SPIN SPIN SPIN SPINNING LIKE A RECORD BABY. DAM I MEAN WHEN YOUR WIFE'S 5 MINUTE CAMEO WAS THE HIGH LITE OF THE FILM.i VIEWED THIS MOVIE OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD. iT WAS LIKE HAVING TO TO CLEAN OUT MY BASEMENT AFTER A FLOOD .DON'T WANT TO CLEAN THE BASEMENT BUT THE SMELL OF MOLD MAKES YOU DO IT JUST TO GET IT OVER WITH' AND I KNOW THAT PRODUCING A FILM AIN'T THE EASIEST THING IN THE COSMOS TO DO.HOPE YOU MADE SOME MONEY OFF THIS THING BECAUSE I BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DO SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING.Spend some money on the monster stuff ,spend 2 dollars on the sets.I know you figured you might get lucky and have a blair witch project on your hands.I was hoping you and the camera guy got it to a fist fight or you found a half eaten dog or something were was the tension or stress .last thing ...If you try to make babies the way you make movies your mother is never going to be a grand parent.
