Scary

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 1999)

It is hard to believe that a low budget horror film like this can actually deliver the goods: to scare viewers. In a time when special effects seem to be the most important aspect of movies, Blair Witch Project offers something different. It is one of those rare movies which can make people inside a theater be quiet. When I saw it, everyone inside the theater was quiet during the scary scenes. When was the last time that happened?
Blair Witch can be compared to an Italian movie named Cannibal Holocaust; they both have something in common: they are about people who disappear, and then their footage is found. Yet Cannibal Holocaust wasn't scary at all. Blair Witch is a good horror movie.
Of course, there are many people who won't like it. If you are expecting special effects or a typical horror movie, then you are probably one of the many people who will hate this one. Those who want to be scared, well, that's a different story.
