Largely dull

Rating: 3/10 (8 November 1999)

I cannot imagine why this film is being looked at as the template for "alternative" filmmaking in the next couple of years. To paraphrase Chris Rock, "This movie cost $50,000? Where the f-ck is the other $49,000?" The concept was good; the execution was poor.
Having more of a script, and presenting the "found footage" as part of a larger pseudo-documentary as was once part of the filmmakers' plans, certainly would have improved the work as a whole. But, then they wouldn't be able to sell you "The Blair Witch Project" and "Curse of the Blair Witch" separately.
Oh -- the last 30 seconds were rather frightening.
