Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Cinema E — 05 Nov 2016
Blair Witch Project. A glorified snooze fest of a horror film. Never have I ever zoned out of a film as much as I have with this one. It has an interesting setting and does manage to set up its plot effectively but it ultimately falls flat on its face as soon as our protagonists finish introducing themselves and their purpose. The last 80% of the film is either banter, arguing about getting lost, or very short night sequences that do not invoke fear. I would've even welcomed a cheap jump scare to get me back into the film, but nothing. The points of conflict between protagonists were next to pointless and more comedic if anything. As a matter of fact, this film made me laugh more than it did scare me. The ending to this film was arguably the most disappointing and unsatisfying part.
My IQ level actually might have dropped after this film. Which is actually a good thing! Why? I was watching it with a female I really liked and it seemed to have also lowered her IQ. By the end of the film, we were so zoned out, bored and confused that our primitive instincts took over our bodies and we began to engage in sexual activity. It occurred to me that this film actually increases the chances of a sexual encounter!
The final verdict of this film AS A FILM is 1 out of 5 stars.
The final verdict of this film to GET IT IN is 6 out of 5 stars.
*****USE THIS FILM RESPONSIBLY*****.
