Spooky, yes. But so is a future where these kids run things.

Rating: 4/10 (27 November 1999)

Two things I learned having watched "Blair Witch Project":
1. You don't need a big budget to make a creepy, scary movie
2. Unprepared, loser Gen X'rs are the new fodder for supernatural monsters

#1 is the only praise I have for the film, and #2 is why I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 30. Unless you can empathize with sullen, clueless 20-somethings, you won't find much to hang on to with "Project" other than wanting it to be over.
The idiots of the 50s and 60s horror films who "looked behind the door" or were babes who stayed home alone, or went into the spooky, old house are now the unprepared, give-up-really-easily, loser Gen Xers who go into the spooky old house.
I'm glad another indie film made a lot of money, but sorry I contributed to their success.
