Truly Original!!

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 1999)

It's too bad that some people are calling this film the scariest movie ever. I didn't find it as scary as it was thought provoking and splendidly done. The film makers succeeded abundantly at making a film that was truly brilliant. It's too bad that Stanley Krubrick died, after "Eyes Wide Shut" he could have learned alot about film making from the makers of Blair Witch. The movie is so well done that when it was first shown the film makers had private investigators calling up and saying they wanted to re-open the case and find out what happened to the three film makers. They had to assure them that it was only fiction. I saw two films this weekend, Blair Witch and The Haunting, the former was brilliant, the latter was just another typical Hollywood formula film that depends on specail effects and computers to entertain. See the first movie but pass on the second.
