    Blair Witch Project sucked ass
    I watched it for the first time a few hours ago as of this posting, on television. I wanted the main characters to die, at least the two guys, less than halfway through. Repeatedly used was the cliche plot device of, "When circumstances are tense, some or all of the characters will behave as annoying and irritating as possible." How does anyone eat this up when, for the most part, it's the -opposite- of what people would do in real life? Cliche plot device #2: "The woman's intelligent and commanding while the guys are panicky idiots." She cried, but still generally held herself together than the two guys. The "women are smarter than men" motif is overplayed to hell. Testosterone gives men generally better leadership qualities, making this plot device the second instance of "human behavior played off as normal that is in fact the opposite of real life." From IMDB amateur reviews reflecting some of my other thoughts:

    The word f*** alone must be 20 % of the dialogue.
    I spent about an hour and a half sitting around in my living room on halloween waiting for something...anything to happen. Just when I thought it was coming to the big climax at the end in the house, nothing happens....big surprise.
    I rooted for the witch, which to her credit never showed up in the film. Good move on her part.
    But unfortunately to us, as the hopeful payoff that kept me watching after 20 minutes never came.
    This movie was one of the biggest let downs I have ever seen, and I've seen "Batman and Robin."
    That movie.. *shudders*.
    They walked for 15 hours and ended up where they started, how is that possible when you have a compass?

    Is this supposed to represent a documentary film crew? [...] two dweebs who act like whiny versions of Beavis and Butt-head.
    This is my favorite one, and I completely agree. The film would've been better if the two guys constantly muttered "huh huh huhhuh huh huh huh huh..."

      Wow, that is an old movie!

      I remember being pumped up to go see it in the movies only to end up very disappointed!

        This is an old movie now... when it first came out it was one of its kind... now we are all desensitised to it hence the shock factor isnt there.

        One horror flick to always have a lasting impression is The Exorcist

          this film was over-hyped when it first came out, if i had gone into it knowing nothing it probably would have been decent

                                              Terrible movie. I remember it being alright when I saw it the theatre years ago, granted I was like 12 but just watched it a few months ago and it was painful. The ending is ridiculous.

                                                  Move sucked, but: cost $30,000 to make and made $140,530,114 at the US box office. What's even more incredible they made another $47 Million with an equally bad sequel.

                                                    This movie was huge. I never saw it when it was big because of how stupid it looked, but it's pretty cool that a movie with no budget could bring in that much cash.

                                                        I love it and belive it is very quality movie. Not bad for 20k $ budget. You have millions of dollars worth movies that are basically worth shiiit. So yea, TBP is awesome movie and I still freak out when I watch it.

                                                                      According to IMDB and boxofficemojo, the average opinion was that it was just okay to slightly good, and the good majority of critics liked it, so you're not alone. I could understand the fear factor some if I saw it in theaters, but I didn't have that benefit, and I thought all the non-fear-inducing aspects of it were bad.
