interesting at times,but not one bit scary

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 1999)

boy was i sucked into the hype for this movie. i knew going in it wasn't going to be the scariest movie ever
made,but i thought i would be scared. i wasn't scared the
least bit. how easy do you people get scared? even though
the movie wasn't an inch scary it was interesting at times. like at the beginning about the myth of the blair
witch,and it had some humor at times. the people in the
theatre i was in just laughed at the whole movie. even at
the serious parts. the fear of the kids in this movie only
caused laughs among the people in the theatre. the ending
pretty much came out of nowhere. when it ended i was like
is that it? the movie like other people have said was like
watching someone's home movies. the movie could've been
scary if maybe they would've shown whatever was stalking
them. even if it was just a second it could've been scary.
the movie still could've been scary even without seeing
what was stalking them,if the sounds would've been as spooky as the hype says. i don't know why people are calling this movie original when it rips off another movie
called cannibal holocaust. plus i don't know whats so original about hearing the F word every 3 seconds either.
but still there is interesting parts of the movie. the
only part of the movie i felt cheated at was the so-called
beyond scary parts. i think a lot long time horror fans
won't like this movie. but critics and independent film
fans will like it. all in all not bad in the interesting
department,but falls flat in the so-called scary department. i give
the blair witch project **1/2 out of ****. my rating could've been higher if it was scary.
