Summary: dissappointed
Review: I knew this movie, and I use that term losely, was not that long, but when I first watched it, I kept waiting for it to get scary. The wait was in vain. I have to give it credit for its originality in the style that it was filmed, and the improptu dialogue, though I thought Eddie Murphy might have had a hand in the writting since only his movie seem to have the f-word as much as this did. Scary...not in the least bit. A good movie....not very. But for those looking for something, though not exactly sure what that something is, this is an ok watch.

Summary: See the film, see the documentary and read the book!
Review: It's amazing how BWP has actually split people evenly into the pro/"I love it" to the con/"What the hell is this?" crowds. I for one loved this film for it's "chill" factor. I've been watching horror films (Hammer, etc.) and reading horror books and comics (King, Barker, etc) since I can remember, and I still think that BWP is by far the scariest piece of fiction ever made largely due to it's realism and the way it prompts viewers to "visualize" the implied terror in Heather and crew's film. For maximum effect (especially for those who "just didn't get it" including a number of my friends with whom I have been heartily debating this for quite some time now), I'd suggest buying this DVD (it's really worth it especially given the fact that it's loaded with special features such as the fake documentary et al coupled with its low price relative to higher priced DVDs whose only so-called special features are interactive menus - as well as one or two theatrical trailers) and watching "Curse of the Blair Witch" first before viewing the feature film. Then, as a recap, try getting a copy of the BWP Dossier which more or less goes a step further in providing an epilogue of sorts to the film with a post-investigation "seance" of sorts conducted by Buck Buchanan and party at the site (Rustin Parr's house), with spine-tingling results! At best, you'd really, really get scared and at worst, you'd probably find the whole thing still unintelligible but still you can't deny and keep from being impressed at the overall effort and creativity exhibited by the maker of BWP in propagating the whole mythology.

Summary: OVER Hyped
Review: Nothing scary about this film (besides the money it made). It's a good idea but the movie seemed to go on forever (despite it was only an hour and fifteen minutes not counting the credits). People claim if you don't see the evil entidy it more scarier, well thats not true at all. And some people have the nerve to compare this to the Exorcist. I can gurante you this will never be a classic.

Summary: This movie is absurd!
Review: I must have been living under a rock when this film was first released because I knew very little about it when I rented it. BIG MISTAKE! I was under the illusion that the film was a real documentary that had been discovered. Not only is it not real it is not even good as a fake documentary. I was so dizzy from the camera going up and down and round and round that I could barely keep up. Also the language is filthy. The female explorer should have her mouth sewn shut. It was trashy and vulgar. When the film ended (thank goodness) my husband and I just looked at each other with dumbfounded stares and debated on whether we should ask that our money be refunded. Don't bother with this one. The movie is certainly not frightening but knowing how receptive and excited the entire country was about this film is extraordinarly frightening.

Summary: Blair Witch - A complete fraud
Review: This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. After all the hype I expected at least something somewhat scary. I do have to say that whomever did their marketing is a pure genius as there's really nothing there. If you want to experience the Blair Witch project without having to fork out for it then just sit inside a dark room for a couple of hours with a flashlight that barely has any battery power left in it and play Disney's "Haunting Sounds" cd. I guarantee you'll get more of a thrill. This movie will go down in history as the biggest fraud to ever successfuly scam the movie going public. By the way, giving it 1 star is too generous.

Summary: I Know What I Am Talking About!
Review: First of all, let me say that I review horror movies for a living, and that this is by far the most original horror movie I have ever seen! This movie is great! First of all, it has no gore whatsoever, but is still very scary. It has the most poetic, and haunting ending I have ever seen. Anyone that does not like this movie either didnt understand it, or they just know nothing about horror movies. I would even consider saying that this is the best horror movie that I have EVER seen!

Summary: For shame... all a marketing ploy
Review: I still have a visceral negative feeling about this manipulative piece of tripe. I'm sure I'm not the only person who went into the theater under the impression that this was real footage of a real event; shame on me for falling for the marketing of this complete sham! Not only that, within three minutes of sitting there watching it, I began to get motion sickness because of the completely unnecessary jiggling of the camera. They couldn't even hold the camera still when they were interviewing the supposed "townfolk" on the streets of Burkittsville. And then there's the language. I don't know if they thought it would be "cool" to say the "F" word in every sentence, but I just found it thoroughly disgusting; I started to hope for the characters to meet their end. Congratulations must go to the folks who pulled in millions by tricking their audience. Worthy of zero stars.

Summary: You People Make Me Sick
Review: You accuse the movie of having "no plot", a stupid script, bad acting...Lord, did you bother to think about what you were watching? First of all, the movie had a plot...it never had any real twists physically. The connections were supposed to be made mentally through a series of plot points. There was NO SCRIPT, the whole movie was ad-libbed with just these plot points to work from. Bad acting? What the hell do you mean bad acting? These people were being themselves. They were just as tired, hungry, and irritated as the lost characters that they played, especially since Myrick and Sanchez basically sent them into the woods with two cameras and let them know where the movie was going and where food could be found from post-it notes on trees. The film has also been accused of having no character development. What are you thinking? Did Heather need to scream "OKAY! WE'RE LOST AND JOSH IS PROBABLY DEAD!" for you to understand that she had finally come to terms with being wrong? How obvious did it need to be? The film was innovative, original, and above all, UN-Mainstream. Furthermore, I'm sickened by people who say, "You didn't even see the witch..." That has to prove my point that most people were expecting something. To expect anything from this movie would ruin it's psychological effect. One thing that DID bother me was having Mike admit to kicking to map into the river. It would have been better if nobody had said anything and then, when they found Josh's teeth (or whatever those were), have THEM wrapped up in the map. Anyway, I liked this movie. Movieboy

Summary: The Blair Witch Project
Review: If you are a person who thinks that special effects make a horror movie, buy the new version of THE HAUNTING. The Blair Witch Project is terrifying. It prods at our fear of the unknown. We see three kids go into the woods, we know that they will never return. They are stalked by the menacing Blair Witch, and its really scary. The ending is wonderful. I was afraid when I first saw it that we were going to see the BW or have an answer to one of the many mysteries that this film poses. Thank God. The movie ends in mystery, with the two remaining students being killed. Only the footage remains to testify to their final, terryfying days in the woods. What happened to the students? Hopefully that question will never be answered. A movie sequel is uneccessary, the book, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT DOSSIER, covers the investigation, and makes a terrific continuation of the movie. It also leaves unanswered questions. Beware of the Blair Witch. She's very scary.
