It's your own fault, bud..

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 1999)

A perfect example of "less is more", in the era of off-the-wall CGI effects. Using a combination of hand-held camera work, and a claustrophobic, voyeuristic storyline, the filmmakers succeed by causing the audience to question their own actions. Have YOU ever walked into the woods to check out something you heard about (a burial site, a weird looking tree, whatever)? Have you ever freaked yourself out listening to the strange sounds in the woods,the snapping twig,the movement seen at the edge of your vision? You always lived the happy ending; all is right with the world. Now imagine that you are watching what could have been you, on video, MINUS the happy ending; this is NOT supposed to happen; what the HELL were you thinking, going into the woods, in search of what, a freaking horror story? The Blair Witch Project slowly drums on that nerve of yours till there is no out,no happy ending and no one to blame but yourself. And your possible final thoughts here? How about, "Oh, God, it's true, it's all true". Quick fade out.
