Massively overrated low budget horror which became a huge success thanks to clever internet marketing and hype. A group of students go into the woods to investigate local legends about a witch who is supposed to live there. The film is presented as though the footage was shot by the three students and found later. While there are a number of creepy ideas here there isn't much in the way of plot and the film asks a lot of the amateur actors. Ultimately very little happens here beyond the endless shaky camera shots and everything that does happen is shrouded in mystery.
