I haven't watched this movie, but to be fair, most monster/horror/zombie/etc flicks don't give explanations of the events leading up to the big monster. And if they do, it's something we've all heard before and trite - radioactive waste, aliens, etc. Most of these films will give merely two or three lines of dialogue to explain and are pretty weak explanations to begin with. Basically it's part of the genre.
Also it wasn't ripping off Blair Witch (you meant 1st person, not 3rd). There have been plenty of films shot in first person through it's entirety. Blair Witch was just the first to get recognized by today's culture. See "Lady in the Lake" (1947). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039545/
Anyhow...about the release (based on a TS):
V: 6
A: 5
M: * gonna wait for a SCR me thinks
