The Blair Witch Project

Summary: creepy not scary
Review: If you watch this movie expecting to be scared out of your mind, your out of luck. If you expect a movie that has a creepy feel with disturbing undertones, youll only be underwhelmed. I heard all this stuff about how not seeing it makes it scarier, and that can be true, but not with this film. When it had just ended, I literally shouted out "That was the STUPIDIST thing Ive ever seen". My opinion of it has gone up with time, but its still not as good as most think it is, and not as scary as candyman or disturbing as jacobs ladder. Actually, it was much funnier than people give it credit for- watching that group of friends self destruct on camera is hillarious! A choice seen is where the guy admits he kicked the map in the river and everyone starts screaming. Creepy and unintentionally funny-the blair witch project.

Summary: Okay
Review: First of all, I didn't think that the movie was that great...slightly scary, but very predictable. The other reason I gave it 3 stars is that, unlike 'The Matrix' or 'The Sixth Sense', there is no reason that you need to see it more than once (unless you really love it). The extra features aren't great. It has audio commentary by the directors, a few minutes of extra film, and a TV documentary. I'd say save your money and watch it on Showtime/HBO/Cinemax.

Summary: An excellent movie
Review: This movie ruled. I loved it, it was the scariest movie I have ever seen and I couldn't sleep for days afterwards. If anyone hasn't seen it I recommend it. The talent Josh, Mike and Heather were excellent. This movie ruled and everyone should see it. Although many people disliked it, they probably don't understand what a great piece of art this actually was. A film everyone wished they could have thought of.

Summary: Realy only a one time viewing needed.
Review: At first it was hyped up to be the scariest movie ever, then once people saw it became the least scary movie ever. I dont think its either of them i wont say i wasnt disapointed, i was but its realy not that bad and i do think its worth seeing once. Now the second time you watch it then you can call it boring. The only reason it works the first time is it has you in suspense. It is a little scary but very repetative which bores you and takes away the scare. The idea was realy good but i feel it could have been used in a better way.

Summary: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT DOLBY SURROUND 2.0 DVD REVIEW
Review: I consider this to be one of the best horror movies that I own. The film is about three film makers going to film a documentary about the legend of the Blair Witch. When hiking in the woods they get lost and then thats when the movie picks up pace. The ending of the film is really sudden and creepy. The reason I loved this film is becuase it was really scary, but they never really show anything. So it lets your imagination scare you, and it leaves you with an impression that you can not shake for a good while. This is really a unique movie expierience.

The DVD Picture and Audio are really good considering what was used to film it. The film was never in a Widescreen format, so it is presented on the disc the was it was shown theatrically at a 4:3 aspect ratio. The disc does not have a Dolby Digital 5.1 Soundtrack but a Dolby Surround 2.0 Soundtrack which still is terrific to hear. The sound really has effect on you in Chapter 17 where they are running through the house trying to find Josh.

The supplements are very nice on the DVD. First there are the regular Cast and Crew Bios and a couple of Trailers (teaser and theatrical). There is also "The Legend Of the Blair Witch", where it is basically the timeline of when the events related to the Blair Witch occured. The best bonus is the special "Curse of the Blair Witch", a documentary that takes place as if the events of the Blair Witch happened in real life. It basically explains all the events that occured regarding the witch that were mentioned in the movie with more detail and explanation. Watching this special really added effect to what had occured in the movie.

A few DVD-ROM features are added to, but nothing really special: just some excerpts from the comic book, the Dossier and a copy of the Map from the movie.

I based my 5 star review on the film, sound, video, and supplement quality of this DVD.

Summary: Great?more like grazing on the fields of mediocrity.
Review: Starting off, the only reason why everyone thinks and thought this movie was so great is because it was the first movie of its kind.The movie only had one scary part which i wont ruin for you.Little background on characters(so how sorry for them do you feel).Oh, and like the x files, they scare you by showing you what you arent afraid of.Works for the first 30 minutes, then you get used to a bunch of kids running and screaming..and you dont even hear whats chasing them?WTF.Its stupid like that.But in its defense it does have some cool parts in it.

Summary: I've never been less scared my entire life
Review: This idea had potential, but ended up just being drawn out and repetitive. It would have been better if "whoever" was stalking the kids was taking home videos for their own sadistic pleasure... that would have been scary... this was just uninteresting. Watching gave me more a feeling "if I was there I'd be freaked out", but watching it on a screen didn't quite make it.

It get's 1 star for originality and 1 star for the scene when the guy tells the other two what happened to the map, the only scene in the whole movie that illicited a response from me, laughter.

Summary: A piece of hyped up fluff
Review: As you can see from the one star that I didn't like this movie.

Let me repeat that again: I didn't like this movie.

Yeah, I know for you Blair Witch fanatics will be upset. I know what you're thinking: "This chick has no imagination" or "She doesn't realize the true quality of this movie."

Yeah, bite me.

I don't understand how anybody can like this movie. There was nothing to like. We have a bunch of stupid college students going into the the woods (totally unprepared) and freak out. What kind of plot is *that*? I don't understand it. The plot was totally lacking. I guess because the movie didn't have a plot? Hmmmm.

And we have Heather. My, my, my how much she really annoyed me. Miss Priss that was all power-hunger and arrogant. Everything she says just makes me gag. First part of the movie she acts like a haughty witch (ahem) and the next part, she is sobing and "sooo sorry". *gags* If she was the first to die, maybe the movie would have been more tolerable. Somebody should have shoved that camera of hers where the sun don't shine.

The movie wasn't scary either. The camera work was just plain awlful on the level of awlfulness. This was more "Jerry Springer's Home Videos" than an horror movie. I could hate to be stuck in the elevator with those twits. Everything that could have gone wrong did--and it was all their fault.

Summary: Pathetic
Review: A tedious, motion-sickness inducing experience which does not scare or involve the viewer. Featuring annoying characters, an inexistent plot and a gaping hole at the end, this 90minute home-video details time spent alone in the woods and human reaction to "spooky" sounds and sights. This movie features a young women who is probably the most annoying character to ever grace the screen, who can only boss around her fellow campers for the first half, and becomes a sobbing, emotional mess for the second half. This is not a movie - it is a B-grade home video filmed by halfwitted university students. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: If you go down to the woods today youre sure of big surprise
Review: This movie is like a modern version of the old epistolary novel - but rather than constructing a novel out of letters and diary entries, we have a movie built out of video and film made for different purposes. Given the number of people who want to video everything, it is a real equivalence.

The story is simple - three young wannabe film makers head into the woods to make a documentary about a local legend, the Blair witch. (Blair is previous name of a town.) Then things start going wrong. As we are told at the start, this movie was constructed from what they had filmed before they went missing.

Whether you like this movie will depend, at least in part, on your desire for a movie to have a beginning, a middle and an end. This story doesn't really come to a conclusion, it just finishes. But what is important is that the film is about three people in a difficult situation, and looks at how they react and interact as the situation goes down hill.

The chances are you won't be sitting on a fence with this movie - you'll either love it or hate it. But you should watch it, because if it does work for you its a good movie.
