Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Wuchak Released to TV in the summer of 1999 three weeks before the premiere of the found-footage film "The Blair Witch Project," "Curse of the Blair Witch" is a mockumentary (fake documentary) that goes over the mythology of the Blair witch and interviews people who knew the three amateur filmmakers who supposedly went missing in 1994. How do you review a documentary that's phony? I suppose by how real it makes its topic appear. As far as that goes, this is a quality mockumentary that inspires interest in the non-subject. I say "non-subject" because there never was a Blair witch; there wasn't even a town of Blair; nor are any of the people in the film real. It's all fake. But "Curse of the Blair Witch" was an ingenious set-up to fool people into believing (or, at least, MAYBE believing) the found-footage of "The Blair Witch Project." With the hysteria of that movie far behind us "Curse of the Blair Witch" is still entertaining for what it is and you can't help but respect its cleverness.I helps that the "documentary" only runs 44 minutes. GRADE: B

AaronCapenBanner This supplemental documentary account was made as a companion piece to the(then) upcoming film "The Blair Witch Project") It chronicles the back story of the Blair Witch, who was a old woman in colonial times who was left to die in a blizzard, and then cursed the town of Blair, in Maryland. The children started to die, and strange things were reported, all of which led to the events in the film. Hermit Rustin Parr figures prominently, and the search for the three missing filmmakers goes on... Superb mini-movie creates an effective mood of menace and dread, with interesting interviews. A must-see before watching the film itself. A model of its kind, just as good as the film!

Jigglypoof I only saw the film that this mockumentary is about today (see the comments in the comments page of the actual film). I believe I watched this on our Canadian equivalent of the Sci Fi channel, called Space... in the summer. I was tired that day so I fell asleep during some of it. At that point in the hype of the film, I was trying to find out if it was indeed fact or fiction, and I wasn't certain yet, so it did disturb me somewhat while I watched it, thinking, my God, what if this was real? I quickly learned after the credits rolled that there was no disclaimer to say that it was fact or fiction. The only thing I had to comfort me is that I don't live anywhere near there, so it couldn't happen to me. Although... we do have lots of woods here so it did bother me slightly. Later, I learned that the whole movie and mockumentary was untrue, so it set my mind at ease. Once I found out there was minimal gore, I decided I might give it a shot when it came out on VHS, but only during the day on a smaller screen, so as to lose that "thrust into it/real feeling"... though I chickened out the first time when I went to rent the last one at Blockbuster... I despise horror films... but someone bought it and decided to show it to some friends and I, so I thought, what the hell. (See my comments in the comments section of the film for more.) I can't tell you in which order to watch the film and this. You have to decide for yourself. Maybe you should see this first for a background story. After watching the film, I am still left with questions. I guess I wasn't paying as much attention to this, or the beginning of the film, as I should have. However I wouldn't recommend finding out exactly how either this or the film was made or it could somewhat spoil it for you. Just be glad that it isn't true and watch these, and enjoy them... if you can.

umainer For my money, this SciFi show packed more entertainment than the film and it was 30 mins shorter. I watched this 2 or 3 times on SciFi before seeing the movie. I can only say the movie was more of disappointment than "Phantom Menace". I think the SciFi show set the standards higher than the film was able to achieve. Even if you dont see the movie, this documentary stands alone as entertaining. I kinda wish I had never seen the movie in hindsight and kept my BWP experience to just this show.
