Rating: Summary: Kind of boring, wasnt scared until I was alone in the dark Review: To start off this movie definetely had too much hype. I saw it with my girlfriend thinking it would be a very scary movie. I was very dissapointed. It had a lot of umm points that would seem to lead to a climax then it would die down. I expected to see a witch or at least a figure of one in the movie, but I didnt see anything. The movie didnt really come to a real scary part until the end. The end was kind of good so it wasnt all bad. After I took my girlfriend home, and drove back to my place by myself thats when I started to really get scared. I imagined myself in their situation and it started to freak me out. When I got home and went downstairs to go to bed, I coudlnt help but play the last few scenes back in my head, and that really scared me. It wasnt what I expected but it still was better then what a lot of people give it.
Rating: Summary: The Blair Witch Project Review: The pitch: 'Lets make a film about ... a fake scarey documentary and then lets kid people into thinking its for real'The subtext: 'Hollywood can still be beat' I don't think that one point of view can adequately capture this film. By the time of its European release any mileage to be gained from the original pitch had been long since spent. So like a sheep I followed the rest of the herd into the cinema. Personally I found this a very boring film, maybe because I was determined not to suspend reality and get into it. However, about a quarter of the way into the film various groups of pale shaking teenage girls were leaving. On the way out I scared my girlfriend by shining a torch in her face. That film really got to her, she wouldn't talk to me for days.
Rating: Summary: Silly, not scary, a waste of time Review: I was all set for a scary movie, having heard how good it was form friends. I watched it late at night, alone, in the dark. What a waste. I suppose someone who'd never been in the woods might have a different view.
Rating: Summary: Save your money Review: Blair Witch is horrible. Terrible. Pathetic. Atrocious. Obnoxious. Painful. It's a movie you should totally skip. Please, save your time, money, and energy, and go watch something of value. To me, this is the all-time worst movie, if you don't include Wing Commander (1999). Seriously, this is trash at its finest. Basically, nothing happens. Three arrogant teenagers, who manage to curse every other word, are lost in the woods. That's it. The cursing gets really annoying fast. And the female character: Oh man is she terrible! You'll be hoping the witch kills her off immediately! This movie was hyped up (by critics and the press) because it was an "indepedent" film and not produced by Hollywood. That's no excuse. It's just plain bad. No redeeming qualities at all. It's not scary. Anyone who tells you it is still afraid of the boogeyman. It's not entertaining. The time takes forever. I'd rather take the SAT's than watch this! (I'm not kidding!)
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Brilliant Review: So many people think this movie wasn't good. I liked it because there were no special effects. This made it look very realistic. Now a days people expect dazzling special effects throughout the entire movie. When this came out and they saw that there were no special effects it disappointed them. I LOVED IT!
Rating: Summary: It's a really bad movie Review: When I played this DVD, I thought I bought the wrong one. The quality of this movie was so bad and so was the movie. The movie was about three morons lost in the forest and got scared over some dead woods. Due to the disgusting way this video was filmed, it would really give you a big headache. For those who don't believe me, please rent and see the movie for yourself. It is not worth buying and adding into your collection.
Rating: Summary: A new version of Deliverance Review: Really, if you don't like suspense films, this movie is not for you. I found it a good example of a suspense plot. The unexpected is in every shot of the film, ritual marks, frighten night sounds, isolated woods, the panic of being lost, guilty feelings. No one can see who is haunting this group of youth persons. Camping, in such conditions is really a nightmare. If you saw Deliverance, 197?, a group of far mountain residents takes an explorer group men as haunting animals. In the Blair Witch Project these three youngs are taking in such manner. We can't see who use them as sadistic victims, in the final scenes, in such scary situation, all she has to do is scream, scream, scream...
Rating: Summary: Take away the hype and ... Review: After all the hype I thought this would be a bad movie and, lo and behold, it is. The best features of it - the strange heaps of stones and figures in the wood - were much, much better in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and the "amateur" touch was really silly. Who in the world would go on filming when they're nearly dying? so after a while I turned it off and watched my Uncle Joe's holiday films instead which were much, much more interesting ...
Rating: Summary: Worst film ever ! Review: Why can't I rate -1 star? Maybe my expectations were raised too high because of the enormous hype surrounding this film but buying the DVD was one mistake to learn from. Throughout the entire movie I was waiting for something scary to happen. But no, right up until the end it remained boring as boring can be. People who like watching trees and some dead wood might like it. Don't expect a storyline or plot, there just isn't any. I watched it 3 times thinking I might'ave missed something. But no...it's just a 95 minute documentairy on dead wood.
Rating: Summary: INSTANT CULT CLASSIC Review: I am dissapointed to read the bad reviews written about this film by people who obviously didn't give it a chance. If they were to watch it alone, late at night they would experience a whole new experience. If you let it, this film can involve you like no other. I consider myself a hardened horror fan desensitised by excessive dark viewing. However, this film resensitised (does that word exist?) me and invoked feelings of fear and impending dread that i never thought possible for a film. By the end my chest felt bruised from the onslaught of my breath holding. Many people have criticised the ending of this film but maybe that's because they didn't pay attention at the beginning to understand it, as has been the case with many of the people that i've confronted. In my opinion the ending is one of the best and most disturbing i've ever seen and will haunt you for weeks afterwards. The low budget of this film is what makes It so great. It achieves using no special effects what other movies spend millions (and still fail) on trying to achieve. Don't let other people decide for you, get this film, watch it ALONE (otherwise don't bother) and form yor own opinion. Either way its an experience you don't want to miss out on.
