Not worthy of the hype or your money.

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 1999)

I went to this movie expecting to see a scary and suspenseful movie. I left the movie in disbelief. How could all of the critics give this movie rave reviews.
"THIS MOVIE WAS ABOUT AS FRIGHTENING AS A BUG'S LIFE!"
I disliked the Haunting also because it wasn't scary, but at least it had some good special effects. Blair Witch Project has nothing to offer for $8.00.
The hype around this movie was that it was original, scary as hell, and didn't rely on effects using your imagination instead. Well it wasn't scary (I brought my girlfriend who gets frightened very easily, she even jumped a few times at the Haunting and she said Blair Witch wasn't scary at all), its hard to invoke thoughts of sticks and stone piles and believe this is scary material.
After the disappointingly abrupt ending, I walked out of the film feeling cheated out of my money not by the film makers or actors, but by all of the critics that gave praise to this farce. They, in my opinion should all be given their pink slips.
Very, very, very disappointing.
