I just watched this on pay per view... wow.
I was always a fan of the concept of The Blaire Witch Project. It takes a lot for someone to be that convincing while completely rolling the emotion; it took a lot of improve skill. And my take on the film is in the same vein as "tighter blair witch project" but I'm not sure it was so much the fault of the actors or the editing or the film BWP itself, but the concept was just too loose. It's hard to fuck this up; your trapped on an island with the monster right in your fucking face... it's there, it's real. Nothing loose about that. I did think they showed the monster too much. Because, with Mixed, if my inner asshole can say "ok, well, if they got to her place, and he carried the camera" etc, then it's just becomes the monster being a camera whore; it was a little gratuitous for my liking. I would of just had the initial strike and that first glimpse, and perhaps seeing shots of it on screens as they pass by stores, but it became too much. The movie should of been about the aftermath, not the huge monster chasing three people endlessly.
