Who thought sticks could be so scary?

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 1999)

The Blair Witch Project made me thank my lucky stars that I live in the big city where the worst that can happen to me is getting mugged or shot. This is a tight (albeit slightly nauseating) thriller that is as inventive and frightening as anything out there and probably more original than anything in decades. It stuck with me for days after seeing it and I think I even offered to personally give some people their money back if they didn't like the film (although I'm just going to say I was drunk if they come to collect). It's refreshing to see and be scared by a flick that sports a bundle of sticks and piles of rocks and snot as major special effects. If you don't like this movie you are simply too jaded to live or are lying.
