I had some serious reservations about this film. First, I’m a tad tired of the found footage concept. I haven’t made any vow to avoid the sub-genre by any means, but I’m becoming quite a bit pickier when it comes to my “hand held” material. Regardless, the idea of telekinetic madness delivered from a “factual” (yes, I’m aware we all know where we stand at this point) point of view struck me as intriguing. I put my money where my mouth is, gave the flick a go, and got a pleasant surprise.
The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker is a documentary film that chronicles the journey of the happy-go-lucky nomad's ascent to viral stardom

Raised on a strict diet of Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Yuen Woo Ping, I was spoiled from an early age. I’ll eagerly admit to a slight(ly huge) bias for The Fight Scene. My tastes lean towards those of the fist and the foot and the knee and the elbow. More so if they are jumping and/or spinning.
A connoisseur? Likely, but I’m equally guilty of gluttony. Often I’m just as content to chow down on chasing cars, crashing choppers, spitfire ballistics and Exploding Explosions that Explode!!!"

I can name more than 5 reasons why you shouldn't.
Also the floating camera is one of the things I hated. It's such a cheating way to go about things...I think the shots from different perspectives was awesome though, just not the floating. Also none of the other things were "new" it was like wannabe Jedi's to me lol
This movie looks so bad, Kinda looks like Twilight for guys, aka instead of vampires you got superpowers.
All five aspects discussed in this article on reasons why you should see it are just five of the reasons I hated the film.
Ya know, I wanted to see this movie. Until I found out the camera was floating around, movies like the Blair Witch Project and other "found footage" style movies are instantly marked off my list.
Looked promising to me. But with that camera, I wont give it a second look.
I thought it was a good movie. Perhaps not original in style or plot, but cleverly put together imo.
