The Blair Witch Project

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: This movie intentionally had absolutely horrible dialogue. It was probably an experimental film. The experiment either failed or succeeded depending on what the guidelines were. If the guidelines were to create much buzz and make millions upon millions of dollars then it was a success. If the guidelines were to make an entertaining/scary movie experience then they failed miserably. This movie is the worst movie that I have ever seen. Not once was I frightened. I was angry that I spent the 85 minutes watching it. The only good thing about this movie is that it is extremly short.

Summary: The self-propelling black hole project: Lets get this right
Review: When the Blair Witch Project was first released in theaters, it seemed to be all that any one was talking about. For a while, people went to see it and left without really knowing what they just saw, and passed along what they thought was going on. In the end, massive amounts of people went to see the movie to find out the truth, and the truth is this: the blair witch project is a fake documentary made by a group of improvising actors filming themselves and led on by a group of directors lingering about but never coming face-to-face with the characters. The reason why the story confused people is because there was no story, and if an explanation ever does come out, it was written after the movie was filmed. Basically the movie had no plot, completely flat characters, no theme, no moral, no backround, no conflict and no conclusion. In fact the majority of the film is a group of confused people wandering around in the woods with a camera and NOTHING happening. Althouth the concept was interesting on paper as an artistic experiment, it was not a satisfactory film and in practice I would never suggest purchasing this film. Watch it if you are intrigued, but by the third time you see it you'll be ready to shoot yourself!

Summary: The "We're RICH!" Project
Review: I held out for a year...arms folded, chin thrust heavenward in true film elitist fashion--but alas(now that it's on cable!), I finally caved! It would have been presumptuous of me to dismiss this as an over-hyped movie with 75 minutes of typical whiney Gen-X indie film navel-gazing and 10 minutes of truly horrific suspense without even screening it first, but that would be cheating. So now that I've watched it, I can tell you with confidence that its basically an over-hyped movie with 75 minutes of typical whiney Gen-X indie film navel-gazing with about 10 minutes of truly horrific suspense. But those 10 minutes contain some of the most truly unnerving moments in horror filmdom. The "trick" here is that the viewer's "scare" factor depends on whatever personal baggage they bring with them--a device that has served directors like Roman Polanski very well in the past.

Summary: Not EVEN Entertaining
Review: This movie lacks everything, from good acting to a well developed script. The plot is by now very well known, however this moview is neither scary nor entertaining. It is impossible to feel what is on screen is actually occurring (or did occur) hence making it jsut as impossible to be scared by the movie. As a horror movie it failed me. The script and acting are so bad, that watching BWP is worse than having to read a dreadful novel for your high school english class....the first 20 minutes or so of the movie are unbearable, worse than bad documentary. Well, I for one did not appreaciate this movie, but I can only speak for myself.

Summary: I wish I could go into the negatives for stars
Review: For my wife and I to go to the movies we need to arrange for a sitter for the kids and that is usually my mother. We don't ask often and therefore make the most of our movie time. Simply put we want those two hours back! This was horrible. I couldn't wait for them to start dying. I love horror movies when the audience can't see the cause of the terror, but this did not instill any fear. We found ourselves annoyed at the obnoxious characters, the terrible camera work and a painfully weak story. The only thing this movie proved is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to waste money. I can't believe this scared anyone and I question those that it did. My prayers are with you.

Summary: Unique... great concept...
Review: ... however, I feel that it fell short of the image that the film's terrific marketing portrayed. The movie started out really strong... the ending was *very* impressive. Unfortunately, everything in the middle left a lot to be desired. A lot of it just didn't seem believable. Also, I think it would have worked out a lot better had the actors been able to improvise three words without one of them being a particular expletive. Let's face it... if I used the word "Pineapple" in this review, as many times as they used that interjection in that film, the word "Pineapple" would probably annoy you quite a bit. As horror movies go, this one was definitely a refreshing change from the computer-animation and special effect-saturated "horror" films that have been released in the past few years. Although it didn't really scare me, it did register about a 7 on the 1-10 creepiness scale. It might make me think twice about camping in the middle of supposedly haunted woods without any communication devices (perhaps a cell phone would have really saved those kids a lot of grief?). Certainly worth checking out, but glad I didn't pay to see it in a theater. Five stars to whoever did the marketing, though.

Summary: I thought Grade B movies went out in the 1940's
Review: This was a very sad excuse for a horror story or even an entertaining movie, During the 1930's and 40's a whole bunch of low buget so called horror movies were made, they were terrible but in an era without TV kids enjoyed them. Today with some real entertaining movies out there this fails to meet even the Grade B's of yester year

Summary: Disgusting and Disappointing
Review: There's not too many words that I can say to describe this movie except. "I hate it, I hate it, I hate it" ! All the hype was misleading. I was happy to see I wasn't the only person to think this is movie was a huge disappointment. I can't even give it away.

Summary: "Biggest Hype of 1999" coincides with "Worst Movie"
Review: Let's keep it simple. The plot? Three obnoxious kids go into the woods and - nothing happens. Nothing whatsoever. Zip, nil, doo-dah. For roughly an hour and a half you wait for something interesting to appear on the screen. Does anything ever occur? Nope. Oops, my mistake - the kids fight a lot. What's to like about this movie? Nothing. What's to see? Nothing. What's to be afraid of? That people actually thought this was a movie worth giving up money for. What's to be terrified of? There's a sequel planned. This review actually gives you more plot than the movie had. This movie would never have been made 20 years ago, but studios weren't as desperate then. Leave your brain at the door if you plan to see this thing.
