Well I had been searching for this movie for over a year before I finally got my hands on it. Afterall this movie is from Sweden and I live in the US.I had heard the rumors: Blair Witch Project copycat. This statement is not entirely true though... There is a lot of simularties, and its obvious that the director was heavily inspired by Blair.. But this one is good enough to stand on its own.No ghosts, no aliens (you don't actually see any kind of creature other then the dead chicken looking thing in the beginning).. This movie relies on suspense alone. Was there something out in those woods that made these 5 scientists go insane? We don't get the answer.What irritates me the most here is that the movie is shot with a shaky handcam... yet there is no explanation of it. Why is the movie shot like this when there isn't a 6th person with them shooting the footage? I honestly think adding a cameraman to the story would be more reasonable then the shakeyness for no reason... you can even see the cameraman's shadow at one point.. come on now, if you're gonna ride on Blair's success at least go all the way with it.Other then that - a perfect horror movie.

First of all, I really don't know why people keep comparing this to 'The Blair Witch Project'.Yes, it's a low budget movie that takes place in a forest, which REALLY isn't unique for 'The Blair Witch Project'. In fact, most low budget horror movies I have seen have been shot in some nearby forest. And that's also where the similarities end since this movie has actors, a script, a story with a plot that is far more similar to 'The Puppet Masters'/'Body Snatchers' and, best of all, no hysterically screaming teens.I haven't rated it yet, since I'm not yet sure exactly what grade I'm gonna give it, but it's gonna be higher than 'The Blair Witch Project'.

I liked this movie! The director of the film, Anders Jacobsson, who is more wellknown for the splattermovie "Evil Ed", did an excellent job when he did this creepy horror movie. I voted and gave it 9 out of 10. The only thing I miss is good acting. And this is - except from Poltergeist - the only horror movie I've ever seen in which nobody dies, and I got dissapointed on the end.And I never understood one thing - what was it they found in the forrest? Was it a fried chicken or an overlarge rotten hamburger?

Was actually quite surprised over how scary this movie is. Saw it on a Saturday afternoon and picked it off the shelf quite randomly. The dialogue is sometimes hard to follow due to lack of subtitles (saw it in Swedish), but it is really nothing like BWP. I gave BWP a 10 out of 10 and this one deserves the same rating. What it does have, that BWP lacks is a story. There is actually a plot in this film. It is really a combination of a psychological thriller and a horror movie. With some parts from both genres, which, combined, makes a really good 1 1/2 hour of entertainment. You don't want to go camping the day after, though.
