I just saw this the past weekend at a midnight showing in the Rosedale AMC in Minneapolis. So far I think it's only showing in select theaters (maybe a dozen or so) in the US.
I'd have to say that the movie is truly frightening although the experienced reader of high strangeness accounts will pick up on the excessive nature of some scenes and especially the ending. Like many other people are saying, this one does remind one of the Blair Witch Project in many ways. It is a "mockumentary", so one is given the impression that the filming is all done through the lens of this couple's digital video recorder.
There was one scene in the movie with a Ouija board where they supposedly leave the camera on the board after they left the house for some reason. Well, the planchet started to move all by itself, criss-crossing the board and then a fire spontaneously broke out on top of the board! A little bit over the top, me thinks! I'm sure this will continue to further the misinformation about Ouija boards in general, sadly.
