A frightening outing? Nope. Outed as boring and poorly executed.

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2015)

Ugh! No thanx to "Blair Witch" for the continuing onslaught of "found footage" films. "Found footage" - alias shaky, misdirected, often incomprehensible filming with no attempt to portray the action clearly. This contrivance must save a lot of money since it provides an excuse to delete a competent cinematographer from the budget. "Blair Witch" took a truly compelling notion and turned it into an unscary, unprofessional so-called horror movie. The characters are annoying brats. Lost in the woods, maybe something is after them. Who cares what happens to them? Good thing we don't care, since their fates are left to the imagination. There's NO witch in "Blair Witch" and the result is not bewitching. The greatest mystery in this non-horror film is that Roger Ebert rated it 4 stars. He even applauded its "rock-bottom production values." I don't find those pathetic values admirable. If zero star(s) were possible, it would be zero. To give it a rating, I give it 1 star. One star means "rambling, boring non-effort, not worth watching."
