well, i rewatched this in the past week. i hadn't seen it since it's theater release when i was 13. & tbh i think it scared me way more this time. also, i don't think i had originally understood how fkn clever it was. i have been reading its wiki and apparently it was filmed in just eight days? i knew it was all improv. but that makes me even more appreciative.

hooray for the underdog, etc.

I had no idea about the eight day filming or the improv. That's pretty interesting.

The Blair Witch is a fairly good movie. Not really one of my favorites but definitely something I enjoyed watching.

That movie really is underrated now. I do understand why people thought the movie was real though.

i'm going to rewatch this! the second one was a bit shit though.

yes. the second one was terrible. even though poe was on the soundtrack.

The first one was good simply because such a thing had not been done before and it conned many into believing that it was based on a real event. Which we know now it wasn't. Though the sequel was cheesy I liked it lol Story line was solid and the few twist's it had wern't over cliche'... Though the acting was pretty bad by most. I just like the goth girl and the scene in the shop when she's buying beer.

The first time I saw it, I watched it on a sunny afternoon and though I tried my best to get freaked out, I just couldn't. I regret that a lot.

I saw it in the theater with my bf on a gray SF day, and it scared the crap out of me. I still think it's one of the scariest movies ever. Maybe it helps that I grew up in the country, in the woods? I could totally picture being out there alone, lost. To me the scariest parts were (spoilers if you haven't seen it), when she finds the teeth in that little package, when the one guy disappears and later they hear him moaning in the night, and when they find that house *shudders* and go inside. I think it's a brilliant movie.

Liked Book of Shadows better... the hype around the first was not justified.

I preferred the Last Broadcast myself.
I only saw Blair Witch once. It gave me a headache and didn't scare me.

i haven't seen the last broadcast in years, that was a good one too. i'll have to rewatch both pretty soon.

The Last Broadcast was good, but the last ten minutes or so when the "reveal" came about, it just pissed me off. It truly ruined the movie for me. But the rest of the movie was frightening as hell!

i live on the edge of woodland, it scared me, i had to turn it off. lol.

I WOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF TOO! Woods have always freaked me out anyway, but Blair Witch heightened that fear.

i saw it in high school and i had missed the beginning so at first i thought it was a real documentary but the ending was definitely wtf.

It was definite WTF?! I was cussing at the screen. I felt "betrayed" . But I've recently watched it again, and decided that I liked it, but still feel the ending needs a change.

The hype was part of the point - I remember it developing through the news and it seemed to be a real story. It's easy to take for granted now that everything has a knock-off viral marketting campaign these days. Plus I think it worked best seeing it in the cinema, spoiler/reference free.

Same goes for the ending, I remember the 3rd quater of the film slouching a bit but the finale around the building is brilliant, and clearly what the film is leading up to? How can people not like it?
