87 minutes of pure hell

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2002)

Every year, there is a film which somehow defies convention and makes a boatload of money. The Blair Witch Project, along with the likes of the Mummy movies, Titanic and Spider-man. Sometimes, the stupidity of the mainstream populous can make a film a winner, and this unfortunately seems to defy most conventions. I mean, this movie even impressed people at Sundance. What gives! I gave this movie 3/10, simply because it had one of the most innovative marketing campaigns of all time (I thought it was real when I learned the truth a couple months before the release), and it really was an interesting concept film. But then again, it lacks in so many other areas. I wish I could get my life back, and that seems to be the only power the Blair Witch has.
