It's really good..it's not one of those movies...see it to believe it....i think after watching this movie u'll have a more exciting camp trip :))
With all the hype surrounding this new independent horror film, you might think it would be hard for it to live up to expectations. The Blair Witch Project is probably as scary as it's reputation. Feel free to read on, I do not intend to give away any of the film's secrets or surprises. The less you know about this creepy little chiller, the better.
Filmed on video and 16mm black & white, this film is exactly what the horror genre needs in a time reminiscent of the early 1980s slasher onslaught. The Blair Witch Project has no knife wielding maniacs, no DNA altered monsters, and no real bloodshed onscreen. We see what the three film makers see as they make their way through the deep, dank woods in search of a legendary witch. There are times when there is nothing but a black screen, and all we can do is listen to their scared voices and the unexplained noises going on around them. The true horror behind this film is the unknown, and those dark places where you know something is lurking.
If you are a seasoned veteran of the horror cinema, The Blair Witch Project may be less frightening than for someone who has not seen many scary movies. You will have to respect it's originality, and it's manipulation of our deepest fears. At times the film really makes you feel the sense of dread the film makers are experiencing. One thing I did notice about the audience in the theater is that everyone was very quiet. Except for an occasional gasp, the moviegoers were absorbed in this film. That's unusual for a modern horror movie. Most are full of fake scare tactics and multiple twist endings that keep the audience shouting and screaming at the screen. One thing for sure, you can expect many imitations of The Blair Witch Project in the future. Isn't that how it usually goes?

It's a scary movie, intended to look like it is a real home movie. I've seen it and I'd pass on it. Instead go rent a video about actual camping and safety and learn something.

NOT good to watch just before camping, they are being mean to say that. Wait til you get back, in case you're one of the many people who was quite freaked by it.
I liked it, but it all rests on the "home movie" gimmick and how that makes it feel more real. The story itself is pretty dumb, but the gimmick makes it truly creepy.

It's original. But it's a horror movie about some students that go camping. I would recommend that you watch it AFTER the camping trip or you won't be able to sleep on your trip.

The blair witch project is pathetic.
It's like 2 hours of someone with a hand held cam corder running through some bushes.

It's pretty scary. I wouldn't want to watch it before going camping. It was supposed to be based on a true story, but was later discovered to be a hoax. Pretty good movie if you like scary stuff, but not gory. It's creepy.

I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's worth seeing once, especially since you're getting ready to go camping. It's not your typical slasher horror movie; it's more of a psychological thriller...

Well, if you want to enjoy your camping trip, don't watch the movie. Unless those types of movies don't bother you. But to be on the safe side, just wait until after your trip to watch it.
It really is kinda dumb, but I have to admit, it scarred the poop out of me when I watched it!
