Summary: Implied Horror
Review: I found this movie one of the most horrifying I've ever seen. Evil Dead meets the Exorcist. Psychological horror is usually the most effective medium in which to move audiences. This one had me going for days afterward and have never been moved in the same way as in the Exorcist! Close to 20 years, eh? Well done!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Boooooooorrrrinnnggggg!
Review: Maybe it's me . . . I didn't see one scary thing about this movie except that so many people felt it was the sacriest movie they have ever seen. Right.

Think of MTV's The Real World as a wannabe horror film. Endless whining and moaning from 20 somethings without a clue. They go deep into the woods and scare themselves scary while "something" places stick fugures and little piles of stones around the place.

Really bad acting, filmaking and a really bad waste of time, energy and life.

Don't get suckered.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unsatisfying, even with an overactive imagination...
Review: Have you ever had a friend tell you the first half of a very engaging joke, only to be interrupted before giving you the punchline? Sure it's possible to imagine your own ending, but it just wouldn't be funny anymore, no matter how creative you are.

The Blair Witch Project follows suit. The concept may have been intriguing, but after an hour and a half of watching three film students being frightened as they wandered through the woods...there was no conclusion. One of them disappeared completely. The other two stumbled upon an abandoned house looking for him and, when they reached the basement, dropped their cameras. One can assume that the witch got them, but it's never made clear. The movie just disintegrates.

I felt that the acting, while not flawless, definitely had an impact. Personally, I did not mind the shoddy camera work since it played a part in making the movie realistic. But no matter how innovative an idea is, and no matter how realistic a film succeeds in being, there's no making up for a flimsy, fragmented plot that neglects to tie up its loose ends.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Gives the word BAD a whole new meaning
Review: Scary? I must have missed that part. They sure seemed scared, it would have been nice it we could have seen why. Seems like they ran out of film half way through. I would rather go visit my dentist than watch this one again. The only thing good about this movie was the marketing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Scary And Disturbing
Review: Three filmstudents go out into the woods near Burkittsville to film a documentary on the urban legend of the Blair Witch. The deeper they venture into the woods, the more they encounter which gives evidence that the Blair Witch may be real. This independent film did very well in theatres considering that it had a budget of $35,000 and made $50,000,000 on the first week of release. This movie goes from the typical stage of surprise scary to chilling scary. A movie that everybody should have a look at.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Contains single most annoying scene in a film all year
Review: I'm talking about, of course, the much-hyped scene in which Heather turns the camera on herself for an artsy type of confessional. One serious problem is that by the time the film got to this point, I was so annoyed by her and the other characters that it was hard to feel any genuine sympathy for them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Blair Witch Project
Review: Soooo Baaad. . .What a complete and total waste of time! If your rating system allowed it, I would have given it ZERO STARS ! Totally boring, and completely devoid of any redeeming qualities. Do you want to know what is really scary? The mere thought that there are people amongst us who have seen BWP, and actually rated it good. Those of us with any common sense left should all be afraid.....BE VERY A-F-R-A-I-D ! !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I do not care what common American trash says
Review: THis film is a milestone. This film is beautiful. This film is fun. This film is scary. This film has made millions of hapless viewers jeallous they did not think of it first. The best mythology since 'Twin Peaks'. The most imagination since the chronicles of "Narnia"... Thank you Myrick/Sanchez for something to think about... finally. I was starting to think it was the Olsen Twins nude on video forever! I love your film Haxan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fear is in the unknown.
Review: I liked this movie despite all the hype because the horror is not all spelled out for the viewer. Just enough expressions of creepiness and the implication of an unseen, extremely malignant, entity are given, so that fear begans to work inside the imagination of the viewer. There are subtle details set forth earlier in the film. If these subtle elements are missed by the viewer, the story will not have a strong impact as it can for some. People who rely on massive amounts of special effects or spraying blood and gore to get their jollies from horror movies ,just won't be into this film. This story makes me think it is a modern equivalent to the early American stories, Young Goodman Brown or The Headless Horseman. I do think this movie is not without problems. The journalistic build up behind the witch herself could have been stronger. I could watch this movie a second time to catch any details I might have missed the first time around but would be disinterested in multiple viewings. All and all I give this film a B- for effort and a B+ for bald fear and creepy feelings.
