Summary: Good plot, creative, stupid movie.
Review: I have mixed feelings about this movie. First of all I think the plot is WONDERFUL, VERY creative. The bad part is that they cuss to much, every word was a swear. Also, it was boring and overal not a fun movie. Probably the biggest reason for my mixed emotions about this movie is that the commercial missled me into thinking this was a classic horror movie, and this is far from a GOOD classic.

Summary: I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL...
Review: I THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS REAL, BY DID I FEEL STUPID WHEN MY KIDS OF ALL PEOPLE TOLD ME IT WAS FAKE. IT WAS A REALY SCARY MOVIE, IF YOU THINK THAT WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING REALLY DID HAPPEN. AND IT GOT 4 STARS FROM ME JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT IS REAL, NOW THAT IS ACTING. HEATHER DONAHUE WAS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES TOWARDS THE END, AND I WAS WAITING FOR HER TO GET IT. THE CAST WAS VERY BELIEVABLE.

Summary: A scary movie for SMART people...
Review: I'm so sick of all the complaints that people have regarding this movie...1. The camera shakes too much and it makes me sick... 2. What is there to be scared of you never see anything... You people clearly don't appreciate smart filmmaking... 1. The scariest part is that you DON'T see anything... why must some people need to see what is scary to enjoy a film. 2. Put yourself in the place of one of these three campers. How would you react? 3. The cameras were part of the effect. It was a MOCK documentary that was supposed to look real. Think about it. And finally a far better movie than the horrible sequel. I highly recommend this movie to SMART and INTELLIGENT moviegoers that appreciate a unique experience...

Summary: Why the hype?
Review: I don't get why people like this movie so much.... The majority is in the woods with a girl and two girls and they just talk to each other and are in the woods forever.... Gee, creative. \ If it's not boring it gets to the dumbest parts, like the dumb videotape part and the staircase thing. This isn't original. I'm happy I haven't seen the sequel.

Summary: What's so great about it?
Review: I give this film 2 stars because it has one great idea. Unfortunately, it lost a lot in the execution. For one thing, real documentarians do not film every petty disagreement, and watching argument after argument gets a little tedious. Second, the characters are not sympathetic in the least. They act stupidly (one throws away their map? Why? Good question) and do little besides swear at each other. Some scenes, such as the much imitated "God I'm so scared" scene could have been effective if we had been able to develop any sympathy for the characters. Finally, although being lost in the woods is a frightening situation, we are supposed the believe they are really afraid of some gothic horror menace. Said horror is kept off screen, and when done well this can be very effective. In this movie, it is done poorly, and thus it looks silly. We have the characters freaking out over a pile of rocks and a tree with stick figures hanging on it. I mean, come on, STICK FIGURES! I can only attribute this movie's success to America's starvation for innovative entertainment. This starvation has led the American public to eat dirt and call it classic cuisine.

Summary: Highly original and freaky as hell.
Review: No one could see The Blair Witch Project coming. First, it just looked like your ordinary horror movie. But, then, when you were sitting down and watching it, you realised this is not about some masked creep going round the town with a knife and slaughtering teens. No, this is much different. The Blair Witch Project reminds us that the creepiest things in movies are in fact the things we can't see. The things you can only imagine how terrifying they are. The film gives us this message in a very original way by showing 3 student filmmakers hike into the woods to discover the truth of the local Blair Witch legend in Burkitsville. We see their hand-held documentary and exactly what happens out there, and its enough to make you not sleep for a straight fortnight. This is a movie that you can look at from every different angle, and from every different one, its somehow reflected inside of you. It's weird, but it makes sense when you watch it. The Blair Witch Project comes highly recommended.

Summary: Empathy and imagination required.
Review: Not for the Wes Craven crowd. If you found 'Scary Movie' smart and funny, you'd do well to skip this one. (You'd also do well to put down scissors before you run with them and throw away your driver's license... but I digress...) This movie is misunderstood. The filmmakers were working towards a theme, and nearly every scene, exchange and camera jiggle in this movie advances this theme. I found the dialogue to be effective and realistic, and thought that the actors did well in expressing the emotions of the characters. I found it very satisfying that the creators asked me to use my imagination to represent the witch, instead of asking me to suspend my disbelief by presenting me with plastic-headed puppets and shiny CGI goblins. This movie is still rather controversial... rent before buying if you haven't seen it before.

Summary: There are rules
Review: First of all this IS a scary movie. You jsut need to know how to watch it, b/c it is a one-shot type of movie. Watch it without any food or drinks around, without anyone else, and with the lights off. No magazines beside you, I mean you have to want to be there to watch this movie. It gets inside you. The terror and the darkness here is unlike any other movie, and if you really want to be scared watch this, but lose yourself in it. It is worth it.

Summary: interesting concept.........not scary
Review: I went in to this movie with the knowledge that it was a very scary film. That was far from the truth. I do give it three stars because it brings a new concept to the table. The idea was an interesting idea but it just did not strike me as frightening. The actors do create a very believable impression that the events are really happening. The movie gets too annoying and boring to be scary though.

Summary: Gen X Hansel and Gretel
Review: That is really what it is. When you strip away the histerical screaming and shaky camera what's left is a silly fairy tale. Most of what happens to them is their own fault. The film shows just enough to be unrealistic as a home movie but not enough to explain anything. The repetitive whining made me want to scream "Dude, we'll never get out of this theatre!" Interesting idea but poorly done....
