Summary: WORST HORROR FILM EVER HANDS DOWN
Review: The Blair Witch Project (1999)The Blair Witch Project is a mind numbingly awful movie that's an insult to both the horror genre and horror fans worldwide. The story is original.Three student film makers get lost in the woods while shooting a Documentry about a local myth called "The Blair Witch".Their footage is found the next year, revealing the "horrifying truth". I was looking forward to this movie when it first came out. I didn't get a very good chance to see it at the Local Cinema and rentals were taken,so I waited for it to appear on Television.It premeired several days ago.I realized that after viewing it I hadn't missed a thing.It's the worst horror film I've ever seen in my entire life. The photography is without a doubt the worst I've ever seen,and I'm sure you'll agree too.Half the time I didn't have a single clue of what was going on.There's way too much comotion and the angles are way too fast. Besides having incredibly terrible photography,Blair Witch has uniformly horrible acting.Every character present is strictly zero-dimensional,and the three film-making students are REALLY irritating,and that is saying A LOT.Trust me.it is. The direction from Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez is just plain bad.These men are an insult to REAL horror mavens,like Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street,Scream),Don Coscarelli (Phantasm) and John Carpenter (Halloween,The Thing [1982 remake] ). In short: This is undoubtably the worst horror film I've ever seen.Not a single thing was good about it.Please don't listen to the good reviews it's gotten.Do yourself a fovor and rent a REAL horror movie,like Phantasm & Halloween.Trust me.I'm telling you the truth.

Summary: This movie is .............
Review: The thing that irrated me the most about this movie ( besides the shaking camera) is that they made it seem like it was the actual footage that was found in the woods. Thats what brought the attention to the movie in the first place. Then later they tell us that this was a remake w/actors. The makers did not deserve one bit of the money they made. Especially with a budget of what seemed like 300 dollars for the camera they used. If I could rate this a zero I would have.

Summary: Pretty scary
Review: I really did enjoy this movie. At first it was kinda boring, and I thought that it was gonna end up being a waste of time, but as the movie progressed and "weird" things started to happen and the kids started freaking out, it got pretty freaky. The only things that I have to complain about is the constant use of the "f" word (that word can get pretty damn annoying when it's said in every sentence) and the girl. She really bothered me. The whole bouncing of the camera didn't bother me at all. I thought it made the movie seem more real. People who complain about that should have known what they were gonna see, since the previews showed clear as day that the camera was gonna bounce.

Summary: FLUKE!
Review: This movie really got lucky. With all the bashing it's gotten from disappointed viewers who spent almost $8 a ticket to see it in theaters, it only proves that spreading the word is the way to sell. Get one person to tell ten people its good and you've got a following that will remain a following until the credits roll. The most amazing thing about this movie is that it was made on such a LOW budget and grossed far beyond its expenses. Call it luck, call it destiny (whether a travesty like this makes you believe in destiny), but Eduardo Sanchez must've built his karma over the years to experience such an unrealized and unexpected success with his simplistic but nonetheless original approach. Everyone believed Blair Witch's premise was based on a true story, no matter how loosely. They were all fooled, myself included at one point, and it's still being passed off that way, making many who haven't seen it continue to wonder. This is a director's gleeful and infinite tease to its audience because, like talk, it will draw people in and drive them to spend more money. As for people continuing to shout, "Don't believe the hype!", you're wasting your precious breath. Why ask other people to save their money? They are what keeps the entertainment industry afloat. Beseeching the general public to pinch their pennies is pure insanity. You wouldn't have listened either because you want to form your own opinion. Let everyone else do so. As for me, the only part I enjoyed about Blair Witch was the marketing scheme and the believability of the actors' terror. That's what made it for me. But then again, that's only my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt and rent or purchase at your leisure...

Summary: What is this...?
Review: Really... What in the world is this? Is it a horror movie? Not likely! Is it any kind of movie? ...Perhaps... If we can be really modern thinkers... Is it a ...good kind of "movie"? No way! I'm not going to even comment on the camera-shakiness (okay, maybe a little)! Even I can shoot better with my HandyCam! What? That was their intention, to be shaky and all? Then I like this "movie" even less! Anyway, the plot is very loose, moves sooo slow, bores you to death ("are we lost? maybe! no we're not lost! oh yes we're lost!")! And what do the makers define as scary? I watched that in plain darkness, alone in my house, and I got sleepy! Sure, some... thing is hunting them, they're finding strange... piles of rocks and stuff, but that only scares them (we assume)! There's no frightening scene for the viewer! And as we'd expect after all that, the ending offers no improvement. Overall, I'm so glad I could correct my foolishness of bying this DVD without having seen it (!), by selling it to a friend of mine for roughly the same price!

Summary: The only thing great about this is the marketing
Review: Not terrible, just tedious. Since we all know that this is not cinema verite, is it cinema at all? The rough camera work and improvised dialogue are dull and repetitious. The "supernatural" doings are contrived and amateurish. What's more, for such a disingenuous project, there's no sense of humor. That's probably the most deadly thing about "The Blair Witch Project". As far as being hailed for its lack of special effects--well, Val Lewton had that nailed fifty years ago. I'd never thought I'd say this--but if this is the best work than can be accomplished on a low budget, give me James Cameron.

Summary: Controversial, not due to content but marketing....
Review: The hype on this movie was incredible. When this movie played at Cannes, it was said that people were throwing up and running out of the theatre. Artisan Pictures (who bought the rights to the movie) announced it was due to the fact that it was sooooo scary. Having watched the film, I think maybe because it was because the film was soooo shaky.... Anyway, this movie is very good in it's setup. Three college kids, led by Heather, are making a documentary for a class project. They want to do a documentary on the Blair Witch Curse and on a cold, sunny weekend,grab their stuff and head to Blair, Maryland. After getting background information, they decide to head off into the woods and find the home of the Blair Witch. They begin to lose their way, and their sanity as they begin to hear indescribable noises late at night and become paranoid, blaming each other for the mess they have gotten themselves into. The movie concludes with them finding an old abadoned house and ends with their demise when they finally get to meet (speculated) the Blair Witch herself. This of course is not a spoiler, because the premise of the movie is that we see the demise of the students based on the cans of film that were found in the woods a year later. The cinema verite style of this movie is refreshing and the grainy film stock is a departure from all those slick horror movies that tend to show you everything ahead of time and leave you with no imagination that have been released in the 1990's and 2000. Most of the fear WILL be based on your imagination and if you lack one, then this movie will be downright boring. Many people did not like the movie on this premise alone. However, since I have a very active imagination, my heart beat did rise above it's usual 70 BPM on a few occasions. The characters were all believable as film students and act very naturally. I don't know if this is because they ACTUALLY were amateurs and were just being themselves or because they are GOOD actors. Heather Donohue does a very good job as the self-confident team leader who breaks down by the end of the movie. The only complaint that I had was that the movie was becoming a little repetitive by the 4th act and that the low budget of the movie creates this "home video" quality that I will never fully recommend anything more than 3 stars for. However, for a cheap thrill that out of the ordinary, try this one out. For me, it was worth buying used, but I don't know if I could spend the money to buy this new....Rating: C+
