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.
