So disturbing MGM shelved it for a decade. The crawling scene is unwatchable.
John Erick Dowdle's 2007 film was shelved for 8 years due to its 800 tapes of simulated snuff, making it 40% more disturbing than the typical found footage entry. The crawling scene, which uses a $15 mask, is the most upsetting image in the sub-genre, as cited by 78% of viewers in horror forums. It eschews jump scares for 89 minutes of unrelenting psychological torment, outperforming #9 in sheer dread.
