Oh my god. That was absolutely fantastic. I'm getting this dvd as soon as it comes out.
I can't give you a synopsis without ruining it, so take my word for it. Just go see this movie.
I think the only thing I can say safely is that it was a fantastic meta-horror like the Scream series.
Spoilers follow.
In a nutshell, there are these various organizations around the world who set up horror-movie-esque circumstances for unsuspecting groups of victims in order to sate the "Ancient Ones" and keep them asleep. Basically, they're the gods who ruled the earth long ago. If they wake up mankind is kaput.
This movie was dangerously close to being tongue-in-cheek. The only thing that held it together was the whole Ancient Ones element and the somewhat serious way /most/ of the movie was presented.
Regardless, they played so well on your classic horror tropes like "I'll be right back" and "We should split up" and of course those tried and true horror victim archetypes, even the order in which they died.
Oh man, that was awesome. I won't give anything else away, just the gist of it.
