a Gen-X, vidcap version of Hansel & Gretel

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 1999)

It was excessively hyped, but otherwise this movie gives the finger to all those slick, bloated, vacuous Hollywood products. The best special effects remain the imagination of the audience and convincing actors. The 3 young actors in Blair Witch are a contrast to an overgrown Barbie Doll likeJennifer Love Hewitt and a nincompoop like David Arquette (who in the TV prequel to Lonesome Dove played young Robert Duvall more like young Sonny Bono). The only thing I disliked strongly about Blair Witch was its Puritanical view of the forest as a place of witchcraft and evil.
