I enjoy your reviews, but
The Blair Witch Project was nothing more than a marketing scheme to get unknowing teenagers into theatre seats so that they would perpetuate the false "truths" of the film and all share some fake communal experience of being scared.
The Blair Witch Project is a much lousier fllm than
Plan 9 From Outer Space because that filmmaker knew not to expect anything while the makers of
Blair Witch were just about as jaded as any filmmakers in history in knowing that they could conduce and take advantage of their audience. Personally, I give
The Blair Witch Project , and I find it so irrelevant to movie history that I cannot comprehend why anyone signals any praises for it anymore. Sure, I know alleged rational people who were afraid to walk to the parking lot after the movie was over, but they were nothing but tools. Plus, if that was such a great flick, why haven't the filmmakers been able to make a single other "legit" film? I know, they made other films, but who the hell has heard of them or seen them? That's OK. You should like what you want, but crap floats.
