Blair Witch

A group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

This movie was absolutely awful.  I remember seeing the original Blair Witch Project.  It was about a month or more before it was released.  The studio came to my movie theater and asked if they could screen it for the staff.  We had no idca what it was but said sure.  We then sat there and crapped ourselves as we watched the very original and creepy as hell movie with handheld cameras.  The hype then started advertising it as the scariest movie ever and that ruined it for a lot of people because of heightened expectations.  Which is unfortunate because it really was an amazing movie.  Simple as hell but very scary.  Since that movie came out the handheld camera thing has been done to death.  Its now formula for like every other scary movie and tired as hell.  I don't know why I got my hopes up for this relaunch of this movie but it was god awful.  There was nothing scary.  The shaky handheld camera stuff was nonstop and way too much.  The movie was only an hour and 20 minutes long but felt like three hours.  Please just leave well enough alone and don't bother with these movies anymore.

I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone wasting their time or money on this movie.  It was a total waste of time and a massive insult to the greatness that the original Blair Witch Project was.
