Scarier Than Any Splatter Movie Could Ever Be!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2000)

I went to see this movie without knowing very much about it. When it started I first was pretty bored: Why the hell did I spent my money on that? But then the film started to work on my psyche. By the end I was glued to my seat, cold showers running down my back. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT accomplishes all that without fancy special effects. In fact, you don't get to see anything scarier that an out-of-focus shot of blood stained teeth, and sometimes the screen simply goes blank for half a minute leaving only sound. The horror of the movie is created within your mind. And that's why it runs deeper than any violent splatter movie could ever do. The unknown actors do a fine job and attribute greatly to the believability of the film, which never would have worked starring Brad Pitt, for example. Go see for yourself.
