What is all the fuss about?

Rating: 4/10 (9 December 1999)

I had heard loads about this film and to be honest this is yet another that that has simply failed to live up to all the hype. Full marks to the writers/directors for originality. It certainly feels real, but simply isn't scary at all, only managing to be moderately suspenseful at times. It is films like this that remind me just how good Ridley Scott's "Alien" really is. There we have a film that masterfully builds up the suspense from beginning to end. "The Blair Witch Project" simply doesn't come close. A major disappointment and a film that suggests to me that all the critics that raved over the film and made it a must see film are really a bunch of wimps! 4/10
