the Blair Witch Project

[FS]

Just saw it a second time, on TV, and I was wondering what people here thought about it when they first saw it.

Of course it was rather overhyped, but even though I knew it wasn't "real" the first time I saw it, I thought it was quite good. Good real life acting, pretty much the ultimate in making use of what you don't see to create suspense... I think I was a little disappointed at the bizarre ending of it all, but this really can't be compared to other horror movies - or other movies in general. I also think that if you know it's still just a movie, you need to pretend it's real to like it, and let yourself be swept along by it.

I'm not saying it was brilliant or anything, just that it was very original and well done.
