To me, Blair Witch was a joke. You wanna talk about horror movies that have no fright factor whatsoever, that movie is it. The only thing I feared was that I would lose my lunch because I forgot to take a Dramamine before watching it. It's worse than sitting in the cabin of a boat during a hurricane. Sorry, guys. Blair Witch was a stupid movie that only did well because of creative marketing. If not for that marketing, it would have flopped horribly. I just remember that within a couple months of its video release, local stores had marked it down to half it's initial selling price and used stores had tons of copies that they couldn't even sell for US$3-4. That DVD is in so many stores' bargain bins now. Testament to a "classic", eh?

Sorry, I don't mean to rag on it. This is just an opinion much like any of yours. I'm not trying to persuade anyone, just expressing my opinion.

Hey, I was looking forward to the movie as much as anyone else. Thought it would be such a life giver to what was rapidly becoming a dead genre. Yet when I walked out of the theater, my wife, our friends, and I all wanted our money and those couple hours of our lives back.

Gimme The Exorcist any day of the week.
