Summary: Very Sophisticated Name, Tapped into the Mind of All.
Review: Their is really no doubt that the title is really one
of the coolest their has ever been for a film: Blair Witch Project. Blair Witch Project often gets ripped by critics and by fans but the working formula[for this movie] for its time
worked for them which resulted in it [making a good 130-200 million dollars]. Very unique...this formula can no longer be
imitated because Texas Chainsaw Massacre[the re-make] has taken horror to a whole new level, but i do recommend that you watch
Blair Witch Project because simplicity too has its freshness.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SHOULDNT EVEN BE CONSIDERED HORROR
Review: THIS MOVIE IS NOTHING BUT PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND WITH HOME VIDEO CAMERAS IN THE WOODS OF MARYLAND SCREAMING AND ARGUING IT WAS STUPID AND NOT EVEN SCARY YOU DONT EVEN GET TO SEE THE BLAIR WICTH, AND IT HAD THE MOST DUMBMEST AND CLUELESS ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN SO IF YOU LIKE MOVIES THAT LEAVE YOU WONDERING AND KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED GET THIS OTHERWISE DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT RENTING THIS CRAP THE ACTING WAS HORRIBLE IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY TO MAKE THIS SH$TTY A$$ MOVIE.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Creative Premise, but for gullible minds.
Review: The general production for this film was very innovative. I really despise the ongoing "Scream" type horror movies. This film delivers a very new alternative to horror flicks. I appreciate it solely for that reason. Yet, this film fails, in comparison to the much emblazoned image that it has projected.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 'the count' on sesame street is scarier
Review: really now. i'm all for having a horror film that leaves things up to your imagination. a film does not need to be gory to be scary. it does, however, need to be suspenseful. or creepy. or mysterious. three filmmakers with no common sense who scream and run from everything is not scary to me. and throughout the whole movie i kept asking myself: who would be turning on their camera for this (arguing, running, sniveling) right now? why wouldn't they be saving film for when they got back to their documentary? i think that this film had the potential to be scary but it really never delivered.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better than Picking Navel Lint
Review: BWP is an expertly crafted marketing campaign that works on the bases that what you hear in rumour is far better than what it is..... and the hype ends up being a way better than the quality of the movie itself. Apart from the fact that the principle actors and actresses shot the film it is not all that unique. In fact it turns out that BWP was made shortly after the directors watched a film called "The Last Broadcast", but they claimed their inspiration came from "Cannibal Holocaust". Truth be told, they pilfered the lot from "The Last Broadcast" that was made only the year before.

So we turn on the news and we hear that 3 actors/actresses are dead and that their film cans have been discovered and a movie called "The Blair Witch" will be screening at cinemas shortly and we will all get to hear and see what happened to these people. IMDB even listed the actors/actresses as dead. So the world goes and watches the film and some people get scared and this gets it even more hype.

When you put it into the context that non-mainstream movie goers, and mainstream movie goers, who do not watch horror, went to see this film then you can understand why it made them scared. Let's face it - most of these people who where scared could barely name five other horror films that they had seen in the last decade. We also had people walking out of the cinema saying - "WTF?? Did I just watch?" and "Damn that was soooo disappointing." As a whole, BWP works wonders. BWP is the only horror film that some people have ever sat through, because it was hip to do so. When the hype died down that was the last horror film they would likely ever see. Horror fans rate this one somewhere between "appalling" and "okay". Very few fans of this genre think that it is a film worthy of 5 or 4 stars or even 3 at matter. I know there are plenty of fans of this genre who would even do the 2 and 1 or spit on it until their throat goes dry.

I happen to think that this is great film to show to people who do not regularly watch horror, however if you are in any way familiar with this genre then it is hard to tell what you will think of it. Certainly some scenes are scary, but not all of it and there is lots of nothingness in-between and maybe even lots of - "who do they think they are fooling with this home video?"

The decision is yours. If you can BUY into this film then it will take you away to some awful depths into the back of your mind. If you do NOT BUY into this film then it will take you away to some awful depths in the back of your wallet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Freddy's Older Sister
Review: Why do I say older? I say that because the Blair Witch makes Freddy look like a commener and Freddy is the deadlyest and most frightening killer on earth! She's so terrifying, Creepers and Scarecrow would tremble before her. I just saw this movie and I didn't wan't to take the dogs out that night. If you are a person of weak will, don't see this movie because repeating it's not real won't save you from this terrifying grip thriller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Total rubbish
Review: What people see in this films beggers belief. The story is ridiculous and the acting is daft. I'd give it no stars if I could.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Blair Witch Project
Review: I, for one, went to see this film with little to no expectations. When I left the theater, I just couldn't believe a Indy film could be so real. Most Indy films today have little to offer (exception of probably five films per year) to their small audiences. This film is diffrent. You hear all the talk from fans (and most critics) that 'The Exorcist' is "the scarriest film ever." I disagree. Now I'm not saying that this film is the greatest horror film of all time, but it's damn close. The film is simple. Three college students go out in the woods of Burkittsville, MD to search for the legendary "Blair Witch." They wind up getting lost in the woods and soon after find themselves becoming part of the legend. To make it even more simplistic, they let the two actors and actress carry around a regular camera. The results? A scary as hell picture. So simple yet so effective. The highest grossing Indy film of all time, and with good reason. Most critics loved the film, but probably half of the moviegoers came out saying "this is scary?" I guess everyone has their own tastes, but for me, it doesn't get much better than this. And yes this is coming from a fan of such slasher franchises as 'Friday the 13th' and 'Halloween'. I guess this film is one that you either absolutely love or you absolutely hate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Freaky
Review: Blair Witch Project is one of the best horror movies I've watch.. A low budget movie with incredible ending. The ending freaks me out. I am not "scared-in-a-dark" kind of person but after watching BWP, I am kind of avoiding the dark..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2.5 for it's originality
Review: I hated this movie in allot of waysa but it's original and even if thats all it's got going for it it's worth a rental. i don't recomend it consistently but you should still try.
