C***!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 1999)

I've seen many a film that's been overhyped. It usually results in a certain degree of disappointment, but more often than not these films do have some level of quality. However, I feel totally cheated having gone to see "The Blair Witch Project" last night, only to conclude that it was the dullest film I've seen in a long time. Did I miss something? Where were the scary parts? What was the point of watching 78 mins of jerky footage of 3 dumb students plodding through the woods, only to have them eventually go into an old house, hear a scream, run upstairs, run downstairs, see a figure facing the wall, then be confronted with the end credits??!!!!! Nothing happened!! I sat through this boring affair and literally NOTHING HAPPENED!!! I could've stayed at home and watched my houseplants grow for better entertainment value!!!
How this film has been compared to classics like "The Exorcist" and "The Omen" is beyond me. I also notice that it has been receiving high scores from other IMDb users - can someone explain what I missed here???
