All HYPE

Rating: 4/10 (27 August 1999)

The Blair Witch Project was not a scary movie. The hype surrounding it, far surpassed its merit. Granted, the acting is believable and the story is interesting, but the fear factor is not there. Three students hiking in a dry field with bad film techniques, does not make a great film. They could have at least chose some menacingly dark woods for a setting. However, the contrived stupidness of this movie succeeded in duping movie -goers out of millions.
