Rating: Summary: More power to them Review: After all the hype, I was expecting something special, scary, or both. I was gravely disappointed. Throw in a great dane, a green van, some groovy music, and a spooky villain or two and you have something. Instead, I just saw a trio of hysterical idiots get lost in the woods and swear at each other. But hey, I wish I had the foresight to make a goofy horror movie in college and market it like they did. The pet rock of 90's cinema.
Rating: Summary: Oops...Fell For It Anyway! Review: I've heard all the hype, and I've heard all the major plot points, but I was determined to sit down and see for myself what the stir was all about. I was surprised! I was surprised at the good performances and how much I cared for the three lost chararters. Through the entire movie I had a feeling of dread and anticipation as the story unfolded. When it was over, I was too unnerved to go to bed...I decided to watch the documentary "The Curse of the Blair Witch"...BIG MISTAKE...it made the whole thing seem more real and also filled in a lot of the details mentioned off hand in the movie! These two films belong together! Well done!
Rating: Summary: One of the worst films ever released to the mass market Review: BWP is nothing except three kinds who curse constantly and pretend to be lost in the woods. The story, if you can call it that, is UNTRUE. The only good thing about the film is that its only about 80 min.
Rating: Summary: You cannot be serious? Review: I cannot believe that such a strongly fancied film can actually have been such unadulterated garbage! I was totally convinced that this was going to be a fantastic movie; The reviewers were convinced, some friends saw it in the USA and said it was good and the newspaper reviewers said it was good - It couldn't possible be anything other than good? Oh boy was I angry when I saw it. A bunch of American students running around swearing at each other for 80 minutes and getting scared about absolutely nothing! The girl narrator was appalling. We got to the end and a friend broke the silence with "I feel like I just wasted an hour of life waiting for it to get better" DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS RUBBISH!
Rating: Summary: has its good bits, but drags on Review: I went into the movie theater telling myself I was going to be traumatised for life. For the first half an hour, I tried to distance myself and tell myself it was just a movie. Then I realised something - 95% of the movie isn't scary. There's only two scary parts to the movie, collectively lasting about 7 minutes, and ranking only a 4 star scariness. I'm not saying it was a bad movie - I thought it could have been quite cool. But after about 20 minutes of rambling on, we got the idea - they were lost. The movie could have been cut by at least 40 minutes, which would have resulted in a 5 star rating.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOVIES EVER MADE ! Review: Out of all the movies that I have seen, "The Blair Witch Project" has to be the scariest and best horror to date which will leave you feeling uncertain as to whether it is based on real events or one big made up story but whatever way you look at it, it will stay with you for days after viewing. The reason that I liked this movie was because "The Blair Witch Project" was made with very little money, and it concentrates more on suspense and making your imagination go out of control rather than concentrating on gore and cheap laughs. It also contains suberp acting from the cast and even when they are improvising, it still looks very effective on screen as they were genuinley scared and running out of rations to keep them going for the last days of filming. Two thumbs up to the Directors for creating a chilling and almost believable movie which will no doubt inspire up and coming Directors to branch out and try new ideas even if they have a very tight budget to work with. "The Blair Witch Project" is a must for all movie fans and you will find yourself being drawn into that trap of "What would I do if I were in the position of Heather Donahue, Michael Williams and Joshua Leonard". Although if you suffer from motion sickness problems, restrain from sitting in the first five or six rows of the cinema. This movie will be sure to put you off camping in the woods ever again.
Rating: Summary: Long and Boring - Blah! Review: If I could've given this movie no stars or negative stars, I would have! This movie was incredibly boring and it was a struggle to watch the whole thing. It was supposedly just short of 90 minutes long and felt more like 3 hours. I watched the clock more than the movie, which incidentally, I watched at a cabin in the woods on Halloween. It wasn't scary at all and the jerky camera effect is sort of sickening. If watching a bunch of smug, dopey kids (who possess no savvy of how to survive and negotiate their way in the woods) falling apart and shouting "F you, man!" for 90 minutes, you'd probably love this flick. If that's not what floats your boat, skip it and watch just about anything else. A test pattern would be more interesting! I can't figure out how this got so hyped up. I guess it just goes to show that suckers being dragged in big time!
Rating: Summary: Plot stupid Language unbelievably filthy. Review: I got talked into watching this ridiculous joke of a movie by my resident teens. I think they were even embarassed by the language. It's a good thing it was a low-budget movie, because it sure showed.
Rating: Summary: The most annoying movie I have ever watched... Review: Don't believe the hype, it gives independant films a bad name. I have a hard time believing anyone over the age of 15 found this movie scary. I have an even harder time believing anyone might have thought this movie was real. The plot was unconvincing, one minute they were walking downstream and the next minute they were walking upstream (of course they would end up in the same place). The acting was pretty darn terrible, the girl was just screaming and swearing all of the time (I don't have a problem with cursing when it is used in context, but that was just overkill). There were some clever ideas, and the interviews with the locals were pretty good (so that saves it from being a total wash). Only see it if you have the time and money to waste.
Rating: Summary: VERY SCARY! Review: I really don't know what to think. Is this movie real? I have read what most people wrote and most say it is not real. The movie was very scary and kept me on the edge the whole time. Is there someone out there who can answer my question as to if it was real?
