The Blair Witch Project
Scare: Quality: N/A Story: Overall:
Ladies and gentlemen, the time is 3:45 and I am still up. Can you guess why? The greatest horror movie ever made, and it only took somewhere around 1000 or so dollars to make... “The Blair Witch Project”. Ok, there has never been a horror movie that has made me want to stay awake by watching anything that’s on TV (except infomercials. Nothing could ever make me want to watch infomercials), like Beavis and Butthead. Anyway... I wish to applaud the actors and the film makers that are behind this film. This just goes to show that the scariest movie doesn't need special effects or lots of money, it just needs sporadic filming, home video and 12mm quality of course, and great acting. The Story... Three (names: Heather, Josh, and Mike) filmmakers go out to make a documentary about an urban legend about the Blair Witch. Blair is a town that now is called Burkitsville. They go around and interview some of the townsfolk about the Blair witch and then go out to the woods where she is supposed to be. They first go to a rock and then they stumble upon a strange version of a graveyard. From there, things begin to go wrong. They begin to hear sounds in the night as they try to sleep and things attack their tent. Finally, one of them goes missing. Let’s just say that you should be happy that they never find him. Anyway, later they hear him calling out to them and try to find him. This happens for two nights in a row until finally they go out to try and find him. They find a house where some guy from town killed seven children in 1940. This had something to do with the Blair witch, something like the guy was asked to do it by her or something like that. So, they go in and run all over the rundown homestead. Mike runs down to the basement and suddenly the camera falls to the ground and the only thing that can be heard is the girl, Heather, screaming for Mike from the other level. Soon she ends up in the basement and finds Mike standing in a corner facing away from her. Something then attacks her from behind and her camera falls to the ground, then static. That’s the end of the movie. So... This movie probably bothered me a bit more because I kind of know what it feels like to be lost in the woods, and my family has a strange obsession for going homestead hunting. That’s when you go out in the middle of nowhere and try to find run down abandoned houses. The house that they found in this movie reminded me a LOT of one house we found (minus the dead dog in the closet and the dead calves, one fell down the stairs to the basement and the other in the doorway of the back door). Needless to say, it took three trips for me to get the guts to go in the basement. And now, thanks to this movie, I will probably never go camping ever again, hiking sounds a LOT less fun, and no more homestead hunting, at least during the night, and I'm staying far away from the basement. Now that that’s over with I am now being tortured with Kid Rock talking about how he wants to be a cowboy (woo freakin hoo and lody freakin dah) and it’s 4:05 in the morning. I would just like to thank everyone, and I mean EVERYONE that had to do with that movie. Thank you so much, you finally made a movie that scared me beyond belief. You people receive the HORRORFLIX seal of approval big time as the best horror movie of all time. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to watch the entire Star Wars Trilogy twice in order to stay up.
