So who agrees Blair witch project is best ever horror

Nope I'm did so myself, I get tired of arguing with naterdawg, it's of no use.

I'm not arguing with anyone, so I don't get this "I'm tired of arguing with naterdawg" bullshit. 

I thought he had fallen under the witch's spell or something like that. After all they were in her house and if I remember correctly the walls were full of some magical carvings.

I liked the TV pseudo documentary "Curse of the Blair Witch" better than the movie. Despite BWP being disappointing I would have liked them do another one because the mythology was interesting. Instead producers opted for Book of Shadows which pretty much ignored it.

You know, I need to rewatch it, then, because I thought the story was that the witch simply told the boy in the original scenario to stand in the corner.

I think this a wee bit harsh--parts of Blair Witch can be a tad enjoyable, and they are able to replicate the "recorded home movie" aspect of it well--but I pretty much agree that it's not a good movie.

My favorite review of it, from Andrew Sarris: observer.com/1999/08/whos-afraid-of-the-blair-witch-project/

Just a few lines:

"...The Blair Witch Project represents the ultimate triumph of the Sundance scam: Make a heartless home movie, get enough critics to blurb in near unison 'scary,' and watch the suckers flock to be fleeced."

"...they [the other members of the 'team'] never seemed too impressed with Heather's capabilities, which makes one wonder why they trusted her to lead them into an unknown forest, all three of them carrying backpacks so heavy and bulky that Hannibal would have hesitated loading them on his elephants when he was crossing the Alps toward Rome."

"'Go back!' I kept saying to myself. 'Go back!' But Heather, the bitch, was in no mood to listen. She thought she knew everything. ... she considers herself superior to everyone around her, and that includes Mike and Josh, whom she treats as her slow-witted slaves."

"...I don't give The Blair Witch Project extra points for being so cheaply made. Many of my esteemed colleagues have chosen to use this unexpected money-maker as a club to beat the overpriced, overgadgety, overdigitalized, and overhyped mainstream turkeys gobbling up the multiplexes. Emotional emptiness, unfortunately, is unacceptable in a movie, whatever its budget."


To counter these hilarious, if nasty, thoughts, I've got to say that I liked the beginning, in which the characters are interviewing the townsfolk, and the very end, for which one has to give the filmmakers credit for giving us a truly spooky, evocative image.

Besides that? I really do find it as dull as dishwater.

Ghostwatch attempted something similar years earlier and achieved far, far better. Besides being a million times better written, directed, and acted than Blair Witch, it also succeeds, for those who (unlike Sarris) like that sort of thing, in being much scarier. 

I prefer the fake documentary too: it truly uses the mythology to the fullest. I think that's perhaps what the filmmakers should have done in the movie.

The best whore film was Two girls, one cup.
