Overrated; Possibly the worst film I've seen all year

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 1999)

The Blair Witch Project is little more than a get-rich-quick scheme orchestrated by two young filmmakers. The characterization is non-existant; I never believed that these characters existed outside of the context of the film. It seems like a game of, "how many times can we get the characters to say the "f" word?" The only way this film could have escaped an R-Rating would be if the entire body of the film were exised.
Also, Heather keeps filming even during the fights, when she would have thrown the camera down and started yelling. Filming is such a mental task that it is impossible to do it while ruled by emotions.
But it just isn't scary. To scare people with implied things is great, but it requires more imagination than either of the filmmakes have.

It reminds me of the story where the king had someone make him new clothes, and when he went into town naked (thinking he had clothes) everyone loved it because they didn't want to be different. Then one person told the truth. With this film, everyone says they love it because they don't want appear out of the norm, and only a few people have spoken the truth
