Don't believe the hype

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 1999)

The question is this. Why was Blair Witch Project so successful? The answer is simple. Because there are a lot of people in the United States that are very stupid and gullible. Who went to see this thinking it was real. Believing that a snuff film would be a summer release. People say Hollywood insults their intelligence, but after the success of Blair Witch, I wonder if the mass audience has any intelligence to insult.

This is an amateurish gimmick movie. No more, no less.
I can only hope nobody wastes their time making a knock off version of Blair Witch, because as stupid as this MTV generation might be, I don't think you can fool them twice.
Note: Blair Witch was shot on video and 16mm. Not just video.
