The Blair Witch Project

Type 97 Chi-ha · 07-27-2013, 05:10 PM

I am a member of IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) and looked at the reviews of various films, and wrote some of them too.

I mention this because I noticed that the (in)famous movie The Blair Witch Project got a huge number of reviews, most of them bad. I have not seen it and wondered if anyone here had, and what they thought of it.

Why do I bring it up? I remember how it got so well-promoted over the Internet at the time when that was still a novelty and most people were new to it.

Well, I hate horror/creepy films so imagine my delight when at the end of term (unofficially called 'video day') my class voted to watch it. I was dreading it....I had nothing to worry about.
Even I wasn't scared! I couldn't believe all the hype that surrounded it, it was a novelty and that got it the attention but really as films go I thought it was beyond poor.

I love how in-dept they did to make the movie feel real, not only in production of the movie itself but all the publicity and the fake documentary.

And the movie is creepy as well as one of the better found footage genre movies

Ugh...I remember when that movie was a huge thing. I watched it and thought it was horrible.

Thought it was a great idea that was poorly executed.
