Heather Donahue: "I'm so sorry you paid 9 bucks for this movie."

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 1999)

Blair Witch was a nice concept, nicely executed but there is NO way this is a masterpiece. It is a very very good student film, nothing more, nothing less. There was very little suspense and absolutley no payoff at the end. Why did the producers feel the need to tell us that the filmmakers were never heard from again right at the beginning of the film. HEllo!! You know from the get go that these people aren't going to make it out alive. So the only thing that is left is the terror that these people have to endure. But what all I saw were cheap campfire tricks designed to scare 10 yr olds. Once again I liked the concept, the free form nature of it, even the performances of the 3 leads but there is no terror on screen only a lot of complaining and jitery camera work.
