I get really annoyed by people who are that dismissive of the Blair Witch project.
It was an experiment in film, and I thought it was a pretty successful experiment at that. The filming was done to be shown as clips during a fictional documentary about the disappearance of some college kids in a fictional town.
Once it was all wrapped up, the directors looked at what had been captured and decided that they could edit a pretty good narrative together with just that and basically forget the documentary setting.
A phony legend was concocted and the film was pieced together into a single story that basically describes three people walking into hell. They are doomed from the outset and watching them fall apart as the movie progresses is the whole point.
Not a standard horror movie at all. The scares are different, the acting is completely different, and once you know the ending the movie doesn't really bear repeated viewings. Still an interesting and really mesmerizing experiment in fake-reality film making.
Blair Witch 2 is just an embarrassment except for all the naked girls.

It is just a movie. A pretty bad movie at that too. The advertising made it seem like it is a real story but it is not. There were no filmmakers who disappeared looking for some sort of witch and later had their film recovered. The amount of batteries alone they would have to carry to do all of the filming would be extremely prohibitive on an amateur expedition like they did in the movie. Also, you can see the people in the movie in other movies. Kind of kills the illusion.

I have to agree with barefoot. If you'd seen it on YouTube, you would have thought it to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not so after paying $50 bucks to take your date to the theater abd buying popcorn, drinks, jujubees...and my personal favorite snocaps.
I will give the marketing team kudos...they did their job well... They had me and my friends salivating at the idea.

It's a really crappy student movie that started an urban legend.
