Benihana, MS.X, Josh and Mr. Psyche's look at THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT
Folks, it seems a lot of people have been writing me asking if I know anything about THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT... And to just nip the question in the bud... I saw it back in late January, I reviewed it February 9th (Click here to read Harry's Review!) In the rating vote on that review, you'll see over 168 perfect '10' ratings. Why? BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE. Possibly the best horror film I have seen. And definately the best film I've seen thus far this year. Here is Moriarty's Review. And now.... on to the crew at hand, up first is Mr Psyche's review....
I'm a fairly rational human being. In fact, I would go so far as to
say that it takes quite a bit of factually-based information and
heavy-handed intellectual analysis of an ambiguous situation (such as
the meaning of life, the exsitence of a higher power, or the exact
ingredients of a Twinkie), where my own ration being can be swayed into
believing in something hard to grasp. All that changed tonight.
I don't care what you've read about THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, or who
has spoken to you about the hype surrounding it . . . this is the movie
to see this summer.
Not for the fact that you'll be glued to your seat for the entire
length of the film (which I loosely call BLAIR WITCH, as it is far more
than just a length of celluloid and remastered digital soundtrack)--
which you will; or for the idea that you will walk out of the theater
reeling from what you have seen, sick to your stomach, and mumbling over
and over: "It's not real, it's not real, it's not real"-- which, of
course, you will.
There is no "perfect" time to watch THE BLAIR WITCH, because any
time of day, any day and any mood will still create a sense of
foreboding from which you'll never escape. The movie crawls under you
psyche, beyond the superego you've nurtured for however many years to
carefully protect your cerebellum and neural processes from melting away
at pure fear. What you see is the very personification of evil, of
loathing, of doubt and guilt and intense fright. When the last credits
have rolled, you'll still most likely be sitting still, waiting for the
resolution you desperately need to come to you. There is none. There are
no answers, there are no happy endings. There's only the sense that what
you've seen was of the most primal essence, and that nothing can ever
surpass it . . . yet.
Naturally there will be a lot of progeny to this movie. A lot of
imitators who will claim to have perfectly duplicated the experience.
But seeing THE BLAIR WITCH for the first time is very much (and excuse
the crudeness of my example) like your first orgasm. The penultimate
climax that you experience can never be usurped. And as much as you'll
try for the rest of your life, there is never going to be a way to reach
beyond that very surge of endorphins and adrenaline into your brain and
body.
Everyone has it correct: Don't read anything about this movie. Don't
go to the website they have set-up (as well done as it is). Avoid all
images, commercials and paraphenalia associated with this experience.
Don't prepare yourself. Go on living your life, seeing your Austin
Power's sequels and convincing yourself that everything is O.K., because
this movie will change all of that.
Ambiguous enough for you? I certainly hope so. My only thought is to
encourage everyone to see this movie. It's one of those things that you
need to do, because it's never going to be done again-- not nearly as
well. And yes, THE HAUNTING will undoubtably be very engaging and
possibly frightening, and even THE SIXTH SENSE might cause some hairs on
the back of your neck to come to attention-- but the BLAIR WITCH is
going to do so much more for you. It's a fucking rollercoaster through
hell-- and no return ticket.
Have a nice summer. Oh, and go backpacking, hiking and camping as
much as you can before you see this movie. I guarantee that you'll never
want to do it once you've seen it.
Sincerely,
Mr. Psyche
And here is Josh... who somewhere in the world is shivering in the dark...
Hi Harry... I dont care what you call me. I have to talk about this
movie. I have been reading your site for over a year now and never had
a desire to write you, I just enjoyed watching this site and occasionaly
read about your little parties and get togethers..... Okay Harry, you're
part of my life, happy now?
I don't want to say where or how I saw this movie, but I had the
privlige of seeing The Blair Witch Project and I HAVE TO SHARE MY
THOUGHTS WITH SOMEONE. There are not many movies that I do deep
research into. In fact, the only movies I have ever read numerous
articles about are The Exorcist and Poltergeist because, they
psychologicly had me hooked. I was hooked on the Blair Witch Project
the second I was going to a movie and I saw a poster that just said, "
In October of 1994 three student filmakers disapeared in the woods near
Buriksville, Maryland while shooting a documentary.... a year later
their footage was found." Thank God The Blair Witch Project has a very
cool and extensive site. It made me really want to see this film. And
I wanted to see it as soon as I can.
Always getting what I want, I got to see it tonight. I had the honor of
sitting in the dark all alone in my house. Just my cat and dog with
me. This movie is special. A movie like this hasent come my way
since... and I dare say it, The Exorcist. Harry, this movie got in me.
The poster says what the movie is about. But it is the art of the
filmmakers that make this movie work. 1 hi-fi 8 camera and one 16mm
camera. 3 college students. I can honestly say that if you were able
to take Dr. Evils time machine and go back 5 years and give it to the
press, they would think it was real. I WAS THERE HARRY. I was with
Josh, Mike, and Heather as they started this little happy documentary
all the way till their camera was shut off. I have never been in a
movie before besides that opening scene in Saving Private Ryan. And if
the filmamkers of this movie could just see what I wrote... I just
compared them to Stephen Speilberg... my idol was compared with amature
filmakers.
This movie will be the biggest hit of the year. People will see it and
tell their friends and their friends will tell their friends etc. This
movie was like those old homemade birthday movies you make and you let
the 8 year old kid be the cameraman. Ususally I would say that is a bad
thing, but in this case, it made it all more real. SHIT HARRY!!!!!!! I
cant get this movie out of my head. I got one hour of sleep last night
and I have to work all day tomm... I'm not going to be able to sleep.
This movie is going to haunt me all day.
The screening I saw was the 80 minute version. When I first put it in I
thought I would feel incomplete, but I have to say that The Blair Witch
Project is perfect the way it is. I would like to see the original cut,
and maybe one day the powers that be will let me have the honor, but not
tonight.
You have to excuse my spelling, english etc... it's late and I had to
share with someone about this movie. If you actualy did take the time
to read this review out of the 400 emails you get everyday, by all means
feel free to post this, I would love to for everyone to know how this
movie impacted me... Someone who has seen just about everything there is
to see out there. I would like to thank the crew of the Blair Witch
project for making me feel the way I feel right now.... It is a feeling
you dont get often and a feeling you can only take every ten years or
so.
BTW: I WILL NEVER GO CAMPING AGAIN!!! EVER
Josh
Now it's MS. X's turn...
Hey Harry. This is my first time writing in to your site, however I check it every day and am a big fan! Ever since you posted the trailer link to
The Blair Witch Project I have been fascinated by this film. I would get chills every time I would watch the trailer and I was sure to show
everyone it. I became intrigued because it just seemed like a fresh and brillant idea for filmaking especially during a time of lame horror pics!
Anyway, I found sites on the web devoted to the film and found out as much as I could and on one site I found that the film was opening and
closing the Florida Film Festival in Orlando. I live in Tallahassee and my boyfriend and I decided to get tickets to the final showing as soon as
tickets went on sale. We were so excited and from all we had heard, frankly, we were a little nervous about seeing the movie since everything
we read said it was literally one of the scariest movies of all time! We never fully realized the magnitude of this film until we started talking to
others about seeing it and all of them congratulating us just for getting tickets and from those telling us how great and scary it is yet they had
not even seen it! I'm telling you the word-of-mouth is unbelievable for this film.
We got to the theater at 10:30 for the midnight show, we were
the first ticket holders in line but there was already a line of 122 people hoping for stand-by tickets. After we had ordered our tickets I began
bracing myself for sleepless nights afterwards and wondering if I would be able to camp in the woods ever again (I'm not a huge fan of horror
film because if done correctly they will scare the begeezus out of me, but I was just so damn curious about it that I had to see it!). I am also glad
that I did, this is a brilliant and utterly creepy movie! I believe the execution of the film with the two different cameras worked well. Some think
it's annoying and takes away from the scenes but I think it keeps it more realistic, considering I don't even believe I would still be holding the
camera (it would have been left long ago) if I were in their shoes!
The film is totally psychological and those are the ones that leave room for
much elaboration in the viewer's imagination and this one is no exception! The actors did a wonderful job and probably gave some of the
purest performances I have ever seen. The final scene is the clincher, it is terrifying and exciting and completely and totally eerie! I left the
theater thinking "oh that wasn't as bad as I thought" I really thought I was going to be scared out of my skin. However that was before we
began to talk about the film and I began replaying certain scenes in my head, especially the final shot before the camera goes off, and that is
when I realized just how frightening the film is. I reluctantly went to sleep and all through the night found myself waking up to what I thought
was giggling outside our hotel room door! Anyone who has a chance to see this movie better run to the theater, if for nothing else go for the
unbelievable performances of these three actors. Heather Donohue (sp?) provides one of the most bone chilling scenes in the entire movie.
We were able to sit in on a Q&A with the directors and producers after the film which was really cool, they have really done a good thing for
the horror genre right now. Some people have compared this film's scare-factor to The Shining, Exorcist, and Silence of the Lambs; I however
was not creeped out by Shining, or Silence yet a little spooked by Exorcist, given that...this movie creeped the hell out of me. Furthermore I do
believe, as one had explained ("it will do for camping what Jaws did for swimming"), I will not be going camping for a long, long time. Thanks
for a great site!
If you even do use this you can call me Ms. X.
And here's Benihana's look....
I'm a first time scooper. I'm not sure if anyone has already sent in their
impressions of the Blair Witch Project(for that matter, I'm not even sure
when it opens nationwide), but here's mine.
Naturally, it scared the living crap out of me. I mean, that's the goal of
the whole genre. But it was the way in which it did so that really counted,
preying on the audience's ability to get caught up in a picture. The
cinematography really made the viewer feel as though he or she were there
with the group, and as though we were experiencing the same feelings they
were.
And best of all, there were no cheap thrills, no quick startles which are
the hallmark of stupid horror flicks. This was all masterfully crafted
throughout the length of the film, which is not excessive- although in some
parts it seems to drag on, in the end it all adds to the tension. It is a
horror movie that you really have to focus on, to absorb, rather than simply
eat popcorn and jump every couple of minutes at some overblown gore scene.
Put simply, refreshingly chilling. I'm sitting here alone at the computer
now, right after having seen it, and I find myself looking around my
shoulder in my empty house. This bodes well for the movie as far as I can
tell.
The bottom line- check this out as soon as you can, but go in expecting to
pay attention. It's not that the movie requires memorization or meticulous
attention to detail, but if you don't soak in all of the sights and sounds
you will probably lose some of the general effect. The scariest movie I have
yet to see, bar none.
call me Benihana.
Thanks.
p.s. Don't plan any hiking trips through the woods anytime shortly after you
see this one- trust me.

doh!
any idea on a uk release schedule? I'm hyped about this film and have been reading about it since January, but there's no word of it at all in the UK press.....well, Sight and Sound magazine said it SHOULD get played at festivals, but there's been nothing else.
help me somebody!!! -
It seems there has been a lot of slagging off around this site lately. I don't get around much so I don't know how common this is but: reviews like these are the reason I like this site and the internet in general. It's all about enthusiasm, excitement and anticipation. Now I can look forward to a horror film which will kick me out the door without my protective cloak of irony. And I like it! Not a profound p.o.v. but there you go.

...means SUB-ultimate, next to ultimate, next to last. It doesn't mean "really really ultimate."
If "Blair Witch" is a PENULTIMATE experience, then there must be something better out there...

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i LIVE IN VENEZUELA, AND THIS COUNTRY IS FILM IGNORANT!! THEY WON'T EVER SHOW IT HERE!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!! Oh yes, and i'll never go camping again, what's with these dudes? -
The thing that makes this movie so intense is the What factor. It has been said that the better your imagination, the more this work will rattle you. I didn't sleep the night after I saw it. Thinking about it still bothers me some. The most proper word for this film is disturbing. It eats at the edges of your psyche. I have friends who did not get weirded out until days afterward when they would see something out of the corner of their eye that reminded them of the movie. I just hope it signals a new era for Horror -- and era without chainsaws and shots of victims as they die.

What to see on July 16th? EYES WIDE SHUT or THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT? Hmm, maybe both. Now although I sneaked a peek at the official website (sorry, I couldn't resist), and have been reading (and writing) about this at AICN for oh, I'd say seven months now, I STILL haven't seen any actual footage from the movie, and don't plan to either. I know what it's about, the story behind the making of it, etc. BUT!! I still expect to have the bejeezus scared out of me in the theater. I refuse to see any footage (be it on Siskel & Ebert or any other movie review show) before seeing the movie. I want to go in with a fresh set of eyes, and come out with the wind knocked out of me. Yeah. That's the ticket. My only problem now is worrying about the cheap knockoffs that may come in BLAIR WITCH'S wake. I shudder to think that in the next year or so, we'll be barraged with endless BLAIR WITCH-style ripoffs with lame tag lines like "Scarier than THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT" or "If you thought THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was scary..." Sorry. Like the cereal box says, folks, the original and best.
-
...and yet little, if any, of the "official" mainstream movie press seems to talk about it at all! In the Entertainment Weekly summer preview issue, it barely rated a two-paragraph sidebar, for instance. How can this movie, which has generated word-of-mouth buzz as no independent film has since, I don't know, "Pulp Fiction"?, be so ignored by the mainstream media? It goes without saying that Blair Witch is going to make huge profits -- I think it may have made back the cost of the Super 8 film from the Sundance screenings alone. But I think it's going to make megabucks, and take everyone at EW and Premiere by surprise.
-
Plus, I can already see the SNL parody -- "This is a true story (a true story)... of three strangers... picked to go into the woods... and have their lives taped... to find out what happens when people stop being polite... and start being driven insane and stalked to death by an evil witch... The Blair World."
-
Well thanks for that. You may not like the film, but after reading through various well reasoned thoughts on the movie - all of which recommend people avoid spoilers for maximum enjoyment - along comes a huge ANGRY CAPTIALISED POST that proceeds to reveal the end of the film. Tosser.
-
Actually, my first orgasm wasn't that great.
I was about 12, I was sound asleep, and when I woke up I thought I had wet the bed. -
You might wanna turn your capslocks off next time. Oh, i'm sorry, I appear to be crediting you with some intelligence. My mistake....
Anyway, I digress.(SPOILER AHEAD)
I would like to know if this film is as scary as everyone says it is, EVEN AFTER you found out that the footage isn't real by mistake (as I did). Is it still as scary, or did people find themselves thinking it was just made up?
Oh, and Harry, do you have any idea if it'll be released in the UK? I can't seem to find anything anywhere on a UK release..... -
Congratulations Eighties....you have just been added to my revenge list you fucking wanker...somewhere between Jar Jar and Leo. I'm glad I know what happens at the end of this seemingly wonderful movie now you hate-filled spoiling whiny bastard.
-
Harry - ban Eighties immediately, please.

Has everyone heard about the lawsuit which might screw up the re
by rodzilla
First let me address the issue of "Eighties," and get that out of the way. Thanks for the spoilers warning, man. I'm sorry you feel this is the "worse" movie you ever saw, but your attempt to "save" the rest of us from a horrible experience by revealing the ending is shameful. Apparently you have no background in watching independent or low budget films, so I reccomend that you stick to multi-million dollar Hollywood epics. This film IS NOT a Hollywood product. I guess the hype behind it is making people think it is. Anyway, yesterday Cinescape's site and others posted a news article about the "Blair Witch Project" film makers getting sued for profits from their old boss. Apparently they worked for this producer to pay the bills while putting together the film, and used some of his equiptment ( sound & editing) at work to finish the film. Just like most of us use the copy machine and computer for our own purposes! I'm sure this producer didn't care what they did, because I'm sure he thought their attempts at a home made film would fail anyway. Then, suddenly, the film gets big buzz and gets picked up by a major studio for release. Now he cares! His employees have long since left for greener pastures, but he sees an opportunity for a big paycheck, so he says since they worked for him during the making of the film that he technically owns the film and demands to be named president of their film company and get on screen producer credit. He is also suing for a large chunk of the film's profits and a huge ammount for use of his equiptment. This is typical Hollywood behavior, and forwards my belief that most executives earn money not through film projects, but through law suits. This really pisses me off, and it may effect the release of the film. Does anyone out there know any details about this? If the real film makers are out their, feel free to speak up!
-
Harry,
I just want to say that Eighties has just spoiled my experience with watching the Blair Witch Project. He has just given up the ending to all of us without giving us any spoiler warnings. Screw him!!! That's the last time I bother to read what he has to say. -
Heyall! Well, I've seen the movie with several skeptics and I'll tell you this... (no spoilers)... It scared the shit outta EVERYONE! Even afterwords, days after, some of them have trouble coming home late at night. Talk about psychological thrillers! Blair Witch Reaches deep within you and grabs that carnal fear of the unseen and unknown and turns out inside and out. May not work for everyone but I'll sure as hell be watching it again with another batch of friends!
-
Eighties obviously had his (or her) head stuffed well up his (or her) rectum for the end. After you see it, you be laughing at the dweeb. Do not consider Eighties a spoiler. And I'd like to add that this movie cannot be spoiled. I disagree with previous people about the web site. It makes it a lot creepier for many people if they've seen the site beforehand. Someone told me the ending, beat for beat before I saw it. The ending is only part. EVERY scene in this movie is a part of generating the Blair Witch Effect. Focusing on scenes in the movie is like trying to decide what the best measure is in Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
-
Not only was that SUCH an intelligent and thoughtful post, Eighties, but you even learned how to use the Caps Lock key! Who says chimps aren't trainable?
-
Very disappointing movie. One of the worst I have ever seen.
I had looked forward to attending a free preview of this movie, but unfortunately, was very disappointed. This movie is contrived, and on par with the types of ghosts stories children tell around a campfire. It was over acted. The ending was ridiculous. I have never been to a movie where nearly the entire audience ended up mocking the characters after the movie like they did at this showing. I would not recommend this movie at all. -
Hey, Diabolo, chill out, the film'll reach our shores in October. For further info, go to the website, www.haxan.com
Now, Eighties, stop breathing through your mouth for a second, it's distracting ! Look down at your keyboard. On the left (it's the side the arm you wear your wristwatch on) you'll find a rectangular key. A rectangle is kinda like a long square. This has "Caps Lock" written on it, maybe someone can point it out for you.
Press it, pal........please ! -
Get someone to explain the difference between contempt and hatred to you !
-
If you would rather see "Point of No Return" than "La Femme Nikita", Blair Witch may not be for you.
If you can't stand films that leave unanswered questions at the end, Blair Witch may not be for you.
If you get upset when a film doesn't follow the strict "30-60-30" rule of plot design as is taught in script writing 101, Blair Witch may not be for you.
If you would rather see the new version of Psycho than Hitchcock's original, because Hitchcock's version is in black and white, Blair Witch may not be for you.
If you want your experience of a film to be neatly encapsulated within the boundaries of the time you spent sitting in front of the screen, Blair Witch may not be for you.
YOU SEE, the Blair Witch Project achieves what it does not through what it shows, nor what it tells, but by what you as an audience have already built into your minds as assumptions based on how this film is constructed.
The radio play that Orson Welles put on in the 30's, "War of the Worlds", was as infamous as it was for the same reason-- it's audience assumed the performance was real because it was a performance done with radio as an element, not a performance done FOR radio.
The Blair Witch Project wouldn't be the success it is if the filmmakers were making an independent film masquerading as a documentary. What the filmmakers did was they staged an event, and as an element had the cameras running. When the footage was edited together as it was, the effect was that we are watching evidence, not watching a performance.
And evidence, even when you know it is fabricated evidence, can get past the defenses you've built up against performances.
For those of you who have seen "Henry: Portrait of a serial killer"-- I liken this film to the sequence that you see in Henry that is shot on video.. THAT sequence is one of the most disturbing, for the very same reasons.
So... yes, I can see why "Eighties" hates this film. I would have not liked it nearly as much had I not been able to THINK about it after I left the theater. Don't be suprised if many, many others who see Blair Witch have the same feelings as this person. How ironic that he calls us sheep.
........................"no flesh shall be spared" -
I'm sorry, but did anyone else notice an eerie ... CONSISTENCY to the format of each of these reviews/press releases? I can just see the P.R. executives now: "Okay, desperate and starving interns, write to Harry from separate e-mail addresses and be sure to hit the following points: (1) Scariest movie you've ever seen; (2) compare it to lots of classic horror/directors; (3) lead in by kissing Harry's ass; and (4) be sure to end with a variation on "P.S. I'm never going camping again!" Of course, I could be wrong about this, but damn... My P.R. Bullshit Detector went off big-time reading these. I'd loved to be proven wrong, because if these reviews are legit then perhaps we've got a fine film here.
-
....This P.R. staph infection seems to have spread to the Talk Backs. Young readers, keep an open mind -- before studio flacks make it up for you.
-
he's right about one thing................Jar Jar rules!!!!! yeah! What is it now? It's cool to hate Jar Jar? geez, half of you out there at least like the Binks, c'mon admit it, no really come on
-
There has been a real shortage of horror films... I would easily pay $100 just to see one movie that could do to me what this movie seems to have done to those who have reviewed it. Turns out that out local little theatre is showing this picture on 7/30 - looks like it is time to round up my fellow film geeks and check this one out. I have a friend who got a copy of this bootlegged off the net, he said it scared the hell out of him and he is not the type to be easily scared. He offered to show it to me but I think that after reading this I will turn it down for the real deal in the theater. We sit through movies like hellraiser laughing our asses off at the ridiculousness of those films - hopefully this one will remind us of what horror films are supposed to be: frightening.
-
Currently, I am reliably informed that BWP is due for October 29th release in the UK... but surprise, surprise there also two other films competing for that date......(a very long awaited release of) John Carpenter's Vampires and Lost Souls. I would imagine at least one of those will move from the prized Halloween date which saw packed houses for a re-issued "Exorcist"
-
If any has seen the 1979 Italian horror film Cannibal Holocaust, you will know that this film is not all that original. Same story, and scary as hell.
-
When is this damn movie coming out!? I've been waiting for 6 months--ever since I saw the 3 second clip on ( )&Ebert. If you're hurting for the experience, because SOME DESKMONKEY IS DRAGG'IN HIS FEET, or just want more--rent Ruggero Deodato "Cannibal Holocaust" I'm sure the filmakers saw it more than once--Not for the faint of stomach/heart/head

I saw the movie on video a few months back. The whole "hand held camcorder" look lent itself very well to being watched on the small screen. I have a feeling that when the movie is released to video that it'll be a big cult movie and many drinking games will follow. SPOILER STARTS HERE.... The reason I think the film works so well is a combination of the story and the acting. Who among us can't relate to being lost in the woods? It's such a simple thing. It's like people always say about AMMITYVILLE or POLTERGEIST... the second the house goes "GET OUT!" most of our @$$es would be out the door. But can we all relate to getting lost in the woods? I know I can. The acting is great too. The scene where Heather breaks down and keeps saying "it's not the same log it's not the same log" that was great. Their desperation and gradual descent into whackiness is very believable. OK SPOILER IS OVER YOU CAN LOOK NOW... So that's my 2 cents. I can't wait to see the movie on the big screen tho with the theater quality sound. Sound is a big deal in this movie, so that should be great. BTW, like those other people said... I am NEVER gonna go camping again... this movie is more traumatic than my 3 years as a Boy Scout combined.
-
I have yet to see this movie and chose to follow the advice not to expose myself to info about the film and go in fresh. I came across Eighties little hissy fit and luckily stopped reading right after he started bitching about the ending of the film. I later read in other peoples comments that he totally gave away the movie ruining it for anyone who was unfortunate to read on.
So if you come across his little diddy I advise you to quit after the first ignorant sentence which isn't to hard considering the child like tone of tantrum.
Whether the movie ends up being freaky ass great or so-so I still like to know that cry babies like Eighties won't ruin everything for people like me by posting spoilers with no warning! -

I agree with DJmute, but sadly reading Eighties piece was like w
by rodzilla
--you don't want to see it, or know anything like Eighties could ever really happen, but you just can't help take a look. He typed his opinion in all caps, like it was REALLY IMPORTANT. You couldn't miss it. Oh well, I'm sure Eighties just loves it that he ruffled so many feathers today. He's finally getting all that attention his parents never gave him.
-
This is one tough post-o-rama though!
-
And NO, i don't work for the friggin filmmakers. cross my heart.
It was just a very creepy, unsettling, and very well-done work, and one of the most inventive bits of film i've seen in a long time.
The camcorder shots are so real, it's like watching home movies of someone you know. The dialogue, the tone... i know these people. i can't think of any movie in any genre that had characters as believable as the three leads in this flick. After so many "I Know/Scream/Halloween VII"s, you get jaded to the horror genre.
I watched Blair Witch knowing barely anything about it, just the title and that it was about some filmmakers who run afoul of an evil spirit. That barely covers the intensity of it.
As for those upset with Eighties, lemme tell you, knowing the plot doesnt make it any less intense. I got the willies just as bad the second time through. and unless my copy had a different ending, i don't even know what the fuck he's talking about in one of those lines, so feel free to happily ignore his sad little ramblings.
the others i saw above who also had complaints (JMS Power, maybe?), again, ignore em. If they werent scared by this movie, it's because they have no imagination, because that's exactly what the movie preys on.
end of story, and i can't wait to see whether this becomes a hit or lingers in cult obscurity. Damn, i wish i could find a longer cut and see what else was in it (mine is 87 minutes; anyone have one more than that?)
-
as a cruel psychological experiment, a friend loaned the tape to a third person and we both told her there was some debate as to whether it was real or not. It'll be interesting to see how she reacts to it. : )

He was wrong and yet it was obvious to me that he was spilling the beans on the plot. I kept reading only because I already saw the flick. Never read all-cap bitchin.' As for the movie, I liked it though I don't think it lives up to the hype. Judging by the posts this is turning into a love it or hate it kind of movie. AND SPOILER COMING, DON'T READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, TURN BACK, TURN BACK: I disagree with those who think the film doesn't give answers to what happens in the end. Look at that final shot more closely and think back to the stories told to the film makers earlier on in town. And I agree with the poster who was disappointed that we never see the Blair Witch, I know I was but to be fair, the film makers risked the film becoming cheesy if they did show her/him/it.

Eighties, here is a little quote from L.A. STORY I'd like to sha
by the black adder
"I don't think you realize how unattractive hate is."
Oh and by the by fellow posters, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers! -
If you've seen it, the real 'event' movie of the summer, you don't need to be the Amazing Creskin to make this prediction. Everybody, women especially, young women very especially, will see this movie. Then... they will see it again... and again... and again... and again. Kids will sneak into it. People with heart conditions will pass out during it. And they will come back for more. The Blair Witch Cult will eclipse the Star Wars/Trek fan groups. And by the end of the summer, not only will every campground in North America be vacant. The Blair Witch Project will have made box office history. So why will it piss so many people off? It was shot for roughly $5,000. That's less than what you can buy a used car in Hollywood for.

EIGHTIES CAN LICK MY BALLS...1...2...3....GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKER
by nastee_flembot
I visited the Blairwitch web site and saw that they built up a mythology to the Blair Witch and even saw that everything, including the parents grief was faked. I realized that if this movie would of been shot ala Candyman,than maybe it wouldn't be all too good. Ofcourse I haven't seen it yet.

Just thought I'd mention this fact due to the rampant piracy of the film online....
The bootleg that's floating around was a temporary version sent out to film festival's last October, and is not complete: the sound (one of the main keys to how well the film works) is not mixed at all, and there are several added scenes in the final print to be released on July 16th.
I respect the fact that so many people want to follow Harry's advice after seeing the film at Sundance regarding limiting your exposure to the film, but if you are otherwise possessed to dig a bit, check out our website at http://tbwp.freeservers.com/main.html for more info.
Thanks for your time, all!

HARRY, WHY DID YOU BAN ME WHEN I WAS ONLY EXPRESSING MY OPINION, AND SINCE THIS IS AMERIKKKA, I HAVE THAT RIGHT? IS IT CUZ I'M BLACK? IS IT THAT I'M FROM OAKLAND AND I NEED TO BE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE TO CONTRIBUTE MY FEELINGS ABOUT A FILM? OR DID THESE DICKHEADS CONVINCE YOU THAT MY NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS TOO NEGATIVE? DON'T TELL ME THAT PEOPLE CAN'T EXPRESS THEMSELVES ON THIS FUCKING BOARD. I KNOW THAT SOME ASSHOLES OUT THERE ARE HATERS, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WILL BE TOO THRILLED TO KNOW THAT YOU BAN NEGATIVE REVIEWERS! ARE YOU A COMMIE, WHAT DO I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU? I GOT MY CAPS BACK ON YOU PUSSY NERDS. ANYWAY TO THAT IDIOT THAT SAID THE MOVIE WAS SHOT FOR $5,000, ARE YOU AN ASSHOLE OR WHAT. SINCE WHEN DO VIDEO TAPES COST $5,000? I WAS AT THE FILMMAKERS LITTLE SEMINAR AND SOMEONE ASKED HOW THEY DID IT. THEY REPLIED THAT THEY BOUGHT THE VIDEO CAMERA AT CIRCUIT CITY AND RETURNED IT 8 DAYS LATER. BUT THEN HE WENT AND CONTRADICTED HILMSELF BY SAYING THAT THE MOVIE COSTED THE PRICE OF A GOOD S.U.V., WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. THAT PIECE OF SHIT COULDN'T HAVE COSTED MORE THAN $20 BUCKS OF VIDEO TAPES. ALL YOU HATERS ARE A BUNCH OF WIMP PUSSY NERDS AND YOU PROBABLY ARE SOME P.R. MUTHA FUCKERZ THAT WORK FOR ARTISAN. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TELL THE PEOPLE THAT THIS PIECE OF FAT BASTARD CRAP IS GOOD. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALSO COMMENTING AND SAYING STUPID SHIT WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE. I GUESS THEY ALSO FALL INTO THE SHEEP CATAGORY. AND TO THOSE CLEVER INDIVIDUALS THAT CALL ME CHIMP AND SIMILAR NAMES....YOU ARE VERY INTELLIGENT TO COME BACK AT ME LIKE THAT. YOU GOT TO BE SOME PUSSY ASS, WHITE NERD, NEVER KISSED A GIRL, X-FILE LOVING, BUNCH OF FAGGOTS TO COME AT ME LIKE THAT. HERE I AM CALLING YOU SHIT EATING, FAGGOT SUCKING, CUM SHITTING QUEERS, AND THE BEST YOU CAN CALL ME IS A CHIMP! WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE FROM? CONNETICUT? IT'S ALL ABOUT EAST OAKLAND BIIIIAAAATCH. YOU ARE ALL NIGGA HATIN, KLAN MEMBERS TOO. FUNNY HOW THE BLAIR WITCH RESEMBLED A KLAN MEMBER IN UNIFORM. FUCK YOU HATERS, AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT THINK THIS MOVIE SUCKED.....BRAVO, YOU ARE THE INTELLIGENT ONES:) HAVE A NICE DAY! EIGHTIES. E.S.O. XIV.

Had the privilege of seeing Blair Witch a couple of months ago, and my hats are off to the filmmakers for creating a truly scary and engaging film without blood, cheap scares, creepy music or SFX of any kind. Those who want to see Jason hacking folks up with a weed whacker will be disappointed and probably bored, but I think this film has something for the vast majority of jaded filmgoers who are sick and tired of all the "I still think I might know why you screamed the summer before last part III"-type ripoffs.
As for the accusations that Harry and his reviewers are somehow in thrall to Haxan or Artisan, all I can say is that having seen the movie I had a very similar response. Is it all that strange that they were all impressed by the same elements of the film? And if the studio wants to pay me for hyping this movie on AICN and elsewhere, well, I'll be happy to accept any remuneration they wish to send...
And as for Eighties, well, it's nice to know that the Internet remains a forum for the mentally deranged, the sociopathic and the all-caps screamin', racist-callin', xenophobic, paranoic nutjobs of the world. At least it keeps 'em off the streets. -
This is how I describe the BWP. Experiencing your first orgasim? What the hell is wring with you people? Terrifying? Yea, maybe 10 to 12 munutes of the entire film..........but c'mon people!!!! The filmmakers already established that NOTHING was going to happen during the day scenes, so when we are watching our characters during the day......we are BORED!!!!!!!!! Nothing is going on, but them fucking around and moving the camera in a fashion that made me want o throw up. The NIGHT SCENES...........yea they were cool...I'll give them that. I like their attempt, but it falls EXTREMELY SHORT to the CLASSIC HORROR FILMS back in the day when Horror had respect. I think BWP should be thanking the piece of shit films like I Know what you did.....Urban Legend, Carrie 2, Bride Of Chucky because today's audience are so used to seeing shit up there on the big screen when it comes to horror films, that as soon as they see something like fucking stick figures in the woods they jizz all over themselves.......I'm sorry guys, but its going to take a lot more than that for me to actually say that this is the scariest film I've seen in a long time...........now that is a crock of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have never seen ANYTHING as make-me-want-to-see-it cool as all the stuff I've seen for BWP. An added note is the fact that as a transplanted Baltimorean (who loves camping, or did... )the localness of the film gives it that "Hey, I've been there..." ambiance. Kind of like when I was in Memphis when they were shooting The Firm.. ah, memory. But anyway... This movie promises to scare my panties into a twist, and from what I've read about it so far, it seems that promise will be kept.
*waiting impatiently for release!*

Ed "theLatinHunk" Sanchez posted here & no one noticed (except me)!! Ya know I luv ya, dude! Saw ya on "Entertainment Tonight" last night - BLAIR was the cover story! Only a few more days till I actually get to see your epic & my fingernails are already chewed down to the nubbies...guess I'll need an Extra-Large bucket of popcorn for the flick! What's this about the lawsuit, Eddie?? Please post again as to whether or not this is true - you know we're all behind you guys! Your poetic fan from Beantown, yeah, me!
-
The post above from e. is not from Ed Sanchez. Just from a very big Blair Witch fan whose name happens to start with the same letter.
-
Thanks, Vanja, but I already figured that out by going to the A.&e. site (not A&E Cable Channel as some think). However, if & when the delightful Eduardo should chose to post here, I still hope he somehow answers the question about the lawsuit coz that really sucks bigtime! Hope it's just an urban legend or cyber hoax, for his & Dan's sakes. BTW, Eric should stop signing with a small "e" - that's Ed's thing! Too confusing for the rest of us Blair Cult members.

Always looking for the ulimate in psyche highs...."the great mind-fuck"....if you will.I found it in this film.
Viewed a bootleg copy downloaded on computer last night with 6 friends (all of us Witches)have talked about this myth or truth topic long before the movie was able to be bootlegged...never mind premier in the theatres.
Considering ourselves open minded, being witches and all....this movie does alot to question what 5 (or 8 if you believe it is not true)days of freezing, starving and being pshycologically tortured in the woods can do to sane people....even if they are actors. Or are they?
And just for the fact of knowing the lengths some will go to at the risk of their own sanity for the sake of the almighty dollar or acting recognition....this movie takes the cake....and literally the whole crew is laughing....all the way to the bank.
Makes me wish I could be as imaginitively powerful.
For the ultimate psychological "mind-fuck" experience it offers alone.....SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Since the copy I viewed was only 87 minutes long as opposed to the 131 minute movie premier vesion...I can't wait to see what tasty psyche-bending tidbits the extra added footage will yield. Going tomorrow night with company not so open minded as my fellow witch friends....it will also be interesting to get the different views. I do love good lore. No matter myth or truth. Scare me enough and I'm happy....VERY HAPPY!! Thanks Haxan Films!!Kudos to ingeniousness and offer of a breath of fresh air to this die-hard horror fan.

I've noticed that everyone talks
about word-a-mouth advertising
for this movie, and every time I
read something like that, I feel
compelled to tell another person.
There is no experience cooler than
learning about TBWP and then telling someone about it for the
first time. You feel like you
won't be sane until you tell people about this movie. Plus I
haven't seen it yet, and I'm scared sh-tless. I can't sleep at
night. I won't ever go camping.
(everyone seems to say that) -
You got some serious problems
man. No one in the place said
anything about hatin niggaz. You
brought that on yourself, maybe
you have something going on in
your head dealing with this. MY
ADVICE TO EVERYONE, read everything you can about this movie, then go see it... and avoid
Eighties at all costs. He has
problems that he must work out on
his own. I believe someone already
explained to you where the capslock key is. I used it above,
and effectively turned it off when
I was finished. BWP RULES!! -

Excellent movie. I'm glad to say that I did not know about this movie until it was already showing here in Arizona. I just got back from viewing it and was soooo disturbed that I got on the web to learn more about it. I was under the impression that the footage was real. (Thanks to a friend who told me it was based on a true story). I'm breathing easier knowing that this is completely fictional. But even so the movie is still with me and I find myself thinking of some of the scenes, replaying them over and over in my head. I'm not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight. -NLM

There are no movies, for the past years since the Exorcist, that have played completely on the mind's eye. The Blair Witch Project does. It is all in your head. That is what makes this movie so extremely frightning, what was that out in the woods, some playful boyscouts, a crazed lunatic, or a blair witch? This is underground filmmaking at its finest. A defenite sleeper that will blow CGI fest aka the Haunting out of the house. Oh yeah, Eighties, why don't you take your Neo-Nazi ass back to typing school, maybe you can also grow a dick in the mean time and watch Urban Legend and I still know what you did last Summer while jacking off.
-
This movie will cause you to have sleepless nights! When i went to the Blair Witch Project i was alone After the movie i was scared out of my pants! If you cant handle scary movies i would not suggest this for you and im not talking about Scream,I know what you did last summer kind of movies either its a great movie but its a scary one this is the scariest move ive seen since the exorcist!!! and what makes it so scary is that its based on true facts! and i love to go hiking! Do not visit the web page you need to be in for a good scare its only rated R for language.The thing that scared me the most was the actual footage by the 3 students! this is in fact the best movie of the year to my knowledge!
-
Fought to obtain two tickets last night, finally saw the film. Yes, it was a great, pschycologically frightening piece of work. But I did feel a little bit "scammed" to learn that NONE of it, including the "legend," was true. I am no longer scared, the morning after. Just left with a feeling that I've been taken at a game of three card monty! It's a great piece of marketing, but the filmmakers should've waited longer before admitting that it was all fabricated.
-
sorry I didn't give a "SPOILER AHEAD" notice in previous post, but the filmmakers are the real "spoilers" by admitting in Entertainment Weekly and on NPR last week that everything was faked. So write them, not me!
-
Well, just saw The Haunting, and it is 180 degrees from what Blair Witch is. It is the classic Hollywood version of a scary movie! *Yawn* The Ghosts were in your face, and pretty predictable. Granted, there were a few surprises, but nothing as scary as Blair Witch is. I saw BW over a week and half ago, and thinking about it late at night STILL creeps me out. I try thinking about Haunting and immediatly start comparing it to BW and again that creeps me out, not Haunting! Nice try Hollywood!
-
The Blair Witch Project was utterly frightening for me, but my b-friend and my mother who watched it with us weren't scared at all. I don't know if this is because I was a complete wuss today or because we went at noon or what... I assumed the timing made a big difference. If you're going to see the movie, see it at N-I-G-H-T. If I'm right (and hopefully I am) The Blair Witch will become a cult favorite, with myself as a loyal follower. I hopefully will convince my parents to let me buy the nifty black tee shirt, or the pin, or if they come out with it, the alter candle, because (say it with me, now. You've most likely said it yourself) THE FILM KICKS SOME BLOODY ASS. Thank you for your time. Tee hee...
PS: Word of mouth does work incredibly. I heard about The Blair Witch from people in Really Deep Thoughts Right Now (which is a really big email focused around Tori Amos) that the film was wonderfully scary, and what do ya know? They were right! -
HI:
Saw "The Project", and was not scared at all. Perhaps I'm too familiar with the Real Woods, especially being from up here in Canada. Most sceens looked like they were shot in a well groomed City Park. However, a lot of the positive hype talks about the "Originality" of this film. Well, I strongly beg to differ. As soon as I saw the first trailer of this Movie on "Much Music" [Canada's version of MTV] it vaguelly reminded me of another Film I had seen about 10 years ago. The name escapes me [reason d'etre for the "HELP-Me" in the Subject title] at the time of this posting. The film was a fairly short Video of a family aparently being abducted by Alien Beings from their Rural Home. It was done under a similiar premise to "The Blair Witch Project". However, I did get a bit of a tingle from it, and received a 0% scare factor from "The Project". Perhaps that is because this type of story presentation only works once?! So, perhaps it is this Witchy Work of fiction that is the actualy rip off?!, dare I say?
As for the scariest Movie I have ever seen?! Well, that would have to be John Carpenter's 1980's version of "The Thing" with Kurt Russel.
.....Sorry "Project" but a theatre release for this amaturish home job, was not necessary, and also a bit of a rip at the usual cost of $8.00 for a theatre seat. Wait for this one on the B-Movie Late Nite TV circuit. Don't even waste your money renting it
-
my husband and i went to see this movie with great expectations, we came out extremely disappointed..this is one of the worst movies i've seen. maybe we missed something,but i'm not going to sit thru it again to see what it was....
-
someone please help me, i just went to see the blair witch project and i've been trying my hardest online to find some concrete proof here, yes it was an absolutely fabulous horror film, but all i want to know is if this blair/burkittsville maryland exists, and if these kids really dissapeared? i know the movie was of course a movie, but the idea behind it? did these kids really go out there or what? someone please, i'm dieing over here??
-
hi everyone, ummmm...okay...i read all the hype on the blair witch project cuz i was just too damn interested in the myth, legend, etc. however, after seeing the movie and reading other's critique of it, i'm very confused. is there even a legend? is this whole story fabricated? was any of this footage actually taken? heather? josh? michael? where are those kids? are they at home in suburbia living happy lives?
i'm deeply confused..maybe i'm just dense...a couple of blocks short of a neighbourhood maybe??
so if you'd like to share "the truth" with me. it would really soothe my troubled "scared" soul
you can send answers if you don't want to post to: yrofsnake@hotmail.com
i'd really appreciate some authentic wisdom
p.s. if it wasn't true i have to applaud some amazing acting skills..i haven't seen real fear like that since i started my first period. =) hope to hear from someone soon...thnx -
It took quite a bit of talk on my part to convince my wife to see the BWP movie since we rarely see a movie (married with kids). She doesn't care for "horror" movies of any kind and usually avoids them. However, she reluctantly agreed to see this one with me if I agreed to let her choose the movie we see on our next "date night".
Now that we've seen it, I feel I owe her the next 3 movie picks. This was the most unsatisfying movie I have ever seen. It did not, in any way, live up to the hype. Let me put it to you this way, my wife slept like a rock after the movie. This is a woman who can't sleep after watching "Scream" on pay per view.
Guessing from the incredibly loud groan that was heard in the theater at the end of the movie, I think alot of people probably have the same opinion of this movie.
My advice is to avoid this movie unless you have free tickets.
bV -
ummm... do you realize that penultimate means second to last? it doesn't really make sense the way you used it, so i wonder if you do... i wonder what your editors were thinking? did you really mean second to last, and if so, could you please explain to me what you were saying?
thanks,
joanna -
Yeah Eighties!
Thanks for that second email clearing all that up there! Of course we all knew that you were black and we're all completely racist and that's why we hate you! (just to make sure you know eighties, that's what we call sarcasm!) Do you think the vehement reactions of the posters below might have been because you gave away stuff about a movie some of us love without warning. How could we possibly know your ethnicity eighties? I mean really? And thanks for all the gay bashing insults, always good to know that there's someone intelligent enough to use those. Did you ever think that you're mirroring the racism you hate so much in the homosexual hating attitude you have? Just hating someone because they might be different than you, real adult dude.
-Sylvan Tim -
Just to clear up, i know this is a post not an email, and the previous messages were above me blah blah blah
SEMI-SPOILER FOLLOWS
But seriously, this film was awesome!
Granted i might have gone into it a bit differently than most, i had heard that most of the footage in the movie was actual footage from the three moviemakers that actually were lost in the woods. So i went into the movie thinking it was totally real. It gripped me, it threw me for a loop, i thought it was an excellent excellent film, and it did something most movies never do, it left the horror very much up to the viewer, if you couldn't put yourself in those woods with those characters in your mind, than of course you would hate the movie. it didn't have any glitzy special effects or costuming or anything. It very much relied on you the viewer thinking it really happened. so if you're looking to get scared by blair, go in there believing the ancient legend. Otherwise don't expect to be frightened too much, but watch it anyway to see the way it was done. i've heard it posted that this type of film has been done before, but for the sheer fact that it's now a mainstream u.s. movie which is a great accomplishment for a movie of it's type, it's worth seeing. Plus it really is a work of art, at least i think so. Right down to the ending scene, MORE SPOILER i mean c'mon! how could you not be chilled by that scene? It's like every lost in a house bad dream ever had! doors and stairways becoming mazelike, not being able to find someone that should be right in front of you. And then the ending! when mark is his name? mark dies, and than the girl comes down the stairs and sees him facing the wall just like in the story told earlier? Wow! Damn scary! And the voice of their dead friend all the time calling them from deep withing the woods? Wow, i'm sorry i'm gushing, but i'm truly amazed at this movie, if anyone you know has a chance to see this movie, try to convince them that some of the footage is real, or at least let them think the movie is real in some way, it really makes it a great experience if you believe.
-Sylvan Tim -
i am probably labouring the point and doing it late as well but i gotta tell somebody. i'm pissed off that i wasted five bucks on this piece of crap. when i go to see a movie i try to get a little bit of good out of it whether it's garbage or not and there were moments, brief moments, in bwp but overall... shite. the whole realism angle was destroyed by the obssesive documentation of everything going on even after it was obvious the players were SOL and near death in the middle of the woods. the last thing you're gonna worry about after not eating for 2 or 3 days is getting shots of the same damn forest your lost in. screw the DAT spend some of that energy on killing a squirrel so you can have something to eat. since we know the movie is a hoax and it's been covered that the first person filmmaker as participant isn't original or unique doesn't that just make it a shitty retread. MAN BITES DOG did it way better and it didn't even need the looming figure of some hairy old hag to get the point across
-
THEN YOU WILL PISS YOUR PANTS WHEN YOU SEE THIS MOVIE! WEll not literally but you get the point! About the camping thing it makes people think of it as a negative thing not even daring to leave the tent because their scared there might be something out there!!! But has anyone here heard of anything like that happening! NOT ME !!!!! Anyways My friend brought me out to the movie last night and the night before i had just come back from an isolated town speding most of my time hiking through the woods for several days on the mountain tops in the middle of nowhere! But I had a great time and I'm still here in one piece! What i don't get is that they walk for fourteen hours and the end up in the same place! We buswacked through the mountains for eight hours and we made it to our destination using the same kinda map they used! But what I found made it so realistic was how it was made with a home video camera and the ending i think added to it! A SPOILER IS COMING DON'T READ! You never know what really was in that room! =(
-
hey well i seen the blair witch tonight and it scared me to death it is a reaaly good movie to see this summer i myself won't to go back and see it again and i know i am never ever going in the woods ever again.i use to leave a few feet from the woods and after seeing that i am not even going to step a foot never the woods again i suggest anyone that has not seen the movie go and see it after u do u will have second thoughts of the woods again and sleepless night ........have a good thrilllllllllll
-
All the stuff I hear about after seeing the movie you will never go camping or hiking through woods I dont know if its true...but I was wondering if The Blair Witch Project is real or ever happened but if you do please email me at mleigh86@hotmail.com becasue i want to go to Burkittsville Mary Land and check it out and try to find somethingn out ! =)
-
wanting to know what the consensus was on what was found in the bundle...was it his heart? ear? hair?
my friends all have different guesses...
thanks.
-en -
I just thought I'd share a few words. Screams, shadows, "this is not reality, there are boogie men but not in my house..." This film was by far the most thrilling as well as most suspense filled movie I have ever seen. During the last parts of the movie I heard noises outside the theater wall as if someone was thumping on the wall! I practically @#%$ my pants! It was at night when I went with my family and a friend to see the movie everyone was talking about. I didn't exactly think that I would be thinking about it the next day. Was it real? You can't tell the difference. My heart was pounding and I felt like I was going to faint at the end. And I just sat there, stunned as the camera fell to the floor and stuttered. No fancy words here, no special effects, only the fleeting feeling that it could very well be real. Like the effect a magician has on the audience, so is this movie. ONLY there is no "I wonder how they did that?" IT"S "oh...my...God, their dead." If you use this, call me MUNUPY ONE.
-
Dear enderle
SPOILER: Regarding your question about the bundle - if you check out www.haxan.com's Blair Witch FAQ's, you'll find the answer! By the way do you guys realise how frustrating it is to be here in London and have to wait until 29th October to see this movie?!! -
I couldnt believe it when I read the review and responses. I thought I was the only one. I too thought it wasnt that scary. Until I started talking to friends about the movie and the ending. Then I started thinking and became scared. It really is psychological! I just wish I could jump into the movie and save them! The other day I looked outside my door and saw a bunch of twigs crisscrossed. Im assuming the wind blew them that way. Lets hope!
-
That's the beauty of it...No one knows exactly what it was! What we do know is that it was Josh's something-or-other because of the flannel material. This is just an example of why I thought the movie was so brilliant...A lot of unanswered questions that we can only try to answer with our imaginations...and that stuff made it even scarier to me.
-
Now for you people who say it ain't shit think about it 3 people set out on a jouney and never returned. If you want to freak yourself out read up on the background of it and then watch the movie. Just think while you are watching it what if that was me and 2 of my best friends, it could have happened to any of us but god chose them. Put yourself in their shoes and enjoy the movie and see what you think then. I t is not a pretty site to see. thanx.........
