Startling, yes. Scary, no.

Rating: 4/10 (17 October 2009)

After reading several reviews on this flick, I thought I'd be in for a good scary time. But alas, it was a let down to be sure. Parts of Harry Potter are creepier than Paranormal Activity. There were moments where I felt a chill, but it may very well have been the air conditioning blowing on my neck. I chuckled more than I cringed. In all honesty, my girlfriend kept looking at me as if to say, "Really?"
The attempt at documentary style home video Blair Witchyness has been done, and it's now an old concept. I honestly do not understand how people can say this is the "scariest film since The Exorcist", or how they can't sleep the night after they saw it. I don't know, maybe I'm just not the weak-stomached(or weak-minded) type to be scared about obviously fake things. If the things in this movie actually happened to me...ya, I'd be scared sh*tless, but not by watching a home video full of effects and loud bumps. There were some startles to be sure, but I was never scared.
If you truly want to see this movie, use these steps- 1. Wait for it on DVD. 2. Plop down in front of a TV in a dark empty old creaky house. 3. Be alone. 4. Drop some LSD. 5. Be terrified!
