Definitely worth seeing...one time is enough..It stays w/you

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 1999)

I saw this movie the week before the nation wide release. With the SciFi Channel and the www.blairwitch.com giving the background to the Blair Witch, it is easy to mistake this move as non-fiction. Even after I knew it was fictional, I was still enthralled with the movie. I left it forgetting that it was fake.
The shaking of the camera is not that bad, kind of like hearing traffic outside the door...you tend to phase it out. There are times, however, that I got a smirk at something that was supposed to be scary....AND there are times that something trivial scares the heebie jeebies out of me.
I definitely recommend viewing the www.blairwitch.com or the SciFi special before watching the movie. You will enjoy it more.
Overall I give this movie a lot of credit for its originality.
