It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is a prime example of marketing over substance. It is a tedious watch of low budget but also low on ideas film making. While Blair Witch Project was innovative both in marketing AND in execution, this remarkably successful flick is proof that marketing can do better when selling such low budget movies than establishment tra sh like Annihilation. It gets some redemption for this extreme low budget approach, but the only thing cult about this movie is how much money it made, or more precisely, how much money studio made buying the rights and then giving the flick to their marketing department. The ending was improved, and it is the single part that stands out a bit, but make no mistake, this is one boring marketing hoax, and the joke is on the unwitting paying viewers.

Do not judge this original film by its many sequels because this is a genuinely terrifying movie which deserves every accolade thrown its way. Its making has also become legendary in film circles- it was made for a mere 15,000 dollars, shot in one locations by part time actors but the manner with which the director goes about the story is astonishing. It literally made many people jump up in their seats. Of course, all depends on how one views this film and sitting with friends and beer won't do it any justice. Watch this one if you haven't already.

This is literally the worst movie I've ever seen. It is hours of boring, anticlimactic, unsatisfying, poorly acted disappointment. Whoever passes this movie as a good idea needs to be fired from life, because this was a complete failure. it literally had one scene worth watching, which is where the planquete catches on fire. I do not pass this as "good" mind you, I just really like fire. The ending was complete crap, and everything else in between was worse. It felt like it had no story line, but was put together by an amateur, as it was just a random sequence of events that did not mesh in any way. Please, watch something else. Do not be as foolish as I was, thinking that this would be a good film. It is literally the one movie I have ever regretted watching, and felt no emotion afterwords with the exception of disappointment.

"Paranormal Activity" is one of those movies that you either love or hate I presume. It has amassed a huge cult following over the years. But to me personally this movie just didn't deliver. It was, dare I say, the most boring movie I've ever seen. Most of the time nothing happens and you're basically just watching a couple do mundane things. I guess one could argue that it makes the movie more "realistic". As the movie progressed the acting performances didn't quite attest to the supposed realism of the movie. What I mean by that is that there were a handful of scenes where the protagonists seemed to hold back a grin. As if they realized how ridiculous certain scenes were. Just to be fair about it; the acting wasn't the worst I've ever seen but it surely wasn't the best either. More on the weaker side of things. The finale of the movie aka the ending did spook me with two consecutive jump scares but still. By that time I've already given up on the movie since it made me feel like I just wasted a significant amount of time (that could've been invested in a more meaningful way).Final Verdict: The Blaire Witch project is apparently the only good movie that ever emerged from the "found footage" genre. Together with "The Poughkeepsie Tapes", that is.
