is on tv in 5.

while knowing perfectly well that i will be peeing my pants
when i see this movie again, i am still going to watch it,
and regret it for a long time after. this is plain stupid,
but i wanted to tell you people anyway because i'm a hero
for it.

people who say this movie isn't scary don't really exist.

p.s: i'm home alone too which is a bonus to the scary
factor.

k bye now

well i think it was interesting, not really scary. nice way
of making a movie on a low budghet, very creatove. ill watch
it too i think, in the dark, and might play some scary
ambient afterwards :D

I think, as long as you played it softly, music would be
even better during.

I recommend The Shining soundtrack. Positively unsettling.

I thought it was really scary at the time... and I don't
think I've seen it since. Not because I don't want to, but
fate hasn't brought me back to it. I think I've got it in
.AVI form on a CD somewhere... maybe I'll watch it.

I think I'd still love it. You've gotta use your imagination
for it. The whole concept of those woods scares the shit out
of me, their exact situation is one I've had nightmares
about for 20 years, one I've conjured up in my head a
million times. It was very easy to convince myself, while
watching it, that those kids are completely fucked. And
there were milllions of possibilities in my mind as to HOW
they'll be completely fucked. Their mental state and the way
they acted and the things they did were also frustrating,
just like I'd expect it them to be. It was basically a
documentary of a situation I've thought about dreadfully
forever.

A lot of people don't like it, but whatever. It's a good
film that becomes great if you want it to be.

Really? How? That's sad... clearly a clever mind to make
such an original movie.

lots of good points made.

its not as much scary is it is plain unsettling.

the whole 'this is just a movie' idea just doesn't seem to
apply. i guess this has everything to do with the fact that
its SO easy to imagine exactly how you would feel in that
situation. The whole buildup of tension and emotion in the
group is just perfect.

i seriously cannot stand people who don't 'like' this movie.
Whoever says that they didnt think it was scary or
unsettling at all, obviously lacks any imagination.

btw, the music at the end credits is really good. gotta
check for downloadability.

btw2, book of shadows is playing right now, but i'm in no
state to watch it. plus i heard that it sucks, which is no
surprise of course, but i'll want to see it sometime anyway.

Talk about misinformation.The director of photography on the
movie, Neal Fredericks died tragically in a plane crash on
August 14th."The Blair Witch project" was jointly directed
by 2 people,namely Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez.

I agree completely. I really can't fault the film to be
honest.

I guess some people don't like it because you don't really
see anything. Which is ironic because I think that is its
greatest strength... what you don't see is more scary than
what you do blah blah. I love the noises in the movie, I
can't tell you how much they freak me out. Like the
children's voices in the middle of the night... bloody hell
that scared das sheizze out of me when I first saw it.

yeah about those voices..

lets for a moment pretend to be film critics and slag off
this 'entirely impossible' moment.

cause if you really take this movie apart and look at what's
100 % realistic, and what's not, then the children's voices
would be on the 'not' list. or does anyone have a theory for
this?

not that i mind, cause it really adds to the tension. just
wondering.

Hmm I never really thought of it being unrealistic. I guess
most films would have had some groaning, heavy breathing
monstrosity approaching tents in the middle of the night...
laughing children is something so out of place that it
becomes freakishly scary for me. Imagine being lost, miles
into woodland, in the wintry early hours, and hearing from a
distance that sound - I would have a freakin heart attack

The legends of the witch taking the children into the woods
is I guess the significance of it, although its never really
revealed. For the best IMO

I don't remember this being scary at all, just a little
annoying. Dawn of the Dead, now THAT scared the buh-jeezez
outa me. And now I'm affraid of the dark and being
alone...GREAT! just the thought of a zombie being just
around the corner....

This film made my heart pound something rotten. Most of my
friends considered it rather lame though, so i'm stuck
saying "yeah, that shit was about as scary as pingu", so as
not to seem a big wet pussy. And so is the nature of
masculinity, i guess.

''The legends of the witch taking the children into the
woods
is I guess the significance of it"

that clears up my doubts well enough. forgot all about
that.

anyone care to share a view on the sequel btw?

I believe somone here as pinched Blair Witch 2 for their
avatar. If you have any respect for the first film, and
indeed for yourself, not only will you not watch the sequel,
but you will murder, in cold-blood, anyone who had anything
to do with the making of it.

I've never seen the sequel, but it sounds like you either
love it or hate it... I've heard people say it's complete
shit, while other people loved it and thought it was some
sort of unheralded, misunderstood masterpiece.

I think the general consensus is that is was quite bad, but
I'm still interested. Maybe I'll trot on over to
Supernova.org and find out for myself...

Thanks dude. I made a thread a while ago about it but it was

much better version on The Disk thingy so yea. :)
