The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

...I first watched it in the film, I was so scared that I nearly screamed! The atmosphere was really amazing in the cinema, and I really don't blame my friends who wanted to walk out of the cinema because they were so scared! however, when I rewatched it on video, the atmosphere seems to have faded away but still, for the first time views there is still a thrill about it, as it is really realistic. Here is the summary of the film: In October of 1994, ...
...Entertainment Weekly as "One of the creepiest films since the Exorcist", The Blair Witch Project follows a trio of filmmakers on what should have been a simple walk in the woods...but quickly becomes an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the three become inexplicably but undeniably lost, morale deteriorates. Hunger sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire's light. By day, chilling ritualistic figures are discovered ...

...downs. I watched all the cinema trailers, heard all the hype and looked forward to this film for weeks only to find that I was bored witless. This film was irritating from beginning to end, the girl's constant screaming at every little thing,everything was dragged out to the extreme. Given the right amount of money and special effects this film could have been brilliant but it ended up to be the most boring film I have ever seen. As an avid horror ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

I must be the only person who actually liked Blair Witch because everyone else who I know who has seen it hates it. It’s not so much the film that is good but when you think about it afterwards it is actually quite disturbing, that is if you understood the ending. The film is about three students who go in search of the Blair Witch. After interviewing some people in the local town they go into the woods and strange things start happening and they ...
...are no special effects and the camera work is a bit dodgey. It’s all done on a camcorder by the students so it is supposed to be shaky and you do get used to it after a while. It’s a very short film but I don’t think they could of made it any longer without it getting boring. This is not a film to watch if you are looking for some action, it’s all pretty tame. More of a thinking film than a doing film so don’t bother to watch it if you want a ‘in ...

...tells you a lot when the scariest part of a scary movie is watching up someone’s nose as they talk a lot about themselves. I have to admit the concept for this movie is great, a fictional documentary created in such a way that it’s made to seem as if it is real. I think the way they made the movie was terrific, good camera work (If you forget about being seasick) and great improvisation with the actors and the only let down was the plot. A severe ...
...opinion, you could have handled the characters if the plot wasn’t so boring and the plot would have managed if the characters didn’t make you want to shoot the three of them with a rather large shot gun. I would have been interested in finding out what happened to the kids if I didn’t have to sit through excessive camera shaking and crying snotty girls. Of course, this was all done to give the movie that realistic feel, but I could have lived without ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

This has to be the least scary "horror" film I have ever seen. I bought it on DVD and watched it late at night with all the lights turned out on our widescreen TV and it didn't make me jump once. There is no plot, which is supposed to be one of its selling points but that means the film consists entirely of three American teenagers running around in a forest screaming at each other. The characters are all so unbelievably stupid and self-centred that ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

The Blair Witch Project is a film that illicits some interesting responses from those who watch it. There are two clear camps on this one; firstly, the film is seen as visionary, a truly scary creation that borders so closely on reality as to be horrific beyond belief. The other camp believes it to be absolute, mind numbing drivel. Truth be told, the failing of the film was when someone said it was the "Greatest horror film ever", the second you ...
...absolutely not the greatest horror film ever. The film does evoke a sense of fear, claustrophobia and dread in those that watch it, assuming you are not expecting a regular film with a distinctive beginning, middle and end. If you are looking for a linear piece of work where every twist and turn is explained to you in great detail by the protagonists, then Blair Witch it not for you. If, however, you are looking for something truly different, then ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

This must be the biggest disappointment in recent cinema history. The Blair witch project centres around a group of students who go to investigate the legend of the Blair witch. Not once through the entire film did you actually see the witch, there was no blood, no gore, NOTHING! It was all done with suggestion, which may have worked thirty years ago but not with todays cinema goers, who are not as naive as perhaps they once were. Neither could ...
...they do try to leave the forest when a couple of their friends go missing to my mind they don't try hard enough. The film eventually wends it's way to its predictable climax and I couldn't help but feel cheated at the way it was all done and the fact that I had fallen for the hype, which I must say was excellently done, full credit does go to the makers, they took camcorder footage and made millions from it! well done them. At the end of the day ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

Before the film originally came out at the cinema I expected great things from it. A couple of months later I thought it must be one of the worst filmns ever, despite not having seen it still. Now, about a year after it came out and finally having seen it myself I know it was neither of the above. A decent film, which in parts as I was watching it by myself did scare me was however lacking. The constant bad film quality due to the fact that they ...
...about it was the lack of a soundtrack, which I think increased the atmosphere at times, especially when the characters argued. The acting was superb, I really don't think you can fault it. You could sympathise with all of them when they finally realised they were lost, and the Blair Witch began following them around, giving them hints of how they were going to be murdered, and they began to get hysterical. All of the supernatural parts in the film, ...

The Blair Witch Project has got to be the worst film ever made and is right at the top of my ‘ Never bother to watch this film again’ list. The whole plot seemed to have absolutely no purpose at all, the story line was very weak and the acting even weaker. As for the filming itself, please, were you really trying to convince us that the whole thing was for real ? I never want to see this film ever again. It should all have ended up on the cutting ...

The place is a big wood in america, there are 3 students want to have a big project for there exam, 1girl 2 boys, the girl heard about a story from an old woman who lived in middle age, the people tought the woman would be a witch so they kicked them out of the village in the wood, the woman was really witch and killed now much children, ...

This was 3nights, then 1 of the students was away at the morning, the girl found something from his body and blood near a tree.

In the town of Burkittsville, Maryland, USA, lies the legend of a local witch known as ‘The Blair Witch’. Three students decide that it is up to them to discover what this legend is all about and head off to find her or any clues of her existence. This is their documentary. Heather (Heather Donahue) is the documentary's director, Michael (Michael Williams) is the sound man, and Joshua (Joshua Leonard) is the cameraman. Let the Blair ...
...teenagers and mysterious moving stones. The camera was darting all over the place while the curiosity of seeing something gruesome and witchy-poo intrigued me even more, I carried on to watch it. By the end of the film I was nearly asleep, no hocus pocus, just the question remaining… is there a Blair Witch? Which, to me, was the whole emphasis of the movie. The teenagers mysteriously disappeared of course. ...

...room, with my headphones on the "witch" seemed to be all around me. This is a truly original piece of cinema, which uses suspense as skillfully as Hitchcock. As enjoyable as it is believable, I found Blair Witch to be one of the best films of the year. The only possible downsides are Heather (watch and you'll find out why - my god that girls annoying) and the fact the paCe sometimes slows a little too much in the daytime. But other than these relatively ...
...beardy blokes telling us about the nature of fear and an excellent deleted scene. It has a fantastic running through the woods type menu with Heather screaming over the top (this was enough to scare me, let alone the film!) and of course contains all the usual commentaries etc. Great for film fans and DVD boffins alike, Blair Witch will not dissapoint on any account. ...

Review of The Blair Witch Project (DVD)

This film was at the cinema in October 1999 and I thought it was a good film. I have a feeling that I am the only one with this opinion though! Here is what it is about - 3 student film makers, Heather, Josh, and Michael go into these wood to film a documentary about the legendary Blair Witch that is meant to be there. This legendary witch has supposed to have children and other men so I don't know if I would be happy roaming about that wood. ...
...and white one. At the beginning the students film residents to hear if they know any stories, then they go into the woods and that is when all the weird stuff starts happening. Now I don't want to give any of the important bits away for those of you who haven't seen the film yet. The ending seems a bit of a let down, but it makes sense when you have seen all the film. If they didn't end it that way, how else could they have ended it? It is a unique ...

...very little real story. However, The Blair Witch Project is one film that has an interesting story to match the scares. This film is written and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez. The Blair Witch Project is about three film students, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams who travel to Burkittsville, Maryland, to research the local legend of the Blair Witch, for a documentary. After interviewing a few locals, they journey ...
...it is not long before the three students get lost and disorientated in the woods. They soon realise they are going around in circles. They discover evidence of wooden figures and hear eerie noises, which leads them to believe they have found what they are looking for. The students are lost in the woods and never make it out. Their cameras and footage is found and used to make this film that reveals more about their disappearance. I found this film ...

...to watch this film at the cinema because of all the media attention surrounding it. There was so much talk about it I just had to grab a seat at the cinema and watch it. Not bad not bad... The film has a very good eeriness about it which makes it incredibly spine tingly if your're the sort of person with a good mind and imagination. This film is about 3 students(?) who set off searching for truth about the Blair witch in Burkittsville. The way the ...
...and what is going on. The film is like a documentary but in some aspects not. Legend has it that there is a witch in the woods who killed small children. This is not based on a true story. I thought it was, I thought it was real footage but it isn't sadly :( This is fiction and it plays with your mind and makes people have to think and use their imagination to what and why things happen. The film starts off with them getting all packed up and ready ...
