ONE OF THE MOST DISAPPOINTING FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN

Rating: 1/10 (4 November 1999)

I watched the Blair Witch Project with a dozen other people, who also heard all the hype about this new horror flick and we were anticipating the big "scary" moment(s) to come. Guess what? It never came. Although the premise of the film is interesting...the film NEVER (at any point--except maybe the last two seconds of the film) lives up to its potential (you end up wondering why this movie even cost $60,000 to make). One needs to have a lot of unmotivated imagination (or be down right gullible) to find any part of this movie scary. The film is mostly comprised of the three characters arguing and fighting (the girl is especially annoying), them running around at night screaming (as if that's supposed to scare the viewers), sticks hanging on the trees and gathered stones, and of course the grand finale which leaves the viewers numb with utter disappointment. Again, the premise of the movie has (or had) a lot of potential but it nowhere near lives up to its hype...It is one of the most (if not the) boring movies I've ever seen and a total waste of time and money...Our group was so bored after watching the "Project" that we ended up watching a video of the Matrix afterwards...A generous 1 (out of 10) for the Blair Witch Project
