This insults my intelligence.

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2000)

I can't believe any of this. One, who would agree to take part in the making of this? And two, who would pay money to view one of the worst movies ever made? (That is strictly my opinion and I know that I am pretty much the only person that hates this so bear with me.)
When The Blair Witch Project first came out on video to rent, I did rent it. I had heard such rave reviews about it so I couldn't resist. Took it home, watched it, and almost hit myself for allowing me to stoop to such low standards. What can I say? It was definitely the most ridiculous film I have ever seen.
I just don't understand what they even attempted at making this. Yes, they were trying to recreate the real story by mixing in stuff with previous knowledge, but I don't think that this is something capable of being recaptured on tape.
Am I the only one that looks for smart, meaningful movies? I want to watch a movie that has some decent writing, an interesting plot, some REAL actors, and NOT a home video that I could have just as easily shot. Is today's society and film goers really this generic? I'm using generic because you couldn't ask for anything more simpler. This is a home movie with no point to it.
As to the people who claim this is frightening and/or scary, you have no idea of what scary is. After I saw this, every time I would hear someone say that they were so scared throughout the whole film, I just wanted to give them a copy of...well, something besides this that WAS scary.

A lot of words can be used to describe The Blair Witch Project and I can't think of any good ones. Just when I thought that it couldn't get any worse, it did. The ending was such a ridiculous let down. They go down to the basement, the camera drops, and poof! it's over.
Maybe if this film had some writing (besides the 'f' word), some talented actors, an interesting story to go off of, and just about everything else needed for a movie, it might stand a chance. This was ruined way before it was ever released at the theaters.
The only thing this movie gave me was a headache. The constant movement of the camera along with that so scary running scene through the dark was as poorly created as you can get. Another thing it made me want to do was yell at Heather telling her to wipe the damn snot off her nose.
