While it's true found footage has been done to death (pun intended) this latecomer has to be one of the scariest I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em all. "Godforsaken" is a terrifying little gem out of the Great White North, and proof Canada can produce some scary stuff. After a delightfully disturbing start, it heads out in a completely unexpected direction, gradually building up to a terrifying final 20 minutes or so that is absolutely relentless and had me muting my television and (I'll admit it) covering my eyes more than once. After "28 Days Later" rewrote the rules, I'm completely surprised someone was able to add yet another layer to zombie lore. The writing was a very good, though sometimes the characters would do something that left me wondering if in their particular universe zombie movies don't exist. But anyway, the acting was substantially better than something with a budget this small had any right to be - no little thing when it comes to "watch-ability," if that's a word. Anyway - definitely worth a look if you're in the market for something different that just might scare the pants off of you.
