The Blair Witch Project

   Finally got around to watching The Blair Witch Project because I was bored.....I don't understand what the big deal was. I was reading trivia about the movie and how it cost $22,000 to make....and how it took them a "mere 8 days to shoot the film". I don't know why they had to pay 22,000 dollars to make a homemade video of people getting lost in the woods. The only thing it has going for it is that it was the first of it's kind...and I guess you could say it was suspenseful....but usually movies give you a reason to feel suspense.....the suspense in the blair witch project was you literally waiting for something...anything, to happen. I thought the movie was supposed to have a popular ending...I won't spoil it in case people are out there like me who just never got around to watching it....but I'll tell you right now...it's probably in my top 10 worst movie endings of all time. Nothing to write home about. The only redeeming factor is that because of the way it was filmed, a lot of the actors reactions to different situations are genuine...but I mean...prepare yourself for an almost 2 hour movie about some ignorant kids who get themselves lost in the woods, and then stand around crying about it when they should be on the move. Two thumbs down.
