The Blair Witch Project

Summary: They made one big mistake that ruined the movie...
Review: Why didn't they show the witch at the end or something? Or a noise of it, or blood, or at least some kind of hint to show that the Blair Witch was there, and the students would meet their doom. That would have made the movie scary at the end (at least for me). It would also leave you with a haunting nag as if to ask: what happened to them. They should have showed something shocking in the house at the end, to make the movie more complete, instead of that ending that just left you confused. That's what I think

Review: Now most people dont believe this movie is scary - but i think its horrifying. This movie entails 3 students who journey through the woods to find out about the legend of the blair witch. whats so scary about this movie - is that its so believeable - the shakey camera - making it look like a home made video - and it truly analyzed peoples fear - where as in most movies - if someones scared - their like - WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? where in this movie - its hardcore cussing - that truly makes you believe these characters are scared out of their wits.

Review: {Spoilers herein}
Watching this certainly doesn't make you want to go camping in Burkittsville {or however that's spelled}. I think it's neat to watch despite what anyone else says. Here's the gig with the movie: 3 filmmakers decide to make a documentary, so they start to ask people around town if they've ever heard of the Blair Witch. Most people say they have, and others indeed say they had an encounter. So, then they decide to go into the woods and check it out....BIG MISTAKE. While they're there, one of them loses the map in the creek and the other two get mad at him for it. During the night scenes, they hear sounds in the woods like footsteps and other creepy noises. Before that, they recall what somebody said about a pile of rocks and that is exactly what they find outside of the tent the next morning...but it wasn't there the night before. That's when they end up staying a lot longer than expected. Soon after that, one of them vanishes and they also find sticks made in the figures of dolls and individual sticks all into one bundle. That's when there's a huge mixup because a whole bunch of other creepy things happen on their stay. Oh, yeah, and the sticks were all covered in blood, too. This is why filming a documentary when all of these things happen is a pretty bad idea.

Summary: Blair Witch Stoners
Review: I must commend the director of this "film" Eduardo Sanchez, because he made a bundle on this flick, not to mention all the hype and recognition about this being one of the scariest films ever made. However, I found this to be one of the most aggravating movies I have seen in years.

First, you anticipated being scared for so long, but you never got scared!

Second, the movie dragged for so long, I could have cooked a five course meal in the meantime and not missed a thing.

Third, the camera shaking effect was that held by a toddler, or was it supposed to be scary?

Were those woods really in Maryland and not West Virginia, because otherwise a few mutant cannibal hillbillies could have done the trick.

Lastly, were those kids stoned? Because there seemed to be an awful lot of confusion about where they were, why they were there, and where the map was.

After not breaking the DVD since it was a rental, years later I actually tortured myself and watched it again, but it was funny the second time around.

Summary: Like to watch crap? Here's a movie for you.
Review: The Blair Witch Project isn't horrifying. It isn't terrifying... it isn't even remotely scary. I think one reviewer put it best "the count of 'sesame street' is scarier." And how true is that?

Okay, I'll happily admit this: the acting is absolutely brilliant. Three actors were given all the equipment needed by the producers to film the movie and literally improvised the whole thing. I have to hand it to them: their acting skills are absolutely superb and by far exceed standards of movies budgeted at a mere $40,000. This being said, that was perhaps the only reason why I even bothered to give it three stars. The story on the other hand...I almost peed in my pants...laughing so hard.

I'm going to be blantly honest. This movie did not scare me a bit. The producers relied mainly on shaky camera angles and good acting (which is often what most people do) in order to pull of this film. The plot, while somewhat realistic, showed that the creators had little...creativity. The story sounded something out of a pre-teen urban legend rather than a disturbing real-life news caption.

The story centers on three college students who travel into the Virginia woods in order to further shed light on the Blair Witch Legend, while filming a documentary that highlighted their trip. After getting lost by some of the most extroadinarily stupidest circumstances (One of the travellers throws out the map just to further piss them off), our happy campers continually find themselves waking up every morning to the sight of stick dolls and strange rock formations assembled beside their tents (Oh my God, watch out! It's the attack of the stick dolls!).

After continually losing it more than once (and losing one of the travellers), the final two approach a deserted house and find their supposedly fallen camper standing in the corner...until the lights go out.

Like I said before, this movie isn't scary. I admit that I did enjoy watching it; it's got a good thing going with it's make-believe documentary but by no means scary. Watch it for the acting; not for the scare factor.
