Arriving in a barrage of hype, The Blair Witch Project is one of the biggest box office success of the year. However, like The Golden Child, although Blair Witch has made a lot of money, it's not very good. Donahue, Williams and Leonard play themselves...more

The Blair Witch Project Review
by Fontaine Lien
And like most overhyped films, it was a major disappointment for me. It was praised as the scariest movie to be made since "The Shining" or "Halloween" or whatever, yadda yadda yadda, but in the end it was just a justifiably glorified experiment in...more

The Blair Witch Project Review
by Stephen Graham Jones
Lest we forget, Deliverance was 1972. Six years later The Hills Have Eyes. Two decades later they still do. And James Dickey's backwoods have always been there in the unconscious, waiting. What The Blair Witch Project does is take us back to those woods,...more

Due to a savvy marketing campaign, The Blair Witch Project was among the most anticipated of the summer, particularly among fans of independent film. It is a small budget film which demonstrates that an extravagant Hollywood production is not necessary...more

My goodness, this little picture has become such an event, hasn't it? The film itself (without the chatter) wouldn't be much more than a video teens might think pretty cool. However, everyone is talking about this film; the gardener, the taxi driver -- I...more

When I was eight, my brother, a friend and I decided to camp out in our backyard on a summer night. We pitched a tent and rolled out sleeping bags. For us, this was almost "roughing it." We ate junk food, watched the skies for UFO's, and told ghost...more

After months and months of anticipation, Blair Witch has finally gone wide, playing in more than 1000 screens. To some, it may be the film you've been looking for this year, to others, including myself, it's a flawed bone chiller. more
The Blair Witch Project Review

The horror film genre has always been depleted. Since Hitchcock, we have never seen a steady stream of truly scary films. However, the horror film genre has been resurrected in the 90s, but to no avail. Scream gave viewers a spook or two, I Know...more

At a perfect running length of 80 minutes, 'The Blair Witch Project' is a completely fictional film that looks ferociously like a documentary. It uses mostly the thought of horror instead of visual horror itself to make its effective showcase a truly...more

I admire it most for its creativity. Filmmakers Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick ran with the idea of shoving three young actors out in the Maryland woods. They must operate their own cameras and improvise all of the dialogue. Of course there is...more

If there is one film this summer (or any summer for that matter) besides Star Wars could possibly create more hype than this film I would give it a prize. What started out as a $35,000 dollar horror movie that could cover the fake Blair Witch, would turn...more

Just what is a horror movie? Over the past one hundred years, many movies have been given the moniker, "horror film," but few have deserved it. They were given that title mainly due to their subject matter, but a vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghost,...more

After finally seeing The Blair Witch Project (TBWP), my first thought was: "I have not been affected like I was supposed to, back when I first heard about this film in February." Of course, the film doesn't live up to the hype, not that any other...more
