Absolute Rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2002)

The day Roger Ebert gave this movie four stars was the day I lost all respect for the man as a film critic. This film is an absolute piece of garbage. I'd rather stay home and watch my fish swim in circles than sit through this film again.
There was only one movie I've ever walked out of: FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. I tell you if THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT lasted a minute longer, I was ready to walk out. First of all, the way it was filmed with the bouncing camera was horrid. I was getting headaches throughout the whole movie. Second, it was not the least bit scary. There were actually people laughing in the theatre throughout the entire movie. I don't know which "horror" movie was a bigger comedy; this or THE RING.
You people say this was the scariest movie ever made. Obviously, this was made for the DAWSON'S CREEK little teenybopper audience who probably thinks SCARY MOVIE was scary. Go to your local video store and rent THE EXORCIST and THE SHINING, two TRUE horror classics.
I give THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT zero stars. (out of four)
