This one:
You didnt even watched more than 30 minutes of the movie and your able to say that it was shit and that there wasnt any story?
There's a lot of movie that start really slow, but gets a lot better later. I think its really stupid to stop watching a movie only because the first 20 minutes are not really good...The first 20 minutes in movies are usually used to introduce the characters, etc... and the action usually start after the 30 minutes mark. If I stopped watching movies because the first 20 minutes weren't really good then I would have missed a lot of classics and a lot of my favourite movies.
Actually, a lot of people liked The Blair Witch.
Anyway, yeah, The Blair Witch had a low budget, but it didnt need a big budget...It didnt need any special effects, it didnt need a lot of actors, it didnt need a set and it only needed normal cameras. Evil Dead totally slay Blair Witch...Its like comparing bronze with gold. Blair Witch is not even in my top 300 horror movies, but I don't think its bad.
On the subject of Blair Witch Project,has anyone seen The Last Broadcast? It's a film very similair in content to BWP,but in my opinion much better.The ending creeps me out. Henry-Portrait of a Serial Killer is a film I found quite disturbing when I first saw it in the Cinema. I think probably because the films violence has no Hollywood glamour, its quite viceral.

As I said actually the first twenty minutes is the most important, like I said. This is the time you have to grip the viewer. In the first twenty minutes you'll find the plan is to... Like you say introduce the characters, but you also have to set the story. If you don't no one will be interested because with quite a lot of modern movies only lasting around the hour and half mark that will only leave about an hour to do all the story. As well as get all the detail in about the characters devoloping within that story. Which will make it all rushed and that won't make a good film. Any good director or screen writer will tell you that it's important to set the story as quick as possible. This is why in so many films the first scene is what the whole film is based on. Then you can introduce the main players within that story and go on to add depth to it.
You do know that the sleeping bag scene was a redux of a kill in an earlier Friday the 13th(I believe it was part 6,or maybe 7)right?
Indeed you are right sir. Got me there.

I don't think its scary, but I love it! The ending is so unexpected and really great!
8/10.
MIM, you have to understand, the movie going public today (no im not naming anyone on here) has the attention span of a fly, and if you don't get their attention in the first 10 minutes or so, they get bored and tell everyone the movie sucked and was boring.
Finally saw it! It was indeed very disturbing! Not as gory as I expected, but it didnt really need any gore(there was some nasty scenes tough)... Not the kind of movie I'll watch over and over again, but it was very good for its purpose.
Anyway, I didnt understand the ending line from the movie...What's the meaning exactly? I understand the meaning, but metaphorically speaking, what's the meaning?

As time's gone on, I've become way more of a student, fan, and lover of the older horror flicks. I grew up in the slashery era of the 1980s (and for any fan of that, seek out "Going to Pieces- the Rise and Fall of the Slasher"), and for a long time, I was enamored with the makeup magic show of those. But I started to realize just how repetitive and asinine most of those really are.
So I started to look back into the Hammer, Roger Corman, etc. type of movies, and I've been loving the rediscovery of it. Seems like the late 60s/early 70s saw a lot of anthology type movies that have some good writing, and creepy stuff in them. To that end, I'd recommend:
The House that Dripped Blood (Ingrid Pitt's tittays..., Christopher Lee, Cushing, Denholm Elliot )
From Beyond the Grave (Cushing, Donald Pleasance, David Warner)
Tales from the Crypt (Joan Collins, Ralph Richardson)
Vault of Horror (More from the "Tales..." crew)
Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Terror (Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone)
Twice Told Tales (More Vincent Price)
Great flicks! Check 'em out!
