When I first saw BWP, I hated it. I thought it was the stupidest thing I have ever seen, but I loved the ending. One of the best endings I have seen in horror films and the only genuine scary moment of the whole thing.
BUT, SO many people love it and claim it to be so scary. Call it genius and what-not. I have watched it again since then and don't 'HATE' it as much, but still think it's not very good. It's gets more praise then it deserves. It wasn't the first film to do the handy-cam style that has become popular again, Cannibal Holocaust did it before and you can CLEARLY see where the makers of this film took their 'inspiration' from.
I will give it credit for it's marketing campaign though, simply brilliant.
