After I fast-forwarded through the boring first five minutes of the movie Paranormal Activity, it almost had me going. Almost had me asking the question: Did this really happen? Then the Ouija Board caught on fire and I knew it was all a hoax, and the movie galloped downhill the rest of the way. In fact, I started asking myself another question: Who's holding the camera? You will notice in several scenes when the camera is supposed to be on a tripod but somehow manages to follos the two residents of the house into the hall. Hmm, how did that happen? An evil spirit? Or someone else filming the whole thing?
The problem with every mockumentary I've ever seen is at some point they go a little too far and snap me back to reality. Interview with the Assassin is the best mockumentary I've ever seen. I had no idea what the movie was and believed it almost to the bitter end, but then the assassin started doing things that just didn't make sense, then I found out the movie was total fiction.
Oh, wait, there's two problems with mockumentaries. If you know you're watching one, then you absolutely cannot be fooled, unless, of course, you're an idiot, which I am sometimes, but not idiotic enough to believe a mockumentary.
