Original and demands some imagination
By a customer from Isle of Wight , 21 Jul 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
I saw this at the cinema the day it came out at 11pm as the cinema was so busy in demand for this one film, they were showing it throughout the night! Anyway...
This is the first film of it's kind and hugely original in it's thinking. Now, I don't find an axe murderer chasing a helpless woman up some stairs scary. I become irritated when the aforementioned axe murderer is hit over the head with a fire hydrant and still appears miraculously behind the next door - this film is different. It plays on your imigination, the inate fear of the dark we all have and is presented as thought you are there, at the time everything happens.
I found this film very chilling. At no point will you probably scream out loud in fear (although some may), it did however give us both a cold feeling as we left the cinema without having seen much to do so - i therefore think this movie is quite clever and miles more interesting than some regular gore fest tripe that is never going to happen to anyone. This could have happened, and for those with an imigination, that's where it becomes scary.
Ignore anyone who says this film is a waste of time, for appreciation of amateur film alone it stands out on it's own...kids being brought up on throat slitting gore wont appreciate it, and neither will those who have no imigination. I've seen virtually every 'horror' going, and this is in my top 3.- Was this review helpful to you?

(156)Still worth watching.
By a customer , 10 Apr 2013I hadn't seen the film when it first came out. I enjoyed the film, I liked the three very different characters intent on making their film and not recognising the danger.
I appreciated that the audience never knew more than they did, that I was thinking what I would have done if I'd been in their situation and wanting to knock some sense into them.
I liked the documentary style, the shaky cameras, the sporadic narration and ham-fisted interviews at the start.- Was this review helpful to you?

"What the f_ck is that!!!!"
By Bassman71 (618 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 30 Jan 2013Three young film-makers, go off to make a documentary about a Maryland myth, The Blair Witch, it doesn’t go as planned. Probably not as scary as the first time I saw it but still a very relevant horror film and I love that all the scares you don’t see and your own mind fills in the blanks. The three actors do get quite annoying as it goes on but understandably they get frustrated under the circumstances and considering how it was made the end results are outstanding.- Was this review helpful to you?

Knowing what despair is
By Scrod (3 reviews) , 24 Oct 2012Made you feel you were part of the scene. Not exactly frightening but very unsettling good build up to sudden stop. Interestingly turns around your attitude to the main character from dislike to sympathy to total compassion. I love this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Outdated movie
By Jontj (12 reviews) , 05 Sep 2012Very dated now and other found footage films outdo it. Was scary (ish) 10 years ago but not anymore. Put it on in background and every now and again it will grab your attention. (just avoid the runny nose bit!)- Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute Rubbish.
By a customer , 25 Jul 2012The only way I can see this film scaring anyone over the age of 8, is if they're petrified of the dark in the first place. I didn't like any of the characters at all and was actually looking forward to seeing them meet an untimely death. Probably the worst film I've seen for ages,avoid like the plague.- Was this review helpful to you?
