The biggest complaint, however, comes from the film's supposed "lack" of scary moments. Yes, these are regular people and up-and-coming actors from your local community theater, but YOU KNOW THEM. Lastly, the incessant screaming of whiny Heather, the constant complaining of average-joe Mike, and the Dudley-Do-Rightness of Josh make for great acting. I greatly admire the use of two video cameras (one black-and-white, the other color) to denote which character is shooting the film. Second, the amateur video take gives the audience the feel that they are actually in the woods, listening to the rippling water of the creek, snapping branches under their boots, and hearing things go bump in the night. First, the film has to be at most ninety minutes long: any more, and it would be too long and boring. Many critics and moviegoers complained about the film for its length, its amateurish photography/editing, and its lack of adequate acting. "The Blair Witch Project" is one darn good movie. I watched the entire film without interruption and came out with a great feeling. If you expect too much, you may be let down (take note for any Kubrick film). I settled in with the right mood for any film: no expectations. I saw this film last night, LONG after all the hype and reviews were made about it.
