Summary: a bomb that does blow. I.E. fake bomb
Review: here's my Rx of making your own Blair Witch Project 101 for dummies (can I have yellow background for this message?)

You'll need: 1. A mirror 2. A cord 3. Few dry sticks. 4. Few dry rocks (they can be wet and mossed, that's not essential) 5. No shame. If you got shame, don't dare to start, you won't get as far as the founders of the Blair Witch cult did.

What to do with it:

1. Pack all above and go to the woods.

2. Use the cord to tie the sticks together and hang them on the trees around.

3. Pile up the rocks casually and easy in few small hills 5 to 12 inches high.

4. Position your mirror so you can see your face, the bunches of sticks hanging from the tree and piles of the rock at the same time.

5. Varying your intonation say few dirty words, make your best of making really ugly face and pretend like you die.

If you shame gauge shows mere zero, tell everyone like you really really mean it.

Seriously, I don't know anyone who takes this BS seriously. If I did not have to pay $8 to see it, I'd call it practical joke. Since I lost money, i dare to call it fraud.

Summary: A few things left me freaked out...
Review: I admit, I did get kinda freaked out at a few points. Like the ending scene (Whoever said Heather got shoved into the ocean really needs to watch the movie again. Contacts ON, please.). You don't know what happens to Heather... and thats what made it scary. It was phrased best in one of the first reviews. There is no fear greater then the fear of the unknown. And I love how the mythology of the Blair Witch slowly made its way into the plot. The only bad thing about this movie is the hype.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent - gripping and gritty.
Review: This movie succeeded on so many levels. It felt like a real experience, which worked. Not since Texas Chainsaw Massacre have I seen a movie that disturbed me with images and suggestions, and no blood. If you allow yourself to get into the movie, enjoy the characters and follow their demise - you will love the movie. Some great spontaneous humor, and the realization that you are lost in a foreign wood is gripping. The most enjoyable aspect is the breakdown of the group social structure and the breakdown of human decency...you get to see what it is like to skate on the edge of lunacy - lost and hunted. The paranormal evil is gripping as well. I find the wails of a child in the woods in the dead of night even more gripping than someone just leaping out and hacking them up...the terror is there because it is the occult, and it reeks of more than a silly serial killer or backwoods nut.

There must be some suspension of disbelief...yeah they would not use the cameras all the time (but you must accept that as a viewer that the director needs to tell the story through the cameras, so it is no big deal). Why didn't they have a cell phone? This story took place according to the makers, a while back, when cell phones were not common and you must remember, these campers thought they were going to be back within a day or two...not a tough hike, and a lot of backwoods areas, cell phones did not work either.

If you are into hype you will be disappointed...if you are expecting cinematic brilliance, you will be disappointed. If you do not like character development and subtle terror you will not like this film. But...if you have ever been camping, alone or with friends, in the backwoods, and you have ever woken up to a far off cry, or seen something very eerie, this movie will play on that till the end...and that is what makes this film great in my opinion. Bottom line, it kicks the butt of so many Hollywood films that follow formulaic plotlines and cinematics...if anything, you will enjoy this movie for being original!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: makes you dizzy.....
Review: i was about to see this movie in theaters but then i heard it made everybody throw up from motion sickness.i decided to wait till it came out on video so i could stop it in case i was about to hurl.but i got it the day it came out on video and it only made my stomach hurt a little but at least i didnt throw up.just stop it for about five minutes every half hour.anyway,i think this movie is great! even though it all wasnt real,it was still very entertaining.not too many scary parts but at least the parts that arent scary arent boring like they usually are in horror movies.the freaky parts arent scary,just creepy

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a dumb horror movie!
Review: This movie was just like Deliverance except it's not even scary. I can't believe they lied to us when they said it was a true story. If your going to go rent this movie you will be a little disappointed. It's just about three filmmakers who get lost in the woods and can't find there way out. There are too many bad words in this movie too. Do not see this movie it's bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A thinking movie
Review: I have come to the conclusion that with this movie there is no middle ground. Either you really liked this movie or you hated it.

I saw this movie the first time at the theatre surrounded by teenagers(how did they get in in the first place? Someone wasn't doing their job of checking ID's) From the opening words I was hooked. This is the best scary movie in a LONG time.

After the movie was over,I listened in on what some these teens were saying. The majority of them seemed to not like this movie for two main reasons....You never see a "boogeyman" or what have you. And they didn't get the ending.

Part of the problem I think the majority of people had with this movie was they needed to use their imagination to some extent. Todays young people have always had everything set out for them. They see the "boogeyman". They see exactly what happens to the people in other films,quite graphically usually. They aren't familiar with unknown sources of evil,and their imagination has not been put to good use. . Your imagination can provide you with far more horrific scenarios than what can be put on film. As for the ending apparently they weren't paying to close attention to what they were seeing and hearing.

The terror is there lurking ever so quietly just beneath the surface. The slipping sanity of the victims. Strange noises,lack of sleep,slowly losing your grip on reality,a place haunted by previous evil........It all makes for one terrifying ride if you just let your imagination have full reign. What did happen to Josh,Mike and Heather? Let your imagination go and you will be terrified.

If,like me,you loved this movie,check out Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Low budget movie but.....
Review: Although the movie runs on a low budget I can only say its an amazing movie, Its packed with thrills and chills, there is no real gore or horror scenes but its full of creepy moments which keeps you alert all the time. For moments you will be in doubt not knowing if this is a real footage or just a made up thing. Simply its one of the most spooky films I have ever seen, I have it on VHS and I am buying it on DVD. In the end I can only say this movie is a one of a kind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Review: How boring is this movie! Ohh no we are in the woods and NOTHING happens! Ohhh Ohhh! Uhh oh I hear kid voices in the night! They are shaking the tent! Maybe it is the cast! Go away I need to sleep! Talk about boring! The end, wheen the girl gets thrown into the ocean is sooooo fake!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a creepy movie...nevermind the naysayers
Review: Yes, the kiddoes in BWP aren't always so bright, they keep the filming going too long when they should do something more useful and they bicker and get on each other's and our nerves and don't always do what we might do. In other words, they are like real college students.

But this is a scary movie that has a very good creepy atmosphere....something harder to capture than most people realize. The woods look dead and drained of life. The mental deterioration that comes from being lost in the woods and knowing that your chances of getting out are getting worse by the minute is very effectively done - to me that is the real horror of the movie and one which I can relate to more than any supernatural monster. You have to understand that the twigs and piles of stones are battering the minds of people already lost, hungry, tired and getting very desperate, and they would freak me out too. Heather's confession scene is a classic. The last scene is also a classic. I like ambiguity of it all, which is why BWP is on my shelf next to that other classic where horrible but uncertain things happen, Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The "Blah" Witch Project
Review: This movie gets one star because it's definately more frightening than "The Muppets Take Manhatten."It was a big mistake watching this. I don't frighten easily. But now, everytime I step out of the house and see a rock, I have flashbacks. Heaven forbid that I see some twigs, I break out into a cold sweat. Whenever I go camping and hear the nocturnal birds flutter their wings against the tent, I lose control of my bowels.There were some decent points to the movie, it taught me some basic navigational, survival, and common sense skills. For instance: If you ever feel that you are lost, throw away your map and trust your instincts instead. Number two: If you are lost wthout a map, never EVER follow a river to find your way out of the woods, most rivers and streams flow in circles you know. Survival tips: ALWAYS pack at least a week's supply of Camcorder batteries, NEVER a cellular phone. (They take up too much space) Number two: If you are running for your very life, always take the camcorder with you, you'll at least have something to whack the noises upside the head with.Common sense tip: If you are wandering around in the forest and see a bunch of cute little stick figures laying about, gather them up and take them with you! You can sell them at a craft fair or flea market!Summary: Great educational film.Practical, everyday uses for the Video and DVD: DVD can be used as a coaster, mini-frisbee, circular saw blade (with moderate modifications,) cat plate, or underneath support for that slightly uneven table leg. The Video: Can be used to tape all your favorite episodes of "Mister Roger's Neighborhood," may serve as a safety "chock" under your car tire if your brakes ever give out, a book-end, actual tape may be cut up and used as confetti in a parade, set up on top of the hamster cage to prevent that pesky little bugger from escaping, and last but not least, may be used to tape a real horror film on. This is by no means a comprehensive list. I'm certain others can think of dozens more uses for this versatile piece of art.Scariest movie since the Exorcist? NOT! That's a SLAP IN THE FACE to the (truly) scariest film of all time!
