This movie is a bit like Marmite, you will either love it or hate it. So I will expect some of the people reading this review to completely agree with me and the other half to think I am chatting complete nonsense. Personally I love this movie, which is strange for a horror movie that shows no witches, no evil, no killing and just some people in ...  Read the complete review

I had to go and see this film with my husband when it came out. I love horror films, but do get scared. To this day I cannot watch any of the nightmare on Elm Street films, a, because they are mega scary and b, because they chewed Johnny Depp up in the first film. However back to Blair Witch Project. When I first heard it being talked about I ...  Read the complete review

The build up and hype to this film was just incredible. It lasted months, weeks and weeks, you couldn't turn on the tv without seeing mention of it. It almost built a belief that this film was based on true life events, and that it would be the most horrifying tale of terror to ever hit the screens. The main Cast was (largely unknowns) ...  Read the complete review

This movie was far overrated. I was anticipating a flick that was scary and expecting a few thrills and was quite excited for the young film makers trying to make it to the big screen. Disappointed to find that the storyline was lacking, there was no depth to the characters and the filming made my stomach weak as the camera was constantly shaking. ...  Read the complete review

Three student film-makers disappear in a forest while making a spooky documentary. The wobbly, fuzzy footage (which is slightly too wobbly and made me feel sick) of their last days is found a year later. And, whaddya know, it's turned into a movie which storms the world-wide box office, turns the internet into the hottest new movie marketing ...  Read the complete review

This film was hyped up far too much. It wasn't scary at all, only boring. I did leave the cinema feeling rather nauseous bit only because somebody coulnd't hold a camera steady. The 2 other people I was with thought exactly the same as I did. We had to force ourselves to stay to the end (on the slight off-chance that the film ...  Read the complete review
