Summary: Not just another shallow, slasher flick!
Review: If you have to rely on blown-up special effects, blood and gore, then you aren't going to get this movie and don't need to waste your time. But for the true movie fan with a healthy and active imagination, this is easily one of the scariest movies ever made. It totally relies on the element of the unknown and it taps into the deep, dark fears of your childhhood. Afraid of the dark when you were a kid? Then this is your movie. Again, if you have to have multi-million dollar, hyped-out special effects, then you won't get this. But if you want a classic film that is in it's purest form, this is one of the greatest spook flicks ever made.

Summary: All Hype !!!
Review: I thought the concept of this movie was a good idea, but it was very poorly executed. Scary?, not by a long shot, pretty hilarious though, my wife and I laughed throughout most of the movie. The ending was a disapointment. Did I get it, of course I got it. Am I a slasher movie type, NO. Although I would recommend Scream. The idea behind the movie was scary, the movie was not. Would have made a better book. For anyone who thinks this a true story, please. You really need to get a life. If you really want to see a good horror flick, try The Shining, Pet Cemetary or The Exorcist.

Review: I will just say this: To the many people who detracted this movie, you either do not appreciate a good movie when you see it, or you had a completely wrong idea of what The Blair Witch Project was about. I could compare it even to a very well-known (and equally hated) book: William Golding's "Lord of the Flies." That book deals with kids left on their own on an island without parental/adult supervision of any kind. Soon, they begin losing their civility and become more and more like animals. The Blair Witch Project is an excellent film in the fact that it goes gradually exposing the feelings and fears of the characters in a very raw and brutal way. They are lost in the middle of the woods and there is "something" out there stalking them, taking it's time...feeding on their fear. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez had a fantastic idea, and this is one of the most original- as well as effective- films I have ever seen. Certainly it will soon be a part of my video collection!

Summary: This movie is the most original movie i've seen in ages
Review: Even though it dose drag on at some parts of the movie the night scenes are very diffrent. The movie was not the scariest movie i've ever seen but it definitly messes with your head. The end alone just leaves you thinking as soon as the credits hit. Definitly one of the best movies of the year. I can definitly agree with this one getting some awards at the oscars next year. Dont miss this one. And to all you dumbys that just didnt get it i dont know what planet your living on but you just dont know good original entertainment when you see it!!!!

Summary: The Blair Witch Project - Double Digit IQs Need Not Apply.
Review: This is a movie I can and will watch an unlimited number of times without ever losing my initial impression of it. I must be one of the most jaded and hard to scare individuals around, as evidenced by my tendency to be the only guy on the floor laughing during EVERY horror movie I've seen; Every one that is, except the Exorcist, The Shining, and The Blair Witch Project.This is for the dim-witted; my last statement does not invite comparision between the movies mentioned. Why? Because they can't be compared. Three different eras, three different premises, three different styles. Stop trying to post this movie on somebody's all-time list. There are a few other things you should probably stop doing. Stop whining about the jerky video. Most of us aren't rock solid when running with cameras; I guess you'd be the exception, right? Try taking off your foot thick glasses and then watching the movie. Also, stop whining about not seeing the ghost. This pathetic need of yours to locate everthing visually is a direct result of your equally pathetic ID4 worshipping MTV idolizing, 17-hour per day TV watching brain dead personna. You don't even realize what an imagination is thanks to CG, you don't realize you used to have one, and you probably can't spell it either. If you truly understood what the hell you were looking at when you saw the Shining (if you were old enough to get in), you'd realize that Kubrick wasn't going for cheap shock value. It was the clarity of sound, or lack of it. It was what you saw out of the corner of your eye that your mind tells you shouldn't have been there. It was KNOWING that the Torrances were the only people in the hotel, and then watching Wendy come around a corner to see two costumed party goers engaged in curious activity in one of the bedrooms. No Alien-style poppycock. Just masterful construction of profound unease. Additionally, you can shut up about Heather Donahue screaming. You see, Heather had an imagination (there's that damned word again), and when she used it during the film both as an actor and as the character, what she came up with made her scream. That's what fear tends to do, especially when you can't pinpoint it's cause. Of course, you wouldn't know about that would you? In those situations, you just call a cop or tell the teacher, right? Figures... By the way. Are you still pissed because the website said this was a true story? What a clown you are. But then I expect that, because TV has trained you to believe everything you see and hear, and it never occurs to you to research anything, does it? If you had, you could have found out on the Artisan website the first week this previewed that the so-called missing students were all in attendance at at least one of the pre-release viewings. Why is your whole world shattered by the fictional nature of this film? Oh I know..."They lied to us man! They f**kin lied to us!" To sum up, my dense target readers, the next time you want to tell the world that a group of Marketing staff, actors, and TRUE admirers of cinema are all idiots worshipping a poorly made production, impress us all first by reading a book cover to cover and then summing it up without seeing the music video. Or by seeing and walking at the same time. Or by not spending $300-$5000 on a Tickle-Me-Elmo type toy just because your spoiled kid demands it, everyone's doing it, and the MEGA-HYPE coming out of the TV says you have to get it. Or perhaps you could make your own movie on 16mm film running through woods with your rock-steady camera, and dynamically ad-libbing an hour and a half of dialog and raw reactions to stuff you didn't even know about. Probably not, huh. If it was a hit, you wouldn't be able to IMAGINE what could be done with all that money.

Summary: Don't go into the woods...ever!!!
Review: For those who like to let their imagination run wild, this is for you! Excellent idea for a horror movie, normal people in a scary situation! I'll never go on a camping trip again! I loved it! And not knowing what's out there...that's the best part! But if you're one who has to have "closure" in a movie, this one might not be for you....

Summary: This movie stinks
Review: Okay people if you thought this movie was scary, you are just a whimp. I look at it that way. I mean come on, it made you sick, it had no plot to it, it just sucked. To me the movie was funny. I give it that, but not scary, all that mess about that it was scary, bull. I think a movie that is scary if they filmed a ritual going on or something out of the ordinay, they didn't even show the which, and actors could not act at all. But to conclude this i have to say, they should have put more time and effort to this movie. To tell you the truth people i give this movie no stars, i don't think it deserves a star, but i have to fill that part out so my comment can be shown.

Summary: what a joke.
Review: over-rated garbage. one star each for the two guys who made the film and cashed in BIG TIME on this trash.

Summary: Great technique, less than great plot.
Review: Don't get me wrong...I did enjoy the Blair Witch Project, but NO film with that much hype ever lives up to the expectations. I do believe we were mislead as to the scariness of the film, but it did suceed in freaking me out on occasion. I think people who put down this film don't appreciate the technique (not to mention the genius behind the marketing), but I can understand their disappointment if they're comparing it to something like Friday the 13th. I think I enjoyed reading about the making of the film more than the actual film itself, but if you're into movies that mess with your mind, you should enjoy this one. The ending had one of those affects that didn't set in until much later...the more I thought about it, the scarier it got. Kudos to the director and our three stars...it was a nice break from your typical slasher film.
