Yes, it is as bad as everyone says. So get your buddies together and make it a game. Take a drink of water (or something) every time...

* the camera blacks out so as not to reveal too much... uh... mundane- ness? What's the point of that again?

* the camera records "Low Light" or some other message that shouldn't be there. (Try this. Get out your old camcorder and start recording. Go into low light or low battery or some other condition that would trigger a message. Then play back the recording. What? No message? That's right because that's only for display in the viewfinder at the time of recording, not playback.)

* if you notice the camera that turns the screen green, but with no infrared illumination. Apparently it was an infrared camera without an infrared light.

* dad shows signs of denial. C'mon, the door just opened by itself.

* the kid recaps the days events without appropriate emotional response. "Le'see... my closet door opened up all by itself... I had a hot dog for lunch... oh, and someone died. What a day! I'm beat. G'night."

* you find yourself laughing at the acting. Hey, this is supposed to be scary, not funny... or is it. Is this a spoof?

* someone asks if anyone has seen anything weird, and no one mentions that three or four people died in the last three days, in separate events. Yeah that's not that weird. Accidents happen.

* you wonder who wrote the dialog. Oh, wait... it wasn't written. There was no script. It's obvious that the whole thing was made up as they went along. Or at least no one is taking credit for it if there was a script.

Please drink water responsibly. Drinking this much water could cause water poisoning.
