The Blair Witch Project

[Stakerz]

Did this actually happen?

weird movie.

 

[Macca19]

err, no.

wicked movie though.

 

[Jeffers]

thought it was a great movie. eerie is the word i'd describe it.

 

[Stakerz]

Was just on foxtel.

The end is weird.

They are at the the house, they go down to the basement? The guy falls over while recording, the girl follows him and sees him *standing* in the corner with his back to her. Then she falls over and dies.

I think the implication is that something had just clobbered her.

 

[Jane Doe]

It is a true story which makes it all the more scarier.

That doesn't explain how the guy fell over then or was the guy standing in the corner the guy that went missing?

I missed it last night but i think at the beginning of the movie they go around the town of Blair and they are told of the stories of how the Blair Witch went about killing the children and how 1 had to stand facing the wall while the Blair Witch killed the other one.

I guess that's how it was implicated at the end.

Most people say it is false. But I can see how it could be real.

It was definitely the one that went missing (one facing the wall).
It's been a while since i've seen this so hopefully it's on foxtel again soon.

Oh yeah, weird still

Noooooo it isn't.... The writers made up the Blair Witch Myth and the actors believed it during filming but by release the writers admitted the whole thing was made up...

Good improvisation, a lot of the fear is real because there wasn't any script and they just did things as they went along. Like the part when the tent shakes, that wasn't planned, but as the actors were sitting in the tent, the producers went around and banged the tent.... Quite an amazing film money wise. Cost 22000 to make and they got back 240 million or something... Crazy...

I didn't like it though... Interesting style etc but it pretty much just used a premise already set in Cannibal Holocaust. Good that they didn't show the Witch at the end though... Gives it a little more of a horror feel. A very 'true' horror film because it only uses setting and the characters to create fear. No real loud noises (ala Event Horizon) and nothing is really seen...

Anyone seen the sequel? I never knew there was one till it came on as the late night movie one night. Made the first one seem more confusing for me.

 

[Macca19]

The sequel is awful...apart from some hot goth chick getting her cans out, its one of the worst movies ive ever seen.

Actually reading on IMDB the guy standing in the corner was probably Mike (The person that didn't go missing).

Terrible movie. It doesn't even have any real connection to the first one.

 

[martyTHOMAS]

It's not real.....

Haha umm no.

Horrrrrrrible movie.
I watched an advanced midnight screening when it first opened.
The crowd actually booed as the credits rolled!

One of the worst movies I have paid money to see.

Maybe they just grabbed a nearby doof doof nightclub crowd who just didn't get it?

The movie was scripted, and actors knew that at the start. The stuff about they didn't know it was real was bollocks and just a publicity stunt (surely no-one believed it!).

And yes it was Mike in the corner, not the guy who went missing.

Great movie, only one in recent years that was even slightly scary. Shows you don't need ridiculous monster masks or blood and gore to be scary.

No actually it was a midnight screening that opened the movie in cinema's. Everybody in that cinema paid for their ticket and went to the screening at midnight because they were so keen to see the movie.

We were left feeling cheated. And unfulfilled at the end of the film.

I must also disagree on it being scary. Everyone has their own opinion and for me this movie did absolutly nothing. 2/10 and thats being kind.

Yep, it was like someone bought the naming rights and tacked some piece of cr*p movie to it.

 

[raskolnikov]

The Blair Witch Project seemed to have really divided opinion as to whether it is scary or not. My mate and I saw it at the cinema. I sat through it thinking, "Meh, not really scary at all". My mate walked out shaken and said, "That's the scariest movie I've ever seen".

If it was "real" it would make it a whole lot scarier.

I hated when it was daytime, they walk around for 15 hours? In what they said was not a big forest but they keep ending up at the same places.

Wolf Creek is a pretty messed up movie as well, considering it's real.

I think knowing that a scary movie is real makes it a whole lot better.

BTW the Chainsaw Massacre is a true story?

Wolf Creek is inspired by true events, not true by any extent really... As most films that say they are based on true events, MOST have only a smiggen of truth to them.

TCM is not real, but partly inspired by Ed Gein who DID wear peoples faces but acted alone and didn't use a chainsaw
