Horribly hyped up movie that was rather boring

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 1999)

When going to see the Blair Witch Project, I expected to see an extremely good and scary movie. I was forced to travel forty-five minutes to see the film at the only theater that was showing it in my area. Furthermore, because the showings were selling out so quickly, we had to purchase tickets online for $9.50 each. Keeping these aspects in mind, the film was not worth the effort one bit. All that I kept hearing from the media was how truly scary it was. It wasn't scary at all. First, it was filmed on really shaky Hi-8mm video camera, which made nearly everyone in the theater motion-sick, then after nearly an hour into the film, almost nothing had happened. This movie moved so slowly, and then the ending was abrupt, not scary, and lame. This film is not worth the effort, and doesn't come close to the hype.
