A uniquely done classic!

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2001)

When my wife first approached me with the idea of going to see a film called "The Blair Witch Project",my immediate thought was,"The Blair what???".I heard nothing of this movie,no advertisements or anything,prior to going to the theater,so naturally I was skeptical.Normally,when I have a premonition that a film is going to be horribly bad,9 times out of 10,it turns out to be right.This time,however,I was pleasantly surprised. What we have here is a very uniquely done classic horror film that I think we can safely place in the same ranks as "Night of the Living Dead"(the original '68 classic).Just look at the similarities;Both were very cheaply done with a practically unknown cast.Most of the people I have spoken with about this movie either love it a lot,or hate it a lot,but one thing I look for in a good movie is uniqueness,and this movie definitely has it. Most of the people who like this movie are probably under the age of 20,but this is one 36 year old who loves "The Blair Witch Project" enough to have it in his video collection.
