HDC Looks Back...

[_____V_____]

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS or DVD?

DVD.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?

Plenty of feedback, from HDC itself and from the internet. Mostly positive, some glowing.

3 - How was your first viewing experience?

Superb. Right from the opening sequence till the climax, it had me glued to the screen.

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?

4-5 times, because of my love for all things werewolf.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?

It's a different take on the age-old lore, and that's why it's a fantastic watch. Any horror fan worth his/her salt should watch it at least once during their lifetime. Highly recommended.

I watched Blair Witch on DVD. I should see more horror movies in the theater. But the experience can be so hit or miss depending on the audience and if the theater has a good setup.

Not really. I knew people that saw the movie just because of the money it made. They weren't into horror at all.

I thought it was a good movie. I like how the characters acted when they got lost in the woods and crazy stuff started happening.

1/2 time. I saw parts on TV once. I'll probably see it again before watching part 2.

I think the movie is a good reality, foolish people go into the woods unprepared type of movie. It's both funny and unsettling.

2 - Oh yeah, I had seen the fake documentary about the Blair Witch on Sci-Fi and was really excited to see it.

3 - I really liked it; it freaked me out quite a bit.

4 - A few.

5 - I was 13 or 14 when it came out, and it was a big deal among me and my friends. We all thought it was great, and I even recall making our own spoof version or something with a mini-cassette recorded we had.

1- VHS

2- Not really. I was 10 or 11 years old, and had seen the trailers, but obviously wasn't able to see it in theaters.

3- I watched it at a friend's house, really late at night. I remember being absolutely horrified by the opening scene.

4- I've seen it probably 3 or 4 times since.

5- That first time is one of my favorite horror movie memories from my childhood, watching it on VHS in a dark room with some friends, all huddled around the TV, completely shocked. I hadn't seen anything as intense as the opening sequence at that time, and it really freaked me out.
