The Blair Witch Project

You'll probably think I'm stupid by asking this, but was there ever any truth to the Blair Witch Project? I always thought it was real, but I can't see how it possibly could be.

no there was not!

that film sucked

Very much my sort of film...

No, no truth at all. Remember, the film was the centrepiece of a large fictional entity set up by the creators- the false mystery of these students who disappeared in the woods. To check out all they had put into it you had to check out the website, diaries, film and documentary. A very interesting exercise in integrated storytelling and a rather well-done film in itself, even if it does not appeal to all.

yeah they did a good job with advertising it, good movie, cannibal holocaust is better though.

yeah good advertisin and that but i just thought the film didnt live up to the hype.And i didnt even bother seein the sequel

sequal was horrid.

i thought so.didnt even wont to go near the thing!!

The sequel was quite poor. Cannibal Holocaust did the "films found after the event" thing a loooooooong time ago.

I enjoyed viewing the Blair Witch website leading up to the release but I didn't much like the film. Although it was pretty different to anything thats been done in a while, always a bonus in my books.

i liked it, but was disapointed by the end. it kept building and building but then nothing happened. CH had a great ending. intense as hell.

this movie sucks!

I was perfectly happy with the end myself...

The hype made it out to be something it was not- something he makers did not intend.

i didnt hate the ending.... but it felt like the whole movie was leading up to something big, just had that feeling...and then nothing really happened... the guy was just pissing in the corner or something

NO truth in it at all. I also thought that the movie sucked, but you know it was an indie film and indie films generally go one way or another. Speaking of indie films, I recently saw a really good one called Manna From Heaven when it premiered in Columbus, OH. Very cute. From what i hear it's coming to NY and LA w/in the next couple of days. For all interested parties, the production company's name is five sisters productions

People said it sucked because the film look screwed up and boring.The reason why I liked this movie was the advertisement.C'mon it was beliveable.They even had on sci-fi a hour on the blair witch that why it made so much money.Greatest indepedent movie of all time .

Budget-$15,000-$30,000

Made in U.S.A-$180,000,000-more

Genius I say.

I thought BW2 was really good
I didnt like this one though.

I thought the movie was perfect. All horror movie now rely on shock value and gruesome effects. This movie was very effective, because your imagination is much scarier than any Hollywood creation.

thats true tom. that was the best part of it.

I saw BW2 at 5 AM (I'm such a sneak and luckily I was at my grandma's house so I got to sleep in til 12 and get a breakfast of pancakes!) so I don't remember much of it. It was great though.

I watched it drunk at my house along with a few other horrors. My mate and I decided to have a horror night, I was quite disturbed by the end of the evening.
