Also I think what is scary about this movie is that witches exist and woods exist Witches + woods = scary No witches. Plenty of woods, though.

It is the characters arguing that makes the tension, yes they are annoying but lots of people can be annoying. Ppl get moody and irritating and they say stupid things, and they were lost and cold and hungry, that is what happens. they were normal ppl and you get watch their minds explode with fear. Is v good Also they get lost in woods because supernatural events are influencing then Yes, it's true, people can be annoying and irritating, and they sometimes say stupid things...but to NEVER DROP THE CAMERA during these emotional tirades immediately takes us out of the drama and makes us think, "this is a movie." Nobody in real life would freak out like those characters and still be filming. Just wouldn't happen. I have to agree there. I have heard the argument that being filmed with handcam by amateurs (well officially they were still actors who got paid for the job) and that much was improvised as there was not much of a script (it wouldn't suprise me as there is not much that happens), which would make it more realistic. But yeah when in panic I don't think one would keep filming, drop the camera and get the hell outta there I would do. Clearly she was instructed to keep filming. This argument might have worked in 1999 when found footage it was still some kind of novelty, nowadays more of a gimmick IMO. However in the end it's still a movie, fictional, people are instructed to do certain actions, say certain lines, react in some way. Some reactions might be honest yeah. The movie might have been improvised a lot when filming but I think all actors just did what they were instructed to. That one guy didn't decide himself to throw away the map, the cameragirl also didn't chosoe to keep filming the bloody remains of her dead friend, nor did she decide herself to pretend to be shocked going in circles.
