too much hype

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 1999)

It seems like the UK is the last country to see The Blair Witch Project, so I tried to avoid ALL the hype by not watching anything on it and making sure I saw it on the day of release and I still think there was too much hype!!
It was certainly different to most horrors, but I wouldn't say it was scary. It was more tense than scary. But it's definitely worth seeing.
One thing I found interesting was the fact that there's no soundtrack, when you think about it, can you imagine a film without music in the background when you get to a scary bit? I can't. But that's what's magical about Blair Witch...it works well enough without music.
8/10
