The Nothing

The movie is a waste of time, money and energy...the script is very bad, artists did exactly what the director asked..better listen to radio

Some pretentious loser decides to go out into the woods for a week but - to no surprise - scary stuff ensues.

Hardly an original plot for a found footage movie, but some Blair witch knockoffs in recent years have been decent, Survive The Hollow Shoals for example had some creepy scenes and an engaging one-man cast. The Nothing on the other hand, does not have an engaging lead. In Shoals the man is a Bear Grylls type man who teaches survival techniques which increasingly get harder as he finds he cannot leave. Here, however, our main man just attempts to philosophize about how a regular job isn't for him, his beautiful girlfriend is too concerned for him, blah blah blah.

Then he hears a spooky noise, talks about being scared and brings it back to him. Dear God man, just shut up!

Bad acting all around, no plot, no scares. The amount of time you should give this movie is in its title: Nothing.

They were trying to create some sort of Shakespearian "Descent into madness" theme, but these writers, my friend, are no Shakespeare. If you enjoy over an hour of a chubby guy breaking down like a wimp and crying, with the occasional interlude of "hearing things" and with literally no monster view payoff in the end, then this is your lucky day! Otherwise, avoid this garbage. It is a moralizing flop, and they did not even reward the viewer with a monster sighting. I mean, a guy in a furry monster suit would have been better than nothing!

This is actually reminiscent of "The Blair witch project" IF...You'd slashed the lousy budget of that flick in half, AND you cut out anything slightly scary or entertaining.

I lasted (read: wasted) 45 minutes before pulling the plug and that was 35 minutes to long.

If i had to justify the score of 1, it would be because the guys girlfriend was quite ok.

Simply terrible!

This movie actually made me register to IMDb. It was so unnecessary to make. Not really interested in the obviousness of how being isolated may cause stress and or anxiety. To imply nothing but insanity in itself makes this no different than every person's life should they choose it. I've watched bad movies. This just plain disappoints like no other bad movie. He wasn't a horrible actor, they were all sufficient considering the movie. Just the madness he slips into is nothing different than me for watching, just a lot less time to get there. Let's make a movie about not drinking water and how it will kill you next. Please save your time and frustration. That was similar to constipation, no matter how long you wait it sucks and the best result can only be crap.
