Review:
Shocking confession time (okay well more like stupid me time). I sometimes live under a rock, and don't know very much about things. My friend suggested we go see this film and told me it was a true story and I believed them. On that note, I was freaked out by the movie, and seriously intrigued by it. The amateurish nature does make it feel like this group of kids are actually lost in the woods (spare me continuity error buffs), and that there is something evil going on. It seems silly to explain the story considering that everyone knows it by now but here I go. Four friends are doing a documentary on the "Blair Witch", so they go into the woods with a video camera and something keeps making them disappear. I truly did like it and was spooked until of course I looked it up on the internet and realized I'd been had like a sucker. The worst part of this film is that it has basically no replay value, but if you haven't seen it and you haven't read this review spoiling it, I'd suggest you try. They really were clever with the way they shot this considering they had no budget and made millions...how many horror films can say that?
