Blair Witch Project

I went and saw this movie in theaters on an 8th of mushrooms. That wasn't such a good idea..but alot of people hated this movie...the mushrooms made me love it. I went home believing it was real.....LOL

 

I have tried to watch this film several times, but never seen it the whole way through. I get bored after about half an hour of viewing.

 

This movie sucked. It bored the hell out of me, but I still watched it to the boring end.

 

Over here in Australia, we were a tad behind in the Blair Witch hysteria. I heard about it from a friend, and decided to order it on VHS before it was released here. Since our video is PAL, and the USA is NTSC, we had to find someone with a compatible VCR. The only person was a girl who lived waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere. So we all gathered together and watched it and absolutely shit ourselves. Afterwards we went for a walk in the bush to further scare ourselves.

I will never forget it.

The 2 things that still stick in my mind are the tent scene "They're inside" and the very end when the guy was in the corner of the basement.

 

i remember watching it for the first time, i was 9, i had recorded it the night before, i sat on my bed at like 8 in the morning, it was a grey day i think, i told no one to come in or talk to me, i needed to watch it on my own, so i did, it scared the shit out of me, when it got to when they are in the house, i called my sister up, i was white and shaking from fear, i got her and my dad to watch the last terrifying moments with me, its now one of my favourite films, i adore horror films, not gory, vampire, zombie stuff, but like, things that could actually happen.

oh yeah! P.S. when i first saw it, i believed the bit of writing at the beginning, that it was all real, i really thought it was. that is what made it so so scary. that it actually happend, that they had found this footage in the woods, thats what really scared me. and ofcourse the film is fucking scary in its self, just amazing.

Ive only seen The Book of Shadows, and lord was it amazing xD

You know, people dont seem to understand that not every film needs a plot, climax, bleh blah bloo...Theres no rule that film has to be exciting. Its like we're trained to view movies with the standards of Hollywood in mind.

Sorry xD Im sensitive about the subject.

 

I love both The Blair Witch Project and BW2!

The first time I saw BW1, I was intrigued, and the ending scared me SO badly that I had problems sleeping for a week. It didn't help that at the time I had temporarily rented out a space in someone's cellar...

The head games you can play with those movies! These are in a way more "head movies" as opposed to "horror movies", but WOW.

One of the things I loved especially when I saw BW1 was how it was just insidious in how that movie revealed important clues to what was happening without seeming to. (Play close attention to the interviews with the locals at the beginning...)

I was really disappointed when BW3 was apparently axed. I was all anxious to see it.

More clues were provided by the Blair Witch webpage, where you got to read Heather's journal, which revealed such things as their compass wasn't working, etc... and the suggestion in the diary was that there was some sort of "disorienting spell" that had been cast on them along the way, which was what was causing them to remain lost...

Oh, and if anyone is a fan of the movies... check out the dossiers for both of them! There's one for each movie, and both are meant to be read/analyzed along with their accompanying film. The dossier for BW1 in particular has a CHILLING portion right near its ending which I won't go into...

Here's a same of one of the things from the dossier for BW2:

Those of you who have seen it remember Erica, the wiccan girl who Jeffrey brought along on his "Blair Witch" outing? Well, the book contains (all pretend, of course) the following chat room conversation he had had before the outing had begun. I can't retype it verbatim as I don't have the dossier handy in front of me, but this is the basic idea of it:

BLAIR WITCH CHAT ROOM
===

Jeffreydude: Yeah, so that's basically the idea. And I sell them on my webpage.
Sheenagirl: Hey, that's friggin awesome!
JoeNameth: Yeah dude, how much do you make?
Jeffreydude: Well, I make good enough right now, but rocks and dirt foundation goes really well because anything from the actual foundation is what BW fans really want, you know?
Sheenagirl: Sounds good to me! I wouldn't mind buying some myself! lol
JoeNameth: Yeah, how much?
Jeffreydude: Well let's see, depends on how much you want to get. What would you like?
Jeffreydude: How much would you guys like?
Jeffreydude: Hello?
Ericablesed: Hi, Jeffrey!
Jeffreydude: Erica? Is that you?
Ericablesed: Yeah, remember how you said you wanted me to contact you with my payment for the trip?
Jeffreydude: Yeah! You ready to pay?
Ericablesed: Yeah, I just need to use my grandmother's credit card, is that ok?
Jeffreydude: Sure, go ahead. Just email it to me.
Ericablesed: Ok, I just sent it. You get it ok?
Jeffreydude: Yep, just showed up! Just a sec
Jefferydude: Ok, it went through just fine. So where's your address? Want me to pick u up there or where?
Ericablesed: Naah, I'll meet you over at that little local trading store over there. You know, the one on the main corner?
Jeffreydude: Ok Erica, sounds cool. I'll be swinging around about 9 am. Will that work?
Ericablesed: Perfect! See you then Jeff.
Jeffreydude: Great. So you have any special needs or anything I need to know about to make the trip more comfortable for you?
Jeffreydude: Erica?
Jeffreydude: Hello?
Sheenagirl: THERE you are!
JoeNameth: Yeah man, where'd you go?
Jeffreydude: Wow you guys were sure quiet during that.
Sheenagirl: What are you talking about? Where'd you go?
Jeffreydude: What are you talking about?
JoeNameth: We were all talkin about buying your stuff and then suddenly you weren't on here.
Jeffreydude: What? Of course I was! I've been here all this time talkin to Erica!
Sheenagirl: Erica? Who's Erica? Dude, a sec ago you weren't even in this chat room! Your name had vanished off the roster and everything, we thought you lost power or something.
Jeffreydude: Well I was wondering where the heck YOU two were! You didn't see no girl called Erica logged on here just a sec ago?
JoeNameth: No way, man. You were gone. And we didn't see no Erica log in.
Jeffreydude: Uhhh... okeeh...



Oh, and also: reading the dossier, you learn that Jeffrey was *NOT* insane after all...

 

Maybe because of the HUGE build up, I was highly disappointed by this movie.

I hated the camera work.

I hated the snot.

I hated the lack of story.

 

I enjoy watching this movie...You knoe those people who do this so called Blair Witch Project are totally insane...
