Did I Miss Something?

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 1999)

I came out of "The Blair Witch Project" feeling as if I had missed the punch line to a joke. I had heard that was a contemporary "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Exorcist" and I decided that I had to see it. I wasn't very impressed. Sure there are some scary moments and watching the three students' predicament get slowly but surely worse provided some good psychological scares as well. However, I expected more. All the hoopla the media has made over this film just isn't warranted. Maybe I'll try my luck with "The Last Broadcast". Go see "Blair Witch" if you wish but if you come out feeling like you missed something, I warned you.
