A different kind of scare.

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 1999)

I heard a lot of hype about this movie.But that kinda spoiled the experience a bit for me.Since this film would have been way scarier if people thought it was real.Oh well. The movie was still pretty good.Its a whole different kind of scary movie,since the enemy ( enemies?) are never seen,not even a glimpse.So the audience keeps guessing untill the end,:was there actually a "Blair witch"?Or just some very sadistic killers that enjoyed playing games with their victims.And its cool that virtually no gore is used at all.
And thank God no cheap "jump at ya" scares.I was actually getting chills and gripping my seat at the dark screen,the darkness reminded me of when I was a child scared of the dark. ( This movie works great in a dark theater,but I'm not sure how it will work in a living room TV.Maybe too "Home-movieish?")
Its great what filmakers can come up with,when there is no money for flashy fx.The only thing missing is a slight glimpse of what was hunting them...a shadow, a shape...but nope,maybe it does work in the movie's adventage in the end for some people.But I wanted a bit more, but still a very cool idea.Great job guys!
