What a joke!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 1999)

Where are thee emperor's new clothes...I don't think I executed that overused (yet popular) saying correctly, but you'll understand what I mean if you felt the same about this rubbish.
Ever been in a car on the way to your parent's house on Thanksgiving and everyone in the car just bickers, bickers, and bickers? Put that in front of a Parkinson's Patient using a handheld video camera and you have the Blair Witch Project.
I'll keep this real short, because most of the negatives have already been discussed. But explain this; these three kids get lost in the woods, and even after they're terrified and at the point when survival is the number one priority, why did they continue to film the whole thing? (Even when they indulged into a few physical fights? Wouldn't they at least set the camera down?) This is amateur filmmaking at best, so shoestring and holed that it probably didn't even take a full day to square it out. You don't need a huge budget to make a good film, but if you extend your time, efforts will prove to be more thought out and worthwhile. That wasn't the case here. The premise was extremely mundane (Anyone who hasn't seen The Vanishing, Cannibal Holocaust or 84 Charlie Mopic, first, would understand), the delivery was ill-concieved and overbaked, and the characters were no less annoying than those in the common Hollywood teen horror flick.
This is a rape of intelligence, money, and time. If, to you, life is a terrible thing to waste, you'll be better off avoiding this movie. I say this as a friendly suggestion.
