Summary: Blair Witch
Review: I just watched the Blair Witch Project. All I can say is, "That's a waste of [thousands of] dollars." The plot line follows 3 college students going into the forest in Burkittsville, MD to film a piece on the supposed "blair witch." Many people I spoke to said they couldnt sleep for days, blah blah blah. The ending parts did spook me out, but some parts were just ridiculous. If I got any lesson from this film, it would be:
Bad things happen to those who say [some words]too much.

Summary: Scariest thriller ever.....
Review: This movie creeped me out. There was no Michael Myers or Jason, and that is what was so awesome. You never really know what's there, you never quite see what's happening, but the anticipation builds. The creepy house just like the one that's in everybody's home town....the freaky little hand prints...the voices from nowhere.... It builds slow, and your freaked out before you know it. I wish I'd never seen it, so I could watch it again for the first time. Buy this movie.

Summary: One of the most innovative horror movies I've seen
Review: I thought this was one of the most innovative ways to make a horror flick. With so many of horror movies trying to scare you so much by showing you everything that makes you feel uncomfortable, I give credit to a movie that shows that it is what you don't see that makes your blood tingle and your fear rise.
The documentary approach was great. It made the story seem real, unlike so many movies that rely on these overdone special effects and gimmicks to scare the audience. I think that when a person goes to see a scary movie, he or she needs to feel uncomfortable; this is what this movie did. Much of the panic that the audience feels is from the dialogue and helpless situation of the 3 people out in the woods. You get a first hand view of the problems, and the terror that maybe something is actually after them. I think that most moviegoers have been lulled into believing that special effects and blood is scary; this movie proves that a story does not have to "wow" you to make you feel scared. Any movie that can make you feel uncomfortable to walk alone at night for awhile is a scary movie that did its job. Great movie that I definitely recommend for any horror fans out there.

Summary: looking for something off the beaten path?
Review: Love it or hate it, the Blair Witch Project stirred up so much attention that is has become a success. Never before has a movie like this been made and i for one, am hoping to see more movies near this origional in the future. Since the film is supposed to be the footage found from three lost film makers, it is all shot with hand held cameras and is at times very shakey. this caused a bit of motion sickness for a few of my friends but i was just fine. I think the idea of no script and no camera guys filming the action was absolutly brilliant. Since the three people who disappeared are filming everything from their persepctive you see what they see and hear what they hear. it is truly a chilling thing. In reality, the three were sent out into the woods and messed with by the director and his crew. While flipping through a magazine i read an article about the movie and an interview from Heather Donahue. She said that the fear we saw was real. they were stalked by the director and even though they knew it was only fake they couldnt help but be a bit freaked when they were woken up by something beating against their tent and then chasing them through a dark forest. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, check out this film. it is truly chilling.

Summary: Great, considering what few resources they made it from.
Review: This movie was very unique in how it was made to appear like it was all home video. There were really only 3 characters in the whole movie, and the set was just the woods. In fact, we never even saw the Blair Witch or any special effects at all. If all movies were like this, it would get boring real fast, but because they're not, this is a one-of-a- kinder. It is also impressive how resourceful the movie was, on such a tiny budget yet making so much money in the theaters. I kept waiting to see the witch face to face and what she would do to the kids. But it is what we can't see that is the scariest. The three get lost in the woods just when someone seems to be messing with their minds at night. It gets scarier and one of them disappears in the night without a trace, all his things left behind. They later hear him screaming in the night but don't find him until they discover an old beat up abandoned house. Just then, they seem to disappear or drop dead or something, because we were viewing what they were viewing through the cameras they had rolling, which dropped to the floor. Abrupt, yet good, and definitely scary ending. So what is the Blair Witch, anyway? We really have no clue, other than it exists and that it is not advisable to go into those woods at night.

Summary: This movie is the pits!
Review: This movie is the pits! Blair Witch 2 was okay but this one is dumb! And it is susposed to be true but It is NOT! It is boring! I will tell you the worst thing about it in the end. There is way too much blace+white color in it for a 1999 movie! And the worst thing about it is the acting! Heather D, Josh L and Michael are all the worst actors! This movie is as cheesy as a bad B-Movie like Ginger Snaps! This mive won't give the wigens or goosebumps it will make you laugh until you lose your breath!

Summary: Only Scary if Your Want to Be Scared
Review: "The Blair Witch Project" is certainly not the worst of movies that I have seen; it's nowhere near the top of the list of the movies that I disliked. I think that the main reason did not like this film is because of the way that it was shot. The film was produced as a documentary to give the viewer a feel that what is going on the story actually happened. In fact, the movie is supposed to be a tape that was found by the documenters. I'll get into the plot, which involves the documenters in a little bit. If you get sick or naseous from watching something that seems to be all over the place then this film is not for you. There is no control over the camera as it wobbles.; but all of this was done so the feel of the film would be more realistic. And it worked, as a matter of fact. The plot is very, very simple but is not that great. A group of teenagers wander off into the woods for a search of a mythical witch for a project. The movie documents the travels of the teens, the documenters, through the woods and this is what you will be watching for the running time of the film until the climax. This film is not scary unless your mind easily scares yourself. In the movie you see absolutely nothing that is scary; you don't even see the Blair Witch. Any horror will not be triggered by scary images but by your mind processing certain clues as to what is happening. If your mind does this then you will be very scared. If not, you'll have a good time laughing throughout the movie. Why did I give the movie just two stars? I didn't like the documentary type feel in the production of the movie and the acting was not all that great. If this film had a bigger budget, better acting talent, and a plot that was a bit more believable then this movie would probably be one of the biggest horor movies ever produced. Unfortunately, none of the above was put into effect. Happy Viewing!

Summary: Some Like it Some Don't
Review: Everyone I've spoken with about this movie had only one reponse or another. They either loved it or they hated it. It either scared them or it didn't. Doesn't seem like there is an in between. Well my opinion is an in between opinion. The Blair Witch Project is a different movie to say the least. It's unique in that we never see the killer or demon that is supposedly causing all the mayhem and destruction. The movie about 3 young adults doing film research on the legend of the Blair Witch. The research takes them deep into the woods in the middle of nowhere. As they get closer to their goal they begin to hear voices and noises in the middle of the night. When things get too creepy they decide it's best to go home. At that point, however, they realize that the map showing them the way home has disappeared. That part of the movie was actually pretty funny. From there the movie takes off and has a decent ending, but I've seen better.
The movie isn't really all that scary but if you let your mind wander, just let it slip into the movie, and make yourself believe that it is a real story and that was you in the woods lost with some unknown demon after you it could give you some chills. Hey it worked for me. The acting wasn't academy award worthy by any means but the actors give believable performances in portraying their characters. I do believe that The Blair Witch Project would've gotten better reviews if it weren't for all the hype and hoopla that surrounded the movie. Any movie would have a hard time living up to that. Check out The Blair Witch Project and see what you think.

Summary: About as scary as a leafless branch.
Review: I saw 'The Blair Witch Project' on opening day in the summer of 1999. The theatre was packed because so much unnecessary hype surrounded the movie. Many people were stupid enough to believe it was real story. Never underestimate the power of marketing. The theatre was packed and what we got for our seven dollars was two hours of twigs, stick figures made out of twigs, and some of the loudest screaming I've heard since watching a clip of a Backstreet Boys concert. Part of this movie are supposed to tense and scary, but I couldn't see what the hoopola was about. At nighttime, the characters hear some suspicious noise in the forest and they start getting scared. I guess these guys have never been camping before. Then there is the "famous" ending. Be prepared with some earplugs.
