Summary: Over-hyped, over-rated
Review: I didn't go to the theater to see this and I didn't rent it from Wallet-Buster's, but I finally taped it off pay-per-view, just last week- more out of curiosity over the hoopla than anything else. So, as you can tell, I was a little bit negative going into my first viewing of this wildly popular movie. The first thing that occurred to me about this movie once the characters got into the woods was that ANYONE WITH A CAMCORDER COULD HAVE MADE THE SAME PICTURE! Here's what I got out of it: three college kids get lost deep in the woods while shooting a documentary on the legend of the Blair Witch. Along the way, they lose their map, they hear strange noises at night, they get nervous and short with each other and say the 'f' word a LOT, way too much, in fact. I think the reason this movie became so popular was due to the fact that we've all feared getting lost in the woods and this movie is all about that with the added paranoia of the fable of a centuries-old witch out in the woods somewhere. The Sci-Fi Channel's special "Curse of the Blair Witch" probably played a large part with a lot of viewers decision to go see this, as it set up the legend as being a true story- which it was not. I think the producer's had a great idea here, but I also think they could have done more with it. Two things we know for sure: they made a fortune off of this flick and there will be imitations forthcoming. Hopefully, someone can do it better.

Summary: Refreshing Stomach Twitch
Review: When this movie was first announced, the idea or the concept of it were not very appealing. I was not interested in spending time watching it. But when a friend recommended it and actually brought the DVD over for me to enjoy, I had to sit and watch. I have to admit that it was so intense that I'm placing an order to buy it. It's been a while since I had the scary-movie stomach twitch.

Summary: Really bad movie
Review: I am glad that I paid just only $4 for pay per view--not VHS or DVD. I never seen movie like this in my life--really sick because of motion sickness and headeache. Don't waste your money if you are not wierd. I don't understand why some people think this is a good movie.I am really sick because of seeing the camera shaken all the time. This kind of movie, your child can make it with camcorder(just shake it! )

Summary: The SCARE of the Blair Witch
Review: During the summer I was laughing at the whole concept of the movie, (mainly because my viewing pleasure was mawred by the fact that I was seated behind three hecklers). Anyway, I saw the movie on DVD at 1am, and it freaked me out (and I don't scare too easily).The movie starts out looking like it'll be some cheesy yarn, but it's not. In fact, this movie is nothing less than genius, with the very gradual build-up to the traumatic ending, and the making you believe the characters could have really existed (which is what makes the movie work, you believe they could have existed, and you're watching their "found" videos).If you watch only one Horror movie . . . this is it.

Summary: Hiking Extravaganza
Review: There's a lot more to this film than just fickle spooky stuff. For those who love hiking/tramping/bushwalking etc it's a fascinating insight into how emotions flair when things aren't going quite right. Being lost in the bush/woods/forest or being inadvertedly caught out there in the dark without adequate gear is an experience in itself. I loved the backdrop, I thought..."..Maryland woodlands, nice...". I enjoyed the characterisation, they were actors surely but all they had to do was improvise a scenario and get on with just being themselves more or less in a do-it-yourself environment (credit to the directors), it was fascinating to observe how these 20-somethings lost the plot over a period of 7 days. I liked the intrinsic realness to it all, the total lack of 'industry', the graininess, I felt for the characters, they could have been any young attuned college student or graduate. If anything, the ornamental spooky stuff with sticks'n'stones was a little laughable in retrospect but that horrid final scene with that house and its shockingly evil vibe was captured well. I felt close to this film because I myself love getting out there. Yes all the witchcraft stuff was (and still is) purely fictional but some places out in the woods do have a 'vibe' to them...apparently close to here, Catalina Park in Katoomba in the highlands west of Sydney is one such place.....in all, vitally Earthy, grainy, emotionally real,...it's a fictional attempt to describe what may occur when a small group of people become detached from the world's familiar crutches and are put up against the natural Earth and its massed psychic energy without the protection of worldly props...it was cleverly done. It lingered.

Summary: Original
Review: Okay to all those people who say it wasn't a real movie; you must not know what your talking about. There are no rules on what could be call a movie. Blaire Witch Project is original in every sense of the word. The film does generate some scares because you never know what actually happens. the acting is fine and if the only reason not to give this movie a chance is if you expect a killer with an axe to come slaughter the three adults. Overall this movie is actually worth giving a try.

Summary: I don't care what anyone else says; this is a classic
Review: At first showing, I'll admit I was kind of disappointed, being dragged through all the hype. But after a second viewing, I realized that "The Blair Witch Project" is really something of a different nature... here's a few tips to truly enjoy the film: 1) Watch. Just stay tuned. 2) Don't listen to anyone around. Don't even respond. It ruins buildup; I'll say what that is later. 3) Blast the speakers. 4) Dim the lights. No, turn them off. Now, after a viewing, how do you feel? Utterly scared to death? Still have an impression of some rocks laying on the ground in your head? Scared of what's lurking the shadows? Hmmm? I know how you feel. This independent film explores all nerve endings, in one, short, 90 minute film. As watching, I felt scared, well, (I'm ashamed to admit)for myself... but really, scared for those poor, poor kids. Even after the movie was over, I still felt completely absorbed to the film. I just couldn't get my thoughts off of it. And alas, it was a GREAT ending. Words don't express what I feel for this film. It was made for a roughly $40,000.... and that, my friends, is what makes it so eerie. If the film was made with a nice, sliding camera, you know, the kind you see in the multi-blockbuster movies, then this wouldn't have been a scary movie. It sounds weird, but the shaky camera REALLY works. It just has that feeling of reality. If this were real, this would HAVE to be rated about 100 stars. But for now, this movie should leave an impression on all viewers, old to young. Rent before you buy... and watch, a few times.

Summary: The STUPID blair witch project
Review: Don't waste your money on this movie! It didn't have a story, it didn't have gore, and over-all it wasn't scary! It was defenitly not a horror flick! The only thing this movie had was language! I don't think I have ever heard someone say the f-word so many times in such a short movie.

Summary: This is the WORST film I have ever seen!
Review: This film can be summed up very simply: it's boring and disappointing. The only thing remotely interesting about the film were the last five minutes of footage. Then it abruptly ends. Supposedly some people actually believe this film is for real, but I can't imagine how. These actors are not even barely credible; they spend all that money in video equipment and can't get a SteadyCam? Oh yes, the seasick view was supposed to add "realism". And none of these morons thought to bring a GPS? Or a radio? Or more than one compass and map? Yet they have seemingly endless video battery power, for they sure don't mind wasting it looking at each other's chest hair. If they'd actually been film students making a documentary, I would have flunked them! The only thing that scared me was that I paid to rent this DVD, and that this film did well at the box office. Listening to a bunch of mentally inferior children whine about noises in the woods and looking at a dark screen aren't scary or interesting experiences. In fact, NOTHING about this film was worthwhile; don't waste your time or money.
