Wicked...

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 1999)

As I sit here and listen to "Josh's Blair Witch Mix", I can't help thinking back to earlier in the evening when I first got my chance to see this much talked-about film. It was kind of slow but funny in parts in the beginning. Towards the middle, the drama of the movie unfolds, showing the acting talents of the 'stars' of the film, and some of the creepiness starts to crawl up your spine, despite the occasional repetitiveness of the fighting and bickering that goes on. Then, the end comes out of nowhere hitting you right between the eyes like a hammer! Heather Donahue deserves an oscar in my opinion for an absolutely chilling and convincing performance. She is an absolute wonder. This movie will scare the living heck right out of you. Honest. When Heather apologizes late in the film, with tears in her eyes, you know fear. An unbelievable cinematic achievement (and thank your lucky stars that it is unbelievable...). See it at all costs! This is a MOVIE!
