Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Rob M — 17 Sep 2015

The only film that ever scared me (and still does). People who complain about the unlikable characters don't get it. The premise that you're watching found footage is only reinforced by having characters that you just might find annoying.

If you found someone else's footage, what are the chances that you'd find the people endearing? They were real, genuine characters. How would you react in a forest in that situation? You'd probably be annoying to most people.

You'd probably dribble snot in front of a camera when you are terrified to your core , your friend has been murdered (and his tongue was a gift wrapped present) and you are sure you'll be killed before sunrise.

Do people not realise that losing the map and getting lost (they were doing circles) was due to the witch? Do people know that it wasn't Josh calling them from the forest that night - it was the witch imitating Josh's screams when she tortured and murdered him the night before.

That's scary. She was floating through the forest calling to them with Josh's voice. Very scary film.
