Rating: Summary: Doesn't live up to the hype Review: The Blair Witch Project was a movie that received an unnecessary amount of media attention because of its cinematography and originality. The movie is a little scary but the climax just didn't leave me satisfied. I knew, before coming into the theatre, that this movie was not real, so maybe that influenced my reaction to it. Anyways, if you haven't watched sixth sense yet, go see it and don't be in a rush to rent blair witch.
Rating: Summary: Simply brilliant .. a must see. Not the scariest but.... Review: A very different type of film. Yes it is scary,but not as much as the hype would have you believe.Superb acting that makes you feel that you too are actually lost and hunted. One of the most memorable movies in the last 10 years.
Rating: Summary: If Satan made a movie..... Review: This is evil in movie form. And as for those who have compared this film to those of Hitchcock,....have any of you ever actually SEEN any of his films. For one thing, you didn't want the characters of a Hitchcock film to die. If I was in this film, I would have given these kids to the Blair Witch myself. They're annoying, and they have no common sense (you don't throw the damn map away, you schmucks!) Yes, I did have nightmares, because the fact that anyone would waste their acting talents and their time is very frightening to me. This film makes those old Ed Wood films look like film noir.
Rating: Summary: Is it a REAL story as I heard ! Review: I will give you an advice before watching this movie, DON'T watch it alone and be awaire that after watching it some seens of it will remaine in your memory for a long time. Three people going to the Maryland woods to discover something which nobody was stupid enough to do it before them and after they made interviews with the city people witch was like an advice to them to not go there. If they made a good plane and trained well about what they might going to experiance there and knowing their way in there very well, they would not face any problem if the wanted to escape from there, because of that they lost their life and they realy fail to prove anything to all of us. This movie is for ages 22 and above. I will give this movie 3 Stars in the middle becouse advantages and diadvantages for this movie are equal.
Rating: Summary: Here's something I find interesting. Review: Take a look at any of the reviews that say "Blair Witch" is a bad movie. Most of them don't say WHY it's so bad, they just say that it is. Most of the people I've talked to say that it's bad because "you never see the witch!" But the truth is, that's precisely what makes this movie so scary; you never DO see the witch (if indeed it IS the witch who's stalking them). Nothing that Hollywood can produce will ever equal what your subconscious can do to you, because your subconscious knows exactly what scares you the most. Sure, we didn't see the witch, but we're better off that way, really. Remember also that the movie never explicitly reveals that the Blair Witch herself is the one stalking the filmmakers; that ambiguity exists for a reason, which is to let the viewer draw his or her own conclusions. It's a bit like the ending of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's classic "2001" in that respect. Also, bear in mind that "The Blair Witch Project" was made with a budget of only $40,000 dollars, which wouldn't even begin to cover a big-budget Hollywood freak-fest like "Stigmata" or "The Sixth Sense." To make a movie with such incredible scare potential, and to do it for what in Hollywood is on par with cab fare, is quite simply genius. My opinion: give it a shot. But if you find it confusing, visit the Blair Witch web site and browse around a bit; a lot of context for the movie can be found there. Plus, Heather's journal will scare you even worse than the movie, especially if you read it at night right before bed.
Rating: Summary: good marketing can sell anything Review: I'd heard about this film snd read about it online etc and it sounded like a really good idea and i was excited about seeing it. 5 minutes into the film however and i felt digusted by the way i had been conned into paying to watch this "movie". I kept waiting for something remotely scary, but before i found that the credits went up, what a relief. The phrase "its what you dont see that scares you" is just an excuse for having no budget. I think lots of people gave this move good review for the simple reason that its not a mainstream hollywood film, regardless of whether it was any good or not. Too be scard by this film i think you would have to be the sort of person who got terrified by your next door neighbour coughinh at night, this film really is dreadful. i would reccomend that you dont wasted your money on seeing this film, rent somethong scarier, like the rugrats movie!
Rating: Summary: PURE GARBAGE Review: SUmming up all the qualities of this movie, you reach the following result: zero! The lack of budget for this movie doesn't hide the fact that the script is laughable and weak; there's no history at all. Talking about getting scared watching this movie, I think only my cousin of eight-years old would be scared. THis movie is just the sick idea of some directors (I wonder how much beers they have drunken before shooting this picture).
Rating: Summary: I can think of 20 movies right now much scarier! Review: Maybe ... just maybe if this had been a *true* story it would've seemed more interesting, but it's not, and the only reason I went to see this film was because of the overated hype about it being to terrifying. Calling this the scariest thing since the excorcist is a major insult to the loads of truly terrifying movies out there. Geeez, Stigmata was much more comparible to the excorsist than this! I remember when I left the the theater after this movie was over people were quite despondant about it and I even heard some moans and booing behing me! Several people commented on how the constant moving camera was causing them nausia and dizziness, fear of loosing my popcorn in the theater was scarier than what was actually going on in the film. I don't even think renting this movie for Halloween is worth it either. I can't believe these kids are rich over a movie of which I could have writen a much better plot for!
Rating: Summary: Everything below is utter lies.... Review: This was the scariest film I've ever seen. I am afraid to go to the cinema again. This is because this film was so scary I had to hospital for a severe panic attack. I could have died. The stunning special effects were a masterpiece. The acting nothing short of oscar winning. The dialogue so complex I got lost in places. The only thing the film lacked was that amusing and lovable fellow Jar Jar Binks. However the huge size of the cast more than made up for it. As for the plot it rivals anything and even tops the Usual Suspects. This film is not an example of ridiculous media hype and Americans willingness to buy into that hype.
Rating: Summary: A Mockery Review: This supposed film is not suited to even be discussed unless warning others not to watch. I was so disgusted with this film. The producer, writers, and wanna be actors of this film should be banned from the industry altogehter. There is no second chance for this group.
