The success of Blair Witch demonstrates the power of media hype.

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 1999)

The success of The Blair Witch Project demonstrates the power of media hype. These three verbally-challenged student filmmakers are among the least interesting film characters of the year. Their quest for the Blair Witch lacks thrills or terror, largely because of the lack of exposition on the subject. The nausea-inducing camera work is sophomoric and finally boring. I was ready to leave after the first half hour and had to fight to stay awake to the end of the film. I wish I had taken the
time I wasted on this film to see Eyes Wide Shut for the fourth time.
