The Blair Witch Project: horror that makes you think!

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 1999)

This movie has been hyped up as the scariest movie ever made. Well, I wouldn't say scariest movie ever, but it was truly terrifying. Yeah, the movie kind of dragged a little in the middle listening to the 3 filmmakers bicker, but the ending scene was very terrifying. But, I liked this movie in a way because it made you think. There wasn't a scantly-clad babysitter getting slashed and gutted on screen, but 3 filmmakers lost in the woods getting terrified by things that go bump in the night. It's not what you see that scares you, but what's implied. Also, it's very intelligent. You need to pay attention to the interviews with the townsfolk and relate them to happenings in the movie.
Also, I must warn you that if you get motion sickness fairly easily, take precaution because the camera is almost nonstop shakiness and I felt kind of nauseous by the end.
If I had to pick between 1. horribly horrific scariness or 2. queasy, nauseous, I-think-I'm-gonna-barf scariness, I would pick the second. Very scary and gut-wrenching, because my imagination made things way more horrible than ever.
I won't be camping for a while, and my sister played a mean trick on me when she made that little stick-figure logo out of straw and stuck it in my bed while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I almost peed my pants! :)
