Hollow

N: Take a vacation at a old country house. It might be a nice idea until a group of friends encounter some mysterious supernatural circumstances. As this mocumentry captures the unfolding events a bewitched tree becomes the epic center of evil that begins to plague the group.
Some of the footage got me scared enough, frightened enough that I waned to crawl out of my skin. The best footage was shot at night; screams and howls echo in this ebbing darkness as the group races to find safety, but seem to find no way out.

D: Last time it was a bunch of zombie flicks. Now its the infamous "Found Footage". And apparently, trees are killers. Well, cursed trees anyways.
Four friends go on a trip...no its not a joke. They go to a lovely British country side by the sea, documenting their adventures. Like many movies about friends going out on vacation together, they play with fate when they learn of a local legend about a tree that is the center of multiple killings.
I agree with my counter part, that this actually had me a bit freaked out. It ain't no Grave Encounters, but it had its high points. Weird noises are all the more creepy than sudden loud noises. There are a few things that I learned from this movie. One; If something has been said to be cursed for centuries, don't go near it. Two; If one of your friends is a cocky jerk who goes near cursed things, leave 'em. Better them than you who gets chased by some dark spirit. And three; If near cursed trees things start getting weird, people start acting weird, and weirdness never seems to stop. Run! Run for the hills, run for the borders! Run for the exercise.
