Creepy, so creepy

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 1999)

This is not a horror movie about gore, despite the title it isn't even about the Blair Witch after their second day of filming. It's creepy because it deals with raw human emotion, paranoia that sets in after you can't take being scared anymore, people so afraid for their lives that the slightest crack of a twig sends the into a babbling rampage. This movie feels real, and that's why it's creepy.
I've read some comments here and I'm very surprised at other's ignorance. This movie is not supposed to be 35mm quality. It's supposed to look like 3 college students running through the woods with a camera turned on. Yes it's going to be shaky. It's supposed to look like a documentary, and it does. The scary part is not supposed to be the Blair Witch, so don't get disappointed when you don't see her. The movie is about the emotions and fears of the three students who desperately try to find there way out of the myriad of trees. Anyone who finds this movie dumb because it doesn't make you jump out of your seat, you don't get to see the Blair Witch, because it was shot on video, or just because you say it's dumb for these people to be running through the woods yelling for each other, I feel very sorry for you. Your ignorance has prevented your mind from realizing how truly creepy it is.
So much credit has to go to these actors. They all did such great jobs on conveying what it's really like to be scared to death. Their paranoia and hysteria added to the freakiness this film already had. I can only hope movie rolls come in quickly to these three. Hollywood could use a few more really talented people.
Finally, the last 10 minutes of the movie will forever be etched in my mind. Try going to sleep after seeing that. I know it took me forever just to be able to close my eyes last night!
