Summary: A clever gimmick cannot save this pathetic mess
Review: When I went to the theatre to see this film, I was very excited. The only things I had heard about the film (other than the story's basic premise) were, first, that you don't see anything and, second, that it was scary. These are two of the best ingredients in making a good horror film. However, I was incredibly disappointed with the results. Not only do you not see anything, you don't FEEL anything-other than boredom. The first time I checked my watch, I thought that it had been going for at least half an hour. However, much to my dismay, only ten minutes had elapsed. By the end of the film, I was only too glad that the characters were dead because I could finally go home.The responsibility of this film's failure doesn't lie with the premise itself, but with its execution. Rather than a descent into raw terror, this film felt like a bad (as if there's any other kind) ninety minute episode of...THE REAL WORLD, only worse-much worse. There isn't enough background information given about the Blair Witch to even know for what they are looking when they get lost in the woods, so instead of being a search gone wrong, it comes off as nothing more than the aimless wanderings of three city kids who haven't a clue about how to manoeuvre through the woods. As a result, the film has no focus to drive it forward other than the argumentative whinings of three self-obsessed college film students. Because there is very little given about what is supposed to make the Blair Witch such a frightening phenomenon, the tactics used to frighten the film students sounds like nothing more than silly pranks of teenagers from the next camp. No matter how lost a person is, piles of rocks and a group of large stick figures (one of which has become the main logo of the film) do not incite mind-altering fear. The nighttime assaults aren't any more impressive. They sound like nothing more than deer wandering near the campsite. Hardly the stuff of nightmares. Again, how does any of this stuff connect with the Blair Witch? Also, the three students' deaths are not related to the insufficient material on the witch herself but to other legends of the woods. One last main weakness of this film was the weakness of the dialogue. The dialogue was completely improvised, and it is sadly obvious. The only reason for the "R" rating is because of the prolific use of a favourite four-letter expletive and nothing else. I expected some explicit language because the characters are college students. However, I also expected a larger vocabulary BECAUSE THEY ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS. This redundant reliance on this word exposes the weakness of the players' ability to create fully fleshed out, three dimensional characters. The one good thing that I can say about this film is that they did an excellent parody of pretentious art students. This is the only reason the film got even one star. However, this five minutes of success cannot make up for the other 85 minutes of dismal failure. If you don't have anything better to do with a stormy evening, don't get this film. Instead, do something infinitely more frightening: stare at a blank wall.

Summary: Excellent entertainment.
Review: The Blair Witch Project is a big-hype movie that will seriously scare the pants off ya. But don't expect to be frightened straight away, as smartly this film starts out slow, but its gets horrifying in the end. I guarantee you will never want to go into the woods ever again. The acting is so good I seriously thought they were really lost and someone was really stalking them - that is how powerful the film is and how good the movie is is equal to how real it may be. The Blair Witch Project is a modern masterpeice of horror that I totally recommend you see because your missing out on a good film.

Summary: By far the worst
Review: This is the biggest peice of trash that I ever had to suffer through. I will admit I was kinda clued to the set but that was because I wanted to see if there was actually some meaning to the movie. I am glad someone bought this as a gift because I will tell you this I would not have paid the cash for this movie. There is no plot - no climax - nothing - just roaming through some woods!

Summary: Orginal but not a personal favorite
Review: I have heard very diffrent things about the Blair Witch porject. The critis loved it. Some of my friends hated it. WHen I saw it I did not love it. The camera goes all over the place and it is hard to fallow. The film is very origanal though. I did not like this film very much still it is highly original
Rating:
Summary: An excellent piece of modern cinema.
Review: Unfortunately, The Blair Witch Project didn't make me feel sick and scared until the last 45 minutes. But that doesn't stop it from been a cool movie. The thing with The Blair Witch Project is that it is all leading up to something. The story is smart, funny and terrifying. It'll definitely put you off camping for a while! You probably know all about the story, 3 student filmmakers disappear into the woods of Burkittsville, Maryland to do a documentary on the mysterious Blair Witch. A year later their footage was found.... AAHHH! I'm looking foward to the sequel (s) of this film, and if you haven't seen this, I recommend you see it .. now!

Summary: This Is The Worst Movie In The History Of Film
Review: This movie is so hideously boring that I found myself counting how many times the F word was being used just to stay awake...and that ending was absolutely lousy...I won't even bother to go into the plot because there is none! I enjoy independent films very much but this was just horrible...no substance whatsovever...a word of advice to the directors if you're going to make a film on a $2.00 budget then you'd better come up with some really creative lines...a bunch of teenagers running through the woods spewing obscenities for no apparent reason is not a good storyline! Don't waste your time on this stinker! You'll be more entertained if you stay home and read the ingredients on a tube of toothpaste.

Summary: One of the best and most original Horrormovies ever!
Review: O.K. all the negative reviews say that this movie is pointless and not scary. I guess they have never been in the Woods alone or watched this movie with a couple of lights on. I must admit that you can't compare watching this movie in front of your TV/Video and watching it in cinema, where the sounds and noises that the scares of this movie depend on are of much better effect. But, this movie is a hundred times more original and scary than any SCREAM, I DON'T GIVE A DAMM WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, or Haloween sequel. The Point is that you have to use your imagination instead of being visual fed with all the things that happen. Therefore I think that many people aren't used to this, so they perhaps didn't get the movie. I think you can't compare the Blair Witch Project to any other Movie out there. The Actors are beheaving absolutely natural, you don't get the impression that they had to study any script, you rather think that these three people were left out in the woods to make a documentary about a witch. You need an open mind for this movie, that enables you to rise above the standard horror film conditions. Then it blows you away.

Summary: The long and short of it
Review: This movie is long on use of the "F" word and short on an intelligent script. Here's all you'll need to know about this worthless film: Kids get lost in the woods, run around in circles screaming the "F" word at each other. Finally ends the way we all knew it would.
Rating:
Summary: Everything you've heard is true.
Review: So, The Blair Witch Project isn't really all that scary until the last 45 minutes, but it is definitely worth a watch. Heather (Donohue), Michael (C. Williams) and Joshua (Leonard) are 3 student filmmakers who are tramping through the bushes of Burkittsville, Maryland. Everything seems fine until they get lost, hear girls screaming, lose their map find a cut-off finger. The Blair Witch........ Anyway, what happens is Heather has taped everything they've done and what she has got on video is The Blair Witch Project. A masterpiece of terror, very well done - see The Blair Witch Project now!

Summary: The unspeakable horror
Review: At least once a year, there comes a movie that audiences either love or hate. "The Blair Witch Project" was one of those movies. Supporters of the movie said that it took horror to a more supernatural level without resorting to special effects. Critics said they didn't find it scary and the camera work made them sick. After seeing this movie, I found myself in the former camp. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies...somehow, most seem fake and desperately use stupid measures in attempting to scare audiences. TBWP avoided all the stereotypes of previous horror movies. The three students weren't meant to be heroes that would save the day; they were doomed victims that illustrated the chaos people feel when in truly hopeless situations. Myrick and Sanchez, in my mind, did an excellent job at putting the audience inside the movie (something that may have put off some viewers, because it is an unsettling feeling). But the true genius of the film is that whatever horror the students encountered was so horrible, it could not be comprimised on film. It was unspeakable horror, whether natural or supernatural. There is one part where Heather and the other students dart out of the tent and you see her running. She screams "What the ---- was that?". And you see nothing but darkness. You can substitute whatever scares you most in that horrible void of darkness, because no special effects could really do that unspeakable horror any justice. The last scene still gives me chills up my spine, and those freaky handprints are burned into my memory. Fans of conventional "slasher" horror movies rejected this movie, but to the person willing to open their imagination to whatever scares them the most will definetly enjoy this truly terrifying film.
