almost too good

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 1999)

The Blair Witch Project is without a doubt the most original and unique movie I've seen in a long time. Besides the bone chilling fear inflicted upon me, I left the theater seriously questioning whether the movie was real or not. In all good sense I know that it was just a movie, but since seeing it I've seen a documentary on the scifi channel all about the Blair Witch that insists that there really was three film students that disappeared while doing a documentary on the Blair Witch and whose footage was found. This film has two qualities that are outstanding in my mind, the believability of the characters and my disbelief, against my better judgement, that it was just a movie.
