It hurts me to say this...

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 1999)

I had the privilege of screening Blair Witch before the main release. I was pensive, anxious, apprehensive, but primarily excited. Bummer.
Now, I usually dig movies that try new things, and this one did so with flying colors. It's simply a shame that I was alienated from each character due to the fact that they're just plain jerks. By the time the "shocking ending" came about, I didn't really care if they died. (Which, everyone knows, they do.) I just wanted them to shut up.
I'm also a great advocate of oblique ways of portraying the antagonist. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was just the rest of the crew yelling in the woods. So, in short, go see this innovative film. Just don't expect as much as I did.
