Summary: The Blair Witch Project will let your imagination horrify you.
Comment: I first watch it on DVD in 2000 on my gateway computer, which was cool since it came with a dvd rom and a new world opened to me. The Blair Witch Project scared the living daylights out of me, even tho I knew it wasn't true. I allowed myself to believe it, to be drawn into the movie, and this DVD truly helped out a lot. The Special Feature made it even more convincing. The news reports were very details and seemed very real and as a horror lover I let myself be reeled in. So this time I'm buying it after 8 years since I've watched it from a Block Buster rental. I always wanted to own this I just never knew how much, until I read these comments.

Summary: IT WAS LIKE KIDS GETTING SCARED OF SANTA CLAUSE
Comment: THIS HAD TO BE THE WORST EXCUSE FOR A HORROR MOVIE EVER. I HATE THE SHAKY CAMERA AND THE WAY EVERYONE RAN AROUND WITHOUT REALLY DOING ANYTHING. IT SEEMD THEY WHERE SCARED BECAUSE PSYCHOLOGICALLY THEY WHERE DOING TO EACH OTHER. I HATE TO RIP ON THIS FILM BECAUSE I AM SURE OTHERS HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. RUNNING RAMPID IN THE WOODS IN THE DARK SURE WOULD SCARE ME IF ESPECIALLY IF THE PEOPLE WITH ME WHERE TRYING TO BE HORRIFIED BY THE UNKOWN. I DO NOT NEED BLOOD AND GORE BUT GOOD ACTING AND DIRECTING WOULD BE NICE. I HAVE BEEN FRIGHTENED BY STUPID MOVIES LIKE "PUMPKINHEAD" AND "KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE." I AM EMBARASSED BUT I AM AFRAID OF CLOWNS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SCARE FACTOR IN "PUMPKINHEAD" WAS GOOD BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE SURPRISE AND THE DIRECTING. I REMEMBER A REVEWER SAYING IT "SCARED THE MESS OUT OF HIM." I GUESS HE MEANT IT WAS A MESS.

Summary: A brilliant Piece of Indie Work...
Comment: The reviewers who give the movie a poor rating because it never showed the monster or because they claim that it is boring are missing the point. It is an ingenious idea, with fantastic human elements, and it should give any young film student hope for their projects to be widely received in the future.
The reason the movie works, it because of what we CAN'T see. The twig men, creaking woods, and loud rock hits during the night are as effective as the gruesome SFX in The Exorcist. Two very scary movies, for completely different reasons.
And about the cussing:GET OVER IT!! What would YOU say if you were hopelessly lost and pursued by an omniscient and omnipresent witch? Probably not "Jimeny jillikers!" The cursing adds realism, even if it's a tad overblown.
And the viral campaign was awesome when the film was released. Fake websites, documentaries on TV, and missing persons posters? That's almost better than having the incident be real, because you can appreciate just how clever the whole charade is!
Bottom line. The acting is impressive, especially for an unknown film, it is entertaining, and it is downright scary. And everyone complains that they weren't scared once they found out it wasn't real. C'mon, now didn't you all suspect it was a fabrication to begin with? Any horror fan needs to see it, and to be honest, probably already has.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Following the documentary was really fun and intense.
Comment: The ending was kind of messed up and too short, but the movie as it progressed was intense, sad and very well-filmed.
I know that it's just a movie and it turned out to be just that, a movie but it was good for what it was.
4 stars.
end note: 10/26/08: and this was my second time watching the movie. the first time was when it first debuted.
