i think the most important thing this movie demonstrated was that there are still directors and writers out there that can come up with a novel concept. i watched in the cinema the first weekend it came out and the movie put me on edge for a few days. it was also the first and only movie i've seen at the cinema where the audience didn't stampede out as the first hint of credit appeared, they just sat transfixed for maybe 10 seconds then slowly filed out in utter silence. i think it's a great movie but not rewatchable. which in itself makes it pretty individual. it also has one of THE great finishes

I'm torn on the Blair Witch Project. On one hand, it's a good concept that, at the time, hardly ever got used. They did it right, and they made a metric shit-ton of money on a movie that cost, by industry standards, next to nothing to make. There are valid reasons to show love for the Blair Witch Project.
On the other hand, it's just so fun to make fun of it. There are environments in which it's an effective movie, but in any other environment, it's just goofy. And I loved the joke about it on Family Guy. "Ok, they're in-they're in the woods...the camera keeps on moving...uh, I think they're-they're looking for some witch or something, I-I don't know, I wasn't listening. Nothing's happening...nothing's happening...something about a map...nothing's happening...it's over. [looks around] A lot of people in the audience look pissed."

I was not scared much through it, unlike a few other viewers.
I thought it was a bit over-dramatized, rather than touching on the raw emotions of the viewers. It was engrossing to watch, but did not have much fizz to make things captivating.

Excellent bashing. Hopefully Z will put in his two cents later too.
All the points covered nicely. There isnt much for me to add or subtract so we ll move on... Over the years I have noticed that one movie is spoken of with a lot of fondness by a select group of members here, but a bigger group dont like it for some reason... Will the haters stand up and say why they hate/dont like Friday the 13th as much? Here comes the bashing!!
