Obviously this is a new way to make a film.
Whilst not giving clear dialog and action direction. No, I dont believe in the "project" but in the film-making idea.
The acting on heathers part was almost supurb with one fatal flaw....she filmed everything when she should have run for the hills in sheer fright. When you are scared to near insanity, one doesn`t pick up a camera and do a documentary. I do believe that heather at several times was afraid of "the unknown" and the sudder disappearance of one of the trio made this effect more intense.
It was an interesting technique that was ulitized rather well. One also has to assume that if a "known" actor were used, the effect would have been nulled. For this technique to work, there must be certain "gimmies"..these are...unknown actors in uncertain circumstances with a dash of folklore. To this end, the film succeded but the trio was to eager to "film" things that have no purpose regardless of intent.
Am I joking? Yes and no....the "project" is folklore and the filmmakers were "deprived of a little sanity".
