$30, 000??? For this peice of crap.

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2000)

I was reading a review in the review archive for this film and I found a review that mirrored my thoughts exactly. People make such a big deal about how low budget this film was because it was only $30, 000 compared to Star Wars or something. Because people usually hear such big amounts of dollars when a big film is released they instantly think $30, 000 is nothing. Thirty grand is alot of money when you have nothing to show for it. What the hell did they spend $30, 000 on. Were all the trees marijuana? Were they staying in a luxury hotel? Did they go and buy a used car each? Were the scripts printed on gold? There is absolutley nothing to show for the $30,000 they spent on this film. Just some jerky camera work, alot of f words, the most boring 1 hour and 20 minutes of the viewers life and the biggest scam in hollywood history. Seriously think about what thirty grand would have been spent on. They were camping in the bush for 8 days for christs sake. This film has its good moments but is so startlingly unreal and fake it spoils it. If you were being chased by a force you could not see that was trying to kill you would you film it? I don't think so. Most normal people would be worrying about surviving. Thank you Blair Witch Project for finally convincing me that with alot of advertising you can turn a piece of crap into a phenomenom. Hell i might just go film the sequel right now. And i'm sure it wouldn't cost me thirty thousand.
