The Nothing

Sucked, sucked, sucked!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe that I wasted my time watching this!!!!!

Long time didn't see such selfie movie. It's totally no technique but worst is what the hell is the storyline? I can only see a moron speaking himself. The nothing title match the movie. Nothing to watch there , skip !

A graduate forces a self imposed isolation in the middle of the woods to try to find himself and his creativity. With this experience he is going to finally be able to write his best seller. His (annoying) girlfriend drops him off and only she knows where he is. During the film I certainly forgot to listen to how long he was supposed to be out there, it turns out it was only 48hrs. And this is where my interest wained and I really wanted to turn it off. His girlfriend actually came up with a decent plot that she could be wiped out by a lorry on the way home and no one would know where he was. But alas this was not the case. So ill-prepared even for a brownie girl camp, our intrepid writer gets to grips with living in the 'wilderness' (if you listen closely, you can hear traffic in the background). Taken from Blair Witch but without any sense of suspense or tension, weird noises happen in the woods.

Having to suffer my own isolation due to Covid-19, with intermitent broadband and crap all on TV, I thought I would feel this guy's pain. Actually I just wanted something nasty to happen to him. I invested my time in watching the whole film, (film used extremely loosely) but I got nothing back except for characters who I wished would do us all a favour and put themselves and us out of our misery.

So desperately waiting for something exciting to happen, with all honesty it doesn't.

This is part of the 'Found Footage' Horror Genre, and it may have been better if this could have been buried and not found again.

If you've ever spent any time in the woods this movie is comedy gold. If you haven't, take my word for it this is comedy gold. An urbanite goes into the woods for 6 days for inspiration to write a "great novel". He hears noises. He gets scared. He runs and screams. A lot. Oh, his girlfriend thinks this is a horrible idea. She's the only smart character in this preposterously inane script. We get the requisite "is anyone there?" yells, the random talk to the camera scenes, the "how the hell are those batteries lasting so long?" thoughts, and of course, the quotation of scripture (yep) from a character who made no mention of religion previously. This is pretty lousy. It gets two stars for being unintentionally hilarious.

PS: Spoilers??? What is there to spoil??? Take this man's camera. Forever.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because some of the woods in the dark parts are scary. I suggest you start the film at 34 minutes and stop it at an hour at ten minutes.
