Freaktana A Major Disappointment

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

woodsmanrb I live about forty miles from Bloomington Il. and I remember this being on the news, one review states that this should have been shown on The Sci-Fi channel I disagree, the facts are there and it being a docudrama made it more entertaining, the fact is this happened and it is fact that a new species of hominid was discovered along with an owl species thought to be extinct, the whole reason why they were there.

jmeggers I enjoyed this movie. I actually found it similar to The Blair Witch Project, but better overall. It presents the story of scientists in an Indonesian jungle, looking for a believed extinct species of bird, and stumbling onto something much more sinister. Yes, I understand the comments that "this isn't what I expect from Animal Planet" and maybe there's a better way for AP to let viewers know this is not a serious documentary about animals. But take it for what it is -- entertainment.

nitrogenium1 I just wasted 2 precious hours to go to a great Saturday evening because this thing was on, and it was quite intriguing, so I stayed at home.Then, at the end of the film, they said that it is all fiction.Why?Why did you waste my time? Why? I was wondering why a seeming fascinating documentary like this was not on National Geographic, and only after the thing ended, they say that it is not actually real.Why do you play fairy tales on a documentary channel?

simonxlong This fake documentary-drama was pretty entertaining and did a good job of capturing the feel of a "real" documentary. It provided just enough factual information to lay the ground work for an entertaining, if somewhat predictable, storyline, and it didn't become overly cheesy along the way. Tension was built up fairly well and it was believable that the characters could have been real people.Unfortunately, it aired on Animal Planet, which is a horrible fit for a fictional story about "undiscovered primates." This should have been on SyFy or some other appropriate network, where viewers could clearly understand that it was fiction and just sit back and enjoy a decent attempt at suspense. For a network which is supposed to deal with real animals and real documentary material, Animal Planet seems to be following the path of History as it falls further and further from its original mission.
