Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
cinephile-27690 After Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom, this is the scariest movie I have seen, and I have seen this 5 times! At the beginning of Roger Ebert's 4/4 star review, he writes: "We're instinctively afraid of natural things (snakes, barking dogs, the dark) but have to be taught to fear walking into traffic or touching an electrical wire. Horror films that tap into our hard-wired instinctive fears probe a deeper place than movies with more sophisticated threats. A villain is only an actor, but a shark is more than a shark."And that is what make The Blair Witch Project so effective. It depends on the sounds of nature that would scare you at night. It is what should really scare you in life. It does not use scary Psycho music(I mean, that's a good movie, but you know when she will die in the shower!), or other warnings. it just let's it happen.And the the most scariest thing is how many times they say the F word!If you want a truly scary movie, look no further than this!
amarijalenk For the most part, this film is just three hikers who get lost in a haunted forest and then suddenly disappear but there's absolutely nothing scary about it, we don't even get to see the Blair Witch in it's physical form. Majority of this film is just the three main characters arguing with each other back and forth until they disappear, I'll never understand how anyone can think this is one of the stronger found-footage syle films, because it's not. This movie is as weak as they come. Paranormal Activity 4 was a light year better than this crap.
R. Nathan Hund The only thing scary about this movie is how gen Xers will fall into line and start marketing anything just as much as the person paid to do so will, and don't seem to be aware they're doing it. It really depends on that principle of self delusion. And self obsession. "I know I am FEELING SOMETHING...". So it must be real. Typical gen X solipsism. Someone that suggestible could actually work themselves into fear over...nothing. And they do, because you can see all the terrified ones that thought it was great. But if you don't create the delusion...well, you see the rest of the reviews. There's nothing there. They seem to recover though, if you look at the movie's ratings trend. Straight down to hades!Vapid, irritating, unconvincing, illogical, amateurish film making at its very worst. Over hyped by the hype machine. Gobbled up by the gullible. Yeah, there's real horror here all right!
Michael Ledo I feel like I am the last person on the planet to have seen this film and I could have left it off my bucket list. This is the mother of the hand held genre with Heather Donahue being the cut off face that launched a 1,000 films. I found the premise to be interesting. The interviews with locals seemed extremely real and not boring. The internal conflict the group has in the woods was over done and was more grating than entertaining. Yes, I wanted to kick the crap out of Michael (Williams) too. It is iconic, so I watched it.Utz chips and beer is indeed the meal of champions.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Heather Donahue gives us the best Up-Nostril since José Ferrer in "Cyrano de Bergerac."
