It sucked. It is exploitation. It is a stunt. It is crap.

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 1999)

I was so looking forward to The Blair Witch Project, due to all the "buzz" from film festivals, and from Roger Ebert. I had to buy a ticket a day in advance to get to see it here in Houston. The seating line was around the block, and the theater was packed.
The movie started out well enough, but by the halfway point I was beginning to see the movie as just ... depressing. Then morbid. Then pointless. And to top it off, the movie has no conclusion. Even Alien had a point. Even The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a satisfying conclusion. Same with Halloween.
This movie is nothing but exploitation--at or below the level of Friday the 13th. There is no sense of good versus evil, no sense of meaning. There is no depiction of human courage in the face of fear. There are just demoralizing depictions of human depravity and hopelessness.
Don't go. You're a mindless wonder if you like this movie. And you probably watch Fox's "Worlds Most Amazing Car Crashes," too.
