Summary: Not even a "FAIR WITCH PROJECT"
Review: This movie is a joke. The story line had promise, but it is so unrealistic. The campers didn't even have a good hunting knife or proper provisions. "City kids!" And what movie holds the record for saying the f-word? Don't waste your money. "Scream" looks like an Oscar winner next to this trash.

Summary: Worst Movie
Review: This was a terrible movie. It was not at all scary, and the acting was horrible. Actually, it wasn't even acting. Those kids were just filmed running around in the woods.

Summary: The only movie that ever scared me
Review: This movie was not gory, this movie was not bloody, and this movie doesn't have a conclusive ending. What makes this movie good? The reality of it. If I had just picked this up, I would say this is real. Sure they say the "F word" alot, but they're college students. What do you expect- Shakespeare? Lewis Carrol? Or even Dr. Seuss? No, these are college students. Crude in mannerisms and speech, but still have their hearts in the right place. The beginning was funny, but also crucial to the ending, which Alfred Hitchcock himself could not have done better. You never know what happened. This adds to the horror- what people are afraid of is the unexplained. To tell you the truth, the first ten minutes or so in the woods are very boring. I was about to agree with the people that this movie was "all hype, no story." But it was like the first chapter of the Hobbit- you have to get past the boring to get to the good stuff. These ten minutes is why this movie only gets a four rating instead of a five. This is the only movie that has ever really scared me. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Scream" made me jump, but never actually scared me. This movie has done what countless others couldn't do. I'm glad I own the tape because every time I see it, I find something new.

Summary: It wasn't excellent, put it was pretty good
Review: Most people don't like this movie for it's bad acting, lack of special effects, we never see the "witch," and other things. But you have to understand that they were trying to make it look realistic. It wasn't scary, but it was fun to watch. I had a couple of problems: (1)We didn't see a witch. Not even a glimpse of a foot or anything (2)The town they lived in was never known as Blair (3)At first, it made me a little upset that the creators tried to make us think it's real. But now I see the beauty of it. This got such bad reviews from people because they don't fully understand it. Whether you like this movie or not, you have to respect the creators for trying something new and unique. I'm tempted to get a copy of the DVD. I don't think it's a very good idea to make a sequel and a prequel.I can't wait for Fox to start showing Fearsum!

Summary: The DVD Project
Review: The film itself is exhilerating. I sat in the theater biting my nails in horror. I sat down with my friends to watch the VHS filled with excitement, and recently sat down to induldge myself in the DVD capabilities of the film. I was both happy and in dismay. By saying added footage or new footage I thought maybe we'd see muh more than a conversation in a tent. With the 24 houers of footage they had, couldn't they have dug up something a little more...fun. The features are dull with only the Curse of the Blair Witch. The menu itself is great withb rocks as your menu icons. I do give the directors credit, but for a film of such controversy and hype...you'd figure the DVD would be compelling. It was not. The film which has heather Donahue, Michael Williams, and Josh Leonard venture into the Burkittsville woods is probably the most tense experience I've felt since 1978's Halloween. If I was told this was real, I would very well believe it. The dialogue and acting is very real and persuading. If you buy the DVD for features, you'll be upset. You buy the DVD for the film, then that's up to you. To me, I think this DVD is worth seeing. Buying, yes. But only if you have a DVD-ROM where maybe 25 percent of the features go to. Other than that, wait till maybe a three pack of all the Blair Witch films come out.

Summary: Lordy, was I bored!
Review: Low production values, an endless amount of meandering through the woods, cheap effects...I had to keep doing housework to stay even faintly interested. Yes, I know I am unusual in not liking this film, and I do admire the pluck of the group who saw a niche in the market & filled it. But I really felt this flick was a waste of time.

Summary: Total Waste of Time!
Review: Talk about boring. This movie was a waste, there is absolutly nothing scary about this film. I can make my own movies and they can be much better. All the critics that liked this movie don't know how to rate movies at all! If you people think this movie was great, you truly don't know much about films. If you want a real scary film buy Texas Chanshaw, or the Halloween Trilogy films. I can't believe I sat threw this film, well I learned my lesson!

Summary: A frightening picture of ourselves
Review: Robert Wise's film 'The Haunting' has certainly proven that the best horror is the horror that is not seen but rather suggested. 'The Blair Witch Project' certainly does not show a lot but what it suggests is truly horrifying. This film, like 'The Haunting', uses ensemble acting, the difference being that in this film, the cast is actually made to experience the horror to some degree and therefore the film almost seems like watching 'The Survivor' telelvision program only in a haunted forrest rather than on a deserted island. What is horrifying to me is the break down of civility and onset of hatred between the cast. I believe that this process of emotional breakdown really did occur. This is where the film's true impact comes from. I don't think it was an accident that the cast members used their own names as they truly did play themselves. In that sense, 'The Blair Witch Project' shows us a rather unflattering picture of ourselves. Perhaps that is why some folks were so turned off by the film. For my money, it is one of the most frightening films I have ever seen.

Summary: "Scary as hell!"...for less than 10 minutes.
Review: Forget about seeing this movie if you want a horror flick. See a home movie with complete idiots in the cast instead of this and you can save a LOT of time and money. If there was a "0 star" rating, I would still give it 1 star, because of the horrific end to this whole mess. The ending is basically the movie, so please don't waist your money unless you really like the movie, or you are a hardcore Blair Witch believer. And if you people have DVD players, go for the DVD edition. My point is, don't go here for anymore thrills and chills than Dumbo (excluding the hellraising ending). Love it or hate it, the option to buy it is always here at Amazon.com.
