Summary: The Blair Witch Fiasco
Review: What an excruciating waste of time! I waited 90 minutes for something to frighten me. Then I realized that the most frightening thing about this film was the hype and all of the accolades heaped upon the writers/directors. You know a film is in trouble when within the first 35 minutes or so you are hoping that all of the main characters come to some gruesome end AND as soon as possible! Besides wasting time watching this film, the only thing I regret is that I have to give it at least one star in this review. Zero stars is not an option. Do yourself a favor and buy a Hitchcock video. ANY Hitchcock video. You will thank me later!

Summary: OVER-HYPED
Review: This film has been harshly judged. It is a low-budget film school experimentation and I am going to review it with that in mind. Artisan really did hype this film up a lot and people judged it like they would any other movie.We all know the plot. 3 campers get lost in the woods while making a documentary about the force that eventually kills them. With the minimal of money the makers, of this over-exposed movie, create a good deal of tension and raw excitement. Of course there are a few logic errors but I'm kind-hearted enough to see past that. Although this film is shown on a 1.85:1 screen in the cinema the entire movie in is 1.33:1 because it is all shot on video. The photography may be jumpy but it didn't make me seasick like it did to some people. It is a little strange to film everything that is going on but if they didn't there would be no movie. If Jaws made you feel afraid to go in the water The Blair Witch project will make afraid to go wandering in the woods. One last thing...it's not a true story. The DVD is in Dolby surround and is in fullscreen.

Summary: Too Much Shrill and Not Enough Chill
Review: Blair Witch Projects works best through its use of darkness and sounds that stir the imagination and create for a nervous, and forboding atmosphere. Unfortunately we didn't get enough scenes like that but rather we get more scenes of the actors screaming at each other. Those 3 really stressed me out more than anything that might be stalking them in the woods. The 3 were just too quick to turn on each other with shouting and foul language. Really tiresome. The movie is still an original work of spooky story telling but by the time word kept going around about the film it couldn't possibly live up to its hype. I would have given it five stars if it had less screaming and less hype and more atmsophere. All in all I was entertaining and fortunately I saw it when it opened in Minneapolis so I wasn't too tainted by the pre screening hype.

Summary: It Its Scary to Think That This Movie Actually Scares People
Review: There are very few things i can say about The Blair Witch Project. All I can say about this boring curse contest is that it is a complete waste of time and money. It insults your intelligence and to think that three people running around saying the f-word and acting like they're scared actually scares people is scary in itself. The only reason that this movie probably achieved anything is because five people probably thought it was scary, word got out, and everybody flocked to the theatre to see if it as true. In conclusion, there's only one word to describe it: DUMB!

Summary: One of the worst movies ever.
Review: This is too late to suggest to avoid this movie. Already a lot of people watched this one. If you did not, please avoid this. This must be one of the worst movies ever and is an exercise by the directors to make fools of the viewers. All it has got is Jerky Camera movements through out the movie that make you feel your eyes would pop out and repetitive dialogue that is capable of making your ears bleed. I was pretty irritated with this movie. Not even worth a single star. Take my advice and keep away from this movie.

Summary: The Scariest Thing About This Film Is Your Imagination...
Review: In today's cinema you have everything in front of you. Gigantic budgets with awesome special effects and the whole nine yards. This original little piece of work is completely different. Three film-makers disappear while making a documentary on a witch, and you get to see their footage. The one thing you don't get to see, however, is the "thing" terrorizing them. Your imagination is left to do that, and the results can be extremely frightening...No big budget, no big stars, no decent camera work, and still this film has the power to scare us.

Summary: creepy, original horror film
Review: "The Blair Witch Project" succeeds where so many horror films fail because of the sheer simplicity of its conception and design, allowing it to tap far more deeply into a wide range of primal fears than the conventional "fright" films churned out regularly by major Hollywood studios. While the latter films tend to dilute their terror through overplotting, over production and over reliance on special effects, "The Blair Witch Project" eschews all that for creativity, visual inventiveness and an admirable conviction that what is left unseen is often more terrifying than what is visualized. The film presents itself cleverly as a pseudodocumentary tale of a group of fictional college students who become lost in the woods while endeavoring to film a study of a local scary legend. With this structure, the film creepily conjures up many of the basic anxieties and dreads humans are prone to such as fear of the dark, of being hopelessly lost in an isolated environment, of unidentifiable noises on which one can project one's greatest terrors, of total loss of control against an unknown and malevolent force. Even more impressive is the way the film expands to become a study of the human psyche when it is placed into a situation of unspeakable fear and desperation. As the characters begin to grasp the gravity of their situation, the forced jocularity begins to be stripped away revealing the childlike terror, guilt, need for recrimination and eventually despair and hopelessness that overtake them. The actors are brilliant in capturing the full gamut of emotions these characters must go through before the preordained tragic end. The film also provides a slyly satirical spin on the obsessively cinematic tone of modern life, wherein every event must be captured on film or videotape, so much so that, even as death is breathing down the necks of these characters, the cameras continue to roll to record it. As one of them says in justification, "That's all I have left." That is her piece of the comfortable world of familiarity that helps her, at least momentarily (if futiley), evade the harsh reality of her situation. Also, these characters pay a high price for the superior tone of cavalier indifference and almost mockery they display towards the tales of the legend they have come to "investigate." More than any horror film of recent memory, "The Blair Witch Project" gets under the viewer's skin and gives one that feeling of creepy vulnerability that only the best horror films can do.

Summary: I counted 144 usages of the F word, and 0 usages of talent
Review: Out of 1300 reviews, I doubt what I say matters, but oh well. This was BORING, LONG, and STUPID. All the characters do is act poorly and cuss a lot. Most scenes sound something like: Person 1: "Haha, I kicked the f---ing map into the f---ing creek with my f---ing foot." Person 2: "WHAT THE F---? WHAT THE F--- DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU F---ING MOTHERF---ER? " Etc. Oh, I forgot to mention: I was not scared for a split second of this movie. Whoever thinks this is "original" should try filming themselves running around the woods swearing for seven days and try making 50 million off of it, cuz it worked for the BWP makers!
