Warning: Spoilers
I have just watched this movie, and I am not quite sure what to say about it. It seemed interesting enough, although I did think it was about werewolves. It was not. It was about the devil. To be quite honest, I was confused throughout the entire movie...and I'm not easily confused. The people I watched it with did not even know what was going on, and we were not even drinking yet. To continue, the movie begins with a guy, Jake, I suppose, in the woods hunting. It continues on with Jake admitting that he has "daymares," or, scary dreams in the day time. After he admits that, no one is really sure if he is committing the crimes or if he is just insane. His friends, victims of the devil's possession, were scary before they were even touched by the devil. The whole point of this movie was to prove that the devil can get into the internet and spread his word. Quote from the movie, "Imagine if Hitler had the internet." Yeah, it's like that.

However, the scariest part of the movie is the oh-so-obvious Oepidus complex at the end of the movie. Jake finds out that his lover, Marisol, is really his mother. The movie ends with the police finding Jake surrounded by bodies and a mouth full of blood. The ending question that Jake's voice-over asks makes the audience even more confused. There is no real resolution as he is placed in the back of a police jeep.

This movie was not that good... unless you want to have a good laugh.
