I'm never going camping again!

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 1999)

Theatres should dispense Sominex with the purchase of every ticket to the upcoming summer release, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. After viewing the film, a good night's rest was a hard time coming. That, and I'm never going camping again. I imagine the camping business will take a turn for the worse after July 16th, when the film is released in theatres.
It's easy to see why BWP was a Sundance favorite and even the winner of the audience award at Cannes.
What makes the movie is the final scene where legend meets reality. Without giving anything away, Sanchez and Myrick tied the entire story together with a single camera shot. With that single shot, the filmmakers were able to frighten the most heroic of men, the most grounded of horror fans.
A must see for any fan of the horror genre, it is also a must see for any fan of a good story.
