Don't feel bad if you root for the witch. I didn't

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2017)

Give "The Blair Witch Project" credit for its proto-viral marketing, but that's about it. This is a lousy horror movie.
Actually, I take that back, this movie *is* its the marketing campaign; a crafty PR pitch involving eyesore camera-work and incessant screaming. I mean, without the mystique of that urban legend, there's nothing here.
It's beyond me what exactly blew me away in the theater, but that obnoxious cast is torture. Maybe it's just an easy target for the found footage genre it helped ignite (a genre I can do without), but as an adult, all I really wanted to do was wring these kids' necks.
That's never good.
