Surprisingly good movie. It starts off a bit slow, but it builds up.
I really liked it, even with its first person recording. The entire movie is "footage", which usually annoys me since all the fake "footage" found movies litter the theater. This brings up memories of sex lies and videotape - no, not any sex or discriptions like that, but the more personal emotion being conveyed by the up front shooting and not some jerky horror movie where you cannot see a thing happening. One can believe the filming, (superpower part aside) the emotion and why it is being filmed. An emotionally desparate teenager tries to find meaning in his life by filming everything.

It goes to prove that absolute power can corrupt absolutely, and how dangerous and unstable the teenage brain can be. There can be nothing scarier than an emotionally unstable teenager with superpowers.
