I'm assuming from Yoshi's comment that there is a lot of footage of tile flooring because he forgot to turn the recording off. I think we had at least an hour of floor pass by the lens throughout Nebraska. Ah... good times. And the shaky camera isn't what made me sick watching Blair Witch. What made me sick was the pathetic writing, the half-baked story, the characters that made me wish they would die quicker and the waste of a couple hours that could have been better spent learning to do accupuncture on myself with knitting needles.

I didn't think of it as a scary movie really, but more like an action movie with a monster. If you saw my post about it, I thought of it more as a love story that had a big ass monster in it. There are quite a few scenes with some terror factor in it. All I can say is, you'll be watching the movie, thinking I'm the one who shot a lot of it. (think of the omaha trip and the awesome camera work I did there. LOL) No, seriously if you got sick watching Blair witch, it might be better to wait till you can watch it on the tv instead, since you won't get nauseous that way.

However, your assessment is correct -- there is not very much to see of the monster as most of the film focuses on survival of the main characters. I won't say more than that because I don't want to ruin it for you. The shaky handycam view didn't bother me at all. In fact, I think it added to the intensity of the movie. My wife, however, started to get nauseous. I saw Cloverfield and thought it was great.
