These 3 Film Students Were The Ultimate Flunkies

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2014)

I'd confidently say that this film has got to be one of the biggest movie-swindles ever perpetrated on a completely unsuspecting audience.
With a devilishly clever publicity campaign to fuel its release, The Blair Witch Project (TBWP, for short) became the 2nd most successful "indie" film of all time, grossing nearly $250 million. Its success was surpassed in 2002 by My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Directed by Eduardo Sanchez, TBWP is presented as a documentary pieced together from amateur footage and filmed in real time. TBWP was shot in a matter of just 8 days and all of the dialogue was, pretty much, improvised.
TBWP tells the tale of 3 young Film Students who hike out into the Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland to film a documentary about a local legend known as The Blair Witch.
The viewer is told that these 3 students were never found, although their video and sound equipment (along with the footage they shot) was discovered a year later.
In my opinion, TBWP completely fails to deliver on all counts.
*Trivia Note* - Throughout the course of the story the word "Fukk" was spoken 154 times. With this film having a running time of 87 minutes, that averages out to about one "Fukk" every 45 seconds.
