This gave me such a sense of dread and a night of nightmares. It felt so so real-I had known it was made to look real but I couldn’t stop questioning if this was actual footage and the movie was based on a true story. Unlike anything I have seen that’s for sure.

Brec Evans-Orrell

Cassie, you are now a part of a generation that has been traumatized by this movie. You are so brave.

Cole Jennett

I feel so behind. With Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend I haven’t even gotten to watch Game of Thrones yet🫠

aarswft

As someone ancient enough to have seen this in theaters, the marketing was wild. They convinced many many people this was real.

Shawnie

Carly in October probably hides all the way back in Canada haha

Stick Figure Studios

That closing shot is one of the most chilling final images I've ever seen in a film.

Chris Thom

There it is!! Happy Halloween to us.

Chris Thom

I picture her rewatching Practical Magic again with hub.

Celeste McAllister🍓

Moral of the story,City kids should not be wondering around the spooky old woods,never give the bossy girl the map......

Blake Evans

To this day this movie still gives me the heeby-jeebies. But maybe even more disturbing is the theory that there is no Witch and the whole film was an accidental ploy for the two guys to lure Heather into the woods then murder her. The Film Theorists channel has a great theory on it, and it makes so much sense. The film works both ways, as the greats always do.

Chris Thom

After the first two Scream movies came out, that's what I had been thinking the whole time. Then I thought maybe they were just trying to scare her and the witch ghost or cult or whatever took over from there.

PianoDean

Craster was there and he sacrificed them to white walkers.

Paul Cox

There was a radical marketing campaign for this that had a lot of people questioning whether or not it was actual found footage. However, the mystery was spoiled if you lived in a region with Steak N Shake restaurants. You 100% knew it was just a movie because Heather Donahue was the star of a series of their tv ads for a couple years and very NOT murdered.

James M

OMG you survived this! I know it's not great but when I watch this it sort of seems like it's great.

Bill Maurer

Snoozefest Witch Project.

Chris Thom

Stanley Cup jump scare right out the gate. Lol

My_Cousin_Mose

11 year old me 100% bought into the story and thought it was real footage. I'm excited for this reaction this is easily my favorite scary movie.

Brian McGovern

My sister and I watched this at night and the ending freaked me right the f### out.

K, Zachary

So my friends and I saw this in theater because everyone was talking about it. So 5 of us went which was weird normally only 3 or 4 of us go. After the movie was over we all felt nauseous and sick I had vertigo really bad. It wasn't the movie because we thought it was just decent. They took that found footage thing way to far. So it turns out that it was like being sea sick without being on the sea. It was the shakiness of the camera during the whole movie as my Mom described it. Paranormal Activity had the same thing which PA 2 was is so much better than the first one. Just a FYI. Oh and Caitlin Clark is hanging out with Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game right now.

Johnny Salinas

I was a projectionist and we got a print for it like 3 months before any word of what it was or hype for it began. It was for a press screening

Mike Lemon

You can't fool me. Everyone knows a Canadian hasn't had the Stanley Cup for 30 years.

Just Plain Bob

When I saw this in the theater, I was expecting them to reveal that locals were terrorizing the trio of filmmakers. It never made sense to me that a witch/ghost was off somewhere doing crafts and then trying to scare them with the results. That said, the filmmakers at least deserve credit for realizing how the internet could be used to create a viral marketing campaign and they did so very well. The idea of a found footage movie was not new with this film. It had been done before, most notably with “Cannibal Holocaust” twenty years earlier. The director of that film, Ruggero Deodato, also had the idea of asking his cast to go into hiding after completing the film, to play into the illusion that it was real. It worked too well. He had to ask them to come out of hiding when Italian authorities threatened to prosecute him for murdering his cast, believing that he’d made a snuff film.

Cole Jennett

More Canadians win the Stanley Cup every year than any other country. Cities don’t win Cups

Patrick Flanagan

I saw this under ideal circumstances, in an empty movie theater I worked at early in the morning after work. The whole building was empty and my friends and I could hear the thunderstorm raining down the roof...and then silence. I've never had a movie experience like this...but it only worked on me once. Repeat viewings made the whole thing seem tame. Also, this movie seems to have a real Laurel/Yanny thing happening - some people watch and are totally engrossed, others find it laughable or boring.

FranciscoGios

Well I'm not going to miss this one, I know this one made you think, are Witches real!? Lol

Patrick Flanagan

Also, this movie was one of what I consider The Big Three in terms of '90s horror movies, along with THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and SCREAM. All three were tremendously influential and inspired dozens of similar films, if not outright rip-offs. The found footage subgenre of horror is still with us today, although greatly reduced in number.

Shad Kanyak

I miss the days when the internet didn’t ruin movies. It also probably helps that the cast didn’t really do much beyond this, so helps maintain the illusion for new viewers 26 years later.

Sam Whitewater

My 13yo was obsessed with this movie last year. Too bad the sequels don't live up to the original, although Book of Shadows is my type of cheese :P

Just Plain Bob

I was surprised then and am surprised now that some people thought this movie was real. It never crossed my mind that it was real. Not that I’m any less gullible than anyone else. (I’ve been taken in by my share of faked pics. Remember the one with the great white attacking the helicopter? I believed that.) It simply didn’t occur to me that it might be real, even with the marketing campaign. My thoughts at the time were that it was a clever way to market the movie, much better than the standard toy rollout and McDonald’s promotions. In fact, I thought the pre-release faux documentary was better done than the movie itself (I thought the female actress was abysmal). So I really looked forward to the film. Then I saw it and was bored to death (almost walked out).

Kevin (GiantFutures.com)

I was a film student when this came out, and its marketing as an Indy film was perfect, making it seem like actual found footage. Even the early website (before the web was huge) also had a local news segment made (a fake one) treating the case like a real missing person’s case, so going into it, one really didn’t know if it was real. To this day, one of the most scary in theater experiences of my life.

fish_thefilmcollector

Back when this came out the marketing was top notch! The Internet as we know it was brand new & they took advantage! Most of the public thought this was real! So well done! This brought "FOUND FOOTAGE" films as a genre to the forefront. In the theater some people couldn't handle the bouncing of the camera. My sister had to leave due to motion sickness.

Blake Evans

Or Mike and Josh just left

Brent Petty

I watched this in the theater and was bored out of my mind. Great concept. Not scary.

Ignis Rændl

who's idea was it to torture Cassie with this movie? 🤭😳 oh man it's gunna be wild 🤫😉

Brent Petty

"Woods equals scary to me." LOL, Cassie, EVERYTHING equals scary to you.

Chris Thom

The sequel Blair Witch: Book of Shadows is pretty good. It's more of a straightforward movie with a score and cinematography and all that. It didn't get great reviews, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure. It expands on the lore a bit. Worth seeing.

Chris Thom

It could've been so, so much better with a decent budget. The sequel was fun.

Choof

The whole thing was a movie i can assure you. It was just purposefully done to look and sound as if its real footage to add to the immersion and especially in the early internet era to convince people it was real. It was made for around 200k when you factor in all the marketing and ancillary costs apparently but ended up making 250 MILLION which im sure still stands as the biggest return on investment in movie history. It really started the "found footage" horror genre which really took off in the late 2000s with Paranormal Activity (2009). I prefer that movie and im guessing that would scare you even more if you can imagine.

Chris Thom

This movie always reminds me of AOL, and Netscape Navigator and Quicktime and the old look of all the websites.

Chris Thom

SNL refers to them as the Big Dumb Cup. By the makers of Big Silly Hat. Lol

2-Can

Think how far you've come since Jaws - where you admitted you were scared of the ocean because . . . it's wet.

Scott Macaulay

This was one of the first movies to use online viral marketing back when it came out. There is a companion doc called The Curse of the Blair Witch I recommend that gives the deets on the lore etc. I think it can be found on YouTube.

Chris Thom

Think Paranormal Activity went on to be the new most profitable movie in history. Literally.

Chris Thom

Always thought people kind of slept on Copycat (1995). Great one. Would be fun to see that on the channel someday.

Just Plain Bob

I liked Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows much more than the original. Not a classic by any stretch, but fun and more than a few chills.

Chris Thom

It's next on the schedule.

TheSingulatarian

Not one of my favorites. I quite frankly find it a bit boring. Too many real scary stories here in New England like witch trials and the Jewett City Vampires. I'd rather watch a few old episodes of Leonard Nimoy's "In Search of". To each his own.

Chris Thom

I liked it a lot. Really captures a vibe of paranoia and insanity. Which tonally is a nice expanding of the themes of the first one.

Chris Thom

In Search Of? Is that a true crime thing?

Just Plain Bob

I love “In Search of” and have the whole series on dvd. I wish they’d restore the original video as much as possible and do a re-release, though, because the image quality is very much substandard.

Simmeland

One of the best horror movies ever made,

Johnny Bullis

So Cass.. I saw this back in 1999 when it came out and I was working at a movie theater.. the managers were doing a screening of it before they did a sneak peak later that night and I went in on my break to watch part of it and thought OMG this is so messed up that this actually happened.. keep in mind back then everyone thought it was real footage and the events actually happened.. when I went to go watch the whole movie that night a friend told me to stay til the end of the credits .. and sure enough at the end of the credits , it basically said it was all fictional.. so I was quite relieved. The 3 actors actually showed up later that year at the Mtv movie awards.. so at that point the cat was out of the bag.

Just Plain Bob

Chris, “In Search of” was a precursor to the tv shows today where they hunt for ghosts or Bigfoot. Although Leonard Nimoy (aka Spock) was primarily in studio and it was treated as a series of mini-documentaries. They explored ancient civilizations, UFOs, ghosts, demonic possession, Bigfoot and the Yeti, the Bermuda Triangle, ESP, etc.

Chris Thom

Sounds good. Never heard of that one. The title took me back to that show Unsolved Mysteries for some reason.

Chris Thom

True. Plus Heather seemed to be the one in charge for the most part. But thought it was interesting that none of them seemed to know each other before taking the job. But the movie could be a masterclass on gaslighting if it really was a setup.

Rick Williams

This was a great movie for you Cassie. It worked you up and you gave a great reaction. This was my first time watching this movie. It was designed to amp you up and let your imagination take over.

Rick Williams

I didn't see a Stanley cup. That was one of those insulated cups that were all the rage like a year ago? Everyone was buying them.

My_Cousin_Mose

This reaction was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I've seen scarier movies sure but the realism combined with their screams makes me feel their fear so much more. I love that we don't ever see anything. We don't need to.

GM

Dude you've gotten so brave! If you can survive TBWP, you can handle a lot of movies. If you want to really test your limit, do 1) The Ring. And if you finish that, then 2) The Descent.

Brian's Dog

Even creepier stuff is free on youtube now. "abandoned building encounters". I can't believe they go in to those at night.

JL_83

remember when this was in theaters; didn’t go see it at the time, but do recall that people couldn’t stop talking about it!

Brent Petty

I can't watch Heather's up close apology/goodbye without thinking of the Scary Movie version and laughing hysterically.

Patrick Flanagan

So you actually thought it was footage of a real witch murdering three people?

Brent Petty

Hopefully Train to Busan is the week after, then. So psyched.

Patrick Flanagan

IN SEARCH OF... was a great show...about fifty years ago.

Brent Petty

Harry Connick Jr's best role. Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter were excellent as well.

Chris Thom

I can't really tell the difference and just call them all Stanley cups.

Just Plain Bob

Her terrible acting was the weakest part of the whole film to me. The guys were very naturalistic. She was trying to do Hollywood acting. It didn’t work, particularly not in contrast to her co-stars. At no point did I find her even remotely believable.

Chris Thom

Yeah great performances. My intro to Holly Hunter. All of them were very convincing in their roles.

Just Plain Bob

I agree. There’s videos out there that were made on no budget at all that are much much scarier than BWP.

Brent Petty

I found her to be very believably annoying. I think even Cassie wanted to choose violence at one point. :)

Above Average Dave

If this scared you, and filled you with dread, Cassie, stay far, far away from THE ROAD with Aragorn himself, Viggo Mortensen. If you’ve ever been in a country where the power and water have been down for a week, and people are getting hungry, well THE ROAD reminds me far too much of that.

MacGuffinStuff

First off I'm so proud of you Cassie, I'm a horror fan since the first time I saw Freddie at like 8 years old, and it's a rare few movies that actually got under my skin. And this is one of the big ones. Although I saw it in theater back when the viral campaign was legit and I thought it was true, Myrick and Sanchez were geniuses for this and it's still a horror classic. And then I remember the drive back to my barracks (I was in the Army at the time, watched it in a small theater in town), and looking out into the desert black night and wondering what was out there, after growing up hearing stories about La Llorona, the witch by the water that steals kids 🤣 It's the atmosphere they created that makes it a solid horror classic, I think it's the most financially successful horror film ever because it was done so cheaply. And I love that guerrilla filmmaking style like Sam Raimi and company on the Evil Dead movies. And how crazy is it that these movies can just say they're true. Btw the witch is based on the Bell Witch of Tennessee. And Josh, the actor Josh Leonard, was also in True Detective, funny Cassie you mentioned that show, he was one of the bikers in the episode with McConaughey going back undercover. AND he was in an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories, telling his.

Steve Smith

I know a few people who were convinced this was shot as it was happening. A tribute to how well-made it was, for the most part.

Clay F

+1 for THE ROAD

Xavier Casanova

This movie IS real, the story is not. While they were actors, they really camped out over a weekend, they really braved the elements, they adlibbed all of their dialogue. There was no one with them giving them food or other supplies. The directors/writers of the film would follow them, leaving story notes for each of the actors to find. But what the actors did with the notes, and how the others reacted to their behavior was all the actors. That's why this is a one of a kind film. My favorite horror film and one of my favorite films all time. Have seen it easily 100 times.

Clay F

I know may have seem real to you in the beginning -- but wasn't. The entire movie all pretend, all fake. Like with the found footage movie Cloverfield last October = not real. I liked Cloverfield -- I think that was my favorite last October. Enjoyed your reactions to both Cloverfield and this. Hope no nightmares stick. Maybe you will be able to make it back into the woods at some point without too much fear. I spent a lot of time in the woods as a kid (e.g., hunting), including at night which could be a little creepy. I typically had a compass and sometimes would rely on a fenceline (or other stuff) for bearings. I recommend "Deliverance" (1972) (Adventure/Thriller) mentioned in the movie. Has Burt Reynolds. This was my first full watch. Of course, I've always known about the movie (and remember the marketing) but only watched bits and pieces. I've never been into horror movies but have grown recently to appreciate some in watching reactions, e.g., I now think The Shining (which I had never seen) is a work of art. Trivia: Actress Heather Donahue's mother received sympathy cards from people who believed her daughter had genuinely gone missing or died.

Clay F

I would be afraid to try it with how bad the reviews. IMDb 4.2, RT 14%, RT Audience 18%, Letterboxd 1.9/5

Rod Reavern

Cassie's reaction/commentary made it worth re-watching TBWP, which I never liked because it had been overhyped by the time I watched it on VHS, and I thought it was totally overrated. The "lost in the woods" parts of the movie never worked for me -- they were tedious and frustrating. I understand that some people are terrified of the woods, so presumably those scenes were effective at building tension and fear; whereas for me, both sides of my family have cottages, so I've spent a lot of time in the woods, and I'm just not afraid. TBWP left it ambiguous whether the trio was lost because Heather couldn't navigate properly or if "the witch" messed with them. I recall that Heather admitted (off-camera) that she was briefly lost during the first day, before they encountered and disturbed the rock piles, which subsequently undermined her credibility in navigating, and was compounded by her prideful insistence that they weren't lost. Adding to the confusion was the fact that it didn't seem like they were deliberately backtracking along the same route (which was why they freaked out when they encountered the same fallen logs over the stream), so they weren't even following one of the most basic rules of orienteering, which is retracing your steps if and when you get lost. The first step in resolving a problem is acknowledging that the problem exists. Heather pridefully refused to admit they were lost, so she never used any techniques to reorient and PLAN their way out. TBF, neither did the two guys. All three of them just blundered blindly through woods, making terrible decisions (AND indecisions). Due to the supernatural element, the audience is unsure whether they were lost due to their own incompetence or if the witch was manipulating them. Early in the movie, between 20-40 minutes, the supernatural elements were not present; instead, there was just the melodrama between the three characters, none of whom I really liked or empathized with; I was just watching shaky-cam footage of three a-holes shouting at each other in the woods. By the time they encountered the stickmen and three piles of rocks, at which point, the supernatural element took hold, it was just constant arguing and screaming in the dark. It wasn't scary, it was just irritating. Additionally, I wasn't impressed by the guerrilla filmmaking techniques, particularly the nighttime sounds. The actors said it sounded like footsteps, but it was obviously the sound of stones being clapped together. In the morning, the three rock piles implied that those were the stones they had heard, but it doesn't make any sense. Obviously, those sounds were recorded in post. Also, the random "blue slime" on Mike's stuff was never explained; presumably, another improvised technique (implied to be ectoplasm) that didn't reference any of the Blair Witch lore established in the movie, or even myths about witches, and was never used again. All of these disparate elements never coalesced into a compelling movie, which is why TBWP was such a slog to get through, and it was not remotely scary. Some people praise TBWP as brilliant, whereas I consider it random crap edited together into a semi-coherent movie. You obviously need to enjoy the movie in the first place to begin heaping praise on it. The closest thing in TBWP that I could relate to was my memory of the argument I had with my sister over choosing to rent TBWP instead of "The Ninth Gate" (1999). My sister hated TBWP as much as I did, but stubbornly refused to admit she made a mistake in choosing it. At least Cassie got into the movie, and her reaction was entertaining! BTW, "The Ninth Gate" (1999) is a much scarier and more intriguing movie; I hope Cassie watches it on the channel. (It stars Johnny Depp in one of his best non-goofy performances.)

Brian Harris

People forget how brilliantly acted this movie is. You’re right, they were completely believable.

Philip Alan

I truly loved the story arc of your reaction. Non-believer to believer in 60 mins. I enjoyed this one.

First Name Ella

I can't even comprehend being so scared of this movie in HIGH SCHOOL that you have to sleep with your parents. That just sounds insane to me.

Shehab Dawoud

Where are the geniuses who said that she would not find it scary and she'd be laughing about it? Remember who it is you're talking about. As others have said, the real brilliance of this movie is the way it was marketed, which made people think it was actual footage. And the internet back then wasn't what it is today, so people couldn't just Google whether it was real or not. It obviously wouldn't work today. It was like catching lightning in a bottle for them. The last scene is very scary because of what we hear earlier about the kids facing the wall. But the scariest scene to me is where we hear the little kids laughing at night. Can you imagine that? Thinking you're the only ones in the woods and you hear kids laughing? I would've probably just offed myself right there. You're right at the end, the fear of the unknown is sometimes scarier than anything else. That's the biggest compliment you can give the movie: Nothing happens, but you're still scared or on the edge.

First Name Ella

32:40 wouldn't have helped. Blair Witch was making them go in circles.

First Name Ella

45:49 I think that's kind of the point? Like all legends, there are various inconsistencies and differing stories about who/what the Blair Witch is and what she's done.

Canadianant

This movie was a phenomenon when it came out in '99. There was previously no such thing as a found footage horror movie. It's proof positive that nothing is scarier than your own imagination. It works so well at setting off that tingling feeling in your skin and a sense of dread. Because it was shot in such a real life ad-libbed way, it truly feels like it could be somebody's home movie footage. The original marketing for this movie was genius and that it kind of played on that. Is it true? Is it really The story of documentarians that got lost in the woods? I thought this movie was genius to be honest. Low budget filmmaking at its best combined with great marketing. It really was one of the first movies that took advantage of viral marketing combined with word of mouth.it truly changed the landscape and started the found footage craze. Silent Bob himself . Director Kevin Smith tells a great story of how one of his producers had an advanced copy of this movie prior to its theatre release and he started watching it at home with his wife. He was tired so he ended up falling asleep. He ended up going to bed. She kept watching the movie and woke him up an hour later in a mad panic waking him up screaming. Why doesn't somebody help those kids? Those kids are lost in the woods. We've got to go help them. She was in a mad panic. He tried to explain to her that it was a movie and that they were actors but she wouldn't believe him. He actually had to call the producer of the movie in the middle of the night and have him explain to her that no it's okay. These are actors. It's a just a movie and she wouldn't believe him. Lmao .

Canadianant

Wow It's interesting in that. I guess it just goes to show that how different people view things completely different. I saw the second Blair witch in the theater and I was so disappointed. It had none of the actual scariness of the first movie. I thought that the first movie kind of had lightning in the bottle and the second one just felt like a cookie cutter. Hollywood attempt at a horror movie.

Clarence Newman

I'm one of the many who fell for the marketing, and for those who didn't, I can tell you that it's a VASTLY different experience! For the record, I never for one minute believed that a witch was responsible for what was happening. What I genuinely thought was that a bunch of sick rednecks had heard about their little excursion, followed them into the woods and screwed with them. Like the first two-thirds of Jeepers Creepers (as opposed to everything after the reveal), the idea of sick, twisted people doing that shit is far scarier than made-up monsters. Having watched the film on DVD, I didn't sleep that night either. I felt so sorry for those poor kids. The following day, I started poking around the DVD extras, looking for *something* to remove the icky feeling I had in my stomach. It took a while, because the extras were ambiguously titled, but when I finally came across an interview with the cast talking about the film, I literally felt euphoric. Yes, I was dumb and I fell for it, but I have a far greater appreciation of the film as a result. Once again, I'm on my feet applauding Cassie. She's not doing this for herself. She's doing it for us.

Björn Karlsson

Another great lost-and-found movie is Trollhunter. More fun than scary 😃😃😃

First Name Ella

1:17:21 lmaoooo Cassie scared herself more than the movie did

First Name Ella

Cassie hahaha the whole thing is pretend. Also it says at the beginning that they disappeared but a year later the footage was found. You should watch the fake "documentary" and the actual documentary about its making

First Name Ella

Only for people with little imagination.

Rick Rodriguez

Wow. I have not seen this since 1999 on opening night! I was one of the few who admired the heck out of it and didn't resent it for not being a typical 90s horror schlock fest. Had me gripped the entire time. Will enjoy rewatching along with Cassie's reaction after all these years.

Jim

I remember the marketing campaign and it was genius. It was incredibly detailed with pictures of rusted film cans that were “found” that belonged to the three filmmakers, and still photos from the film that “were released by the local sheriff’s office” seeking information of whereabouts of the 3 missing filmmakers. Even their IMBd pages listed them as missing or deceased. And so much more. Just so incredibly detailed that it made it all look like a very real missing persons case. Pure marketing genius.

Clay F

I never believed it was real. But there is a deceptive pseudo-realism about it at the start -- good acting and directing. I liked it better this time than I did 25 years ago.

Nick Ireland

Haha I saw Candyman when I was 13 and had to sleep on the floor of my parents room

Nick Ireland

She should watch the original Japanese "Ringu". Much scarier than The Ring.

Jay

"There was previously no such thing as a found footage horror movie" Ruggero Deodato will be turning in his grave:)

Canadianant

I stand corrected. I'm certainly not a horror expert by any stretch as it was more my ex wife who was the horror fan. Where as I have heard of films like cannibal Holocaust, I've certainly never seen them. Blair witch certainly changed the game as to the mainstream knowledge and awareness of found footage. The number of found footage filmed since then has certainly exploded.

Clarence Newman

Just finished watching the reaction. OK, that's it. Cassie's done her two tours in 'Nam and now she needs some compassionate leave. From here on in, every October movie should be prefixed with the words "Abbot and Costello Meet...."

Scott Macaulay

I didn't really believe it, but there was enough doubt to make interesting in the day.

Scott Macaulay

The movie is really about the psychological breakdown of the kids lost in the woods more than the supernatural element. This would be their reaction regardless of there being a witch.

Johnny Bullis

Not just me.. they marketed it as a real found footage movie.. and everyone who hadnt seen the movie thought it was real.. so yes. In 1999, the internet didnt have all the spoiler sites we have now a days. And the movie never says its a witch killing anyone.. thats part of the mystery of it.

Johnny Bullis

Back in 99 , those who didnt see it thought it was real footage.. the internet wasnt rife with spoiler sites like it is today.. and its not confirmed in the movie that a witch is killing anyone.. thats part of the mystery.

Mad World

Yeah this movie really changed horror movies for me.. i was scared in a different way.. it followed me for a long time and i really thought it was real sometimes :D

LukeG84

A tough rewatch. I had seen this movie once before, but remembered very little. It's just so realistic. Makes for very tense viewing. Cassie, this movie is about three people going into the woods to film a documentary, and never been seen again. Then all the footage they recorded being found a year later. It is presented as real, but it's just clever filmmaking. It's all fake and everyone you see is an actor.

Popcorn In Bed

haha that was me and half of moth man prophecies-had nightmares for a year

Popcorn In Bed

do you think even the interview people were actors?

OddThomas

Lake Mungo is another great found footage movie; my favourite in fact

Joe J

Next up for Cassie....Deliverence, lol.

Clarence Newman

An absolute Care Bear of a movie compared to Blair Witch and The Fly! Do it, Cassie. It will restore your faith in the safety of the woods.

Joe J

I usually just watch the YT edits, but this one is only 81 minutes, so I'll do the watch-a-long. The edit will probably be so short if I blinked I'd miss it, lol.

Joe J

She's already had "The Monster Squad" for playtime, lol. My prediction for the remainder of October is....pain.

Bill Maurer

My imagination is vivid. Vivid I say, that movie was a snoozefest from frame 1.

Kevin Farrell

I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there are copyright laws that prevent her from doing this

Tim MacKay

But so many other reactors do it on Patreon. So why can they?

Tim MacKay

She uses YouTube to upload the uncut reaction that’s probably why she can’t. It’s whatever it’s just annoying to sync your own copy

Patrick Flanagan

Not to be rude, but actually lots of us realized that a Hollywood studio wouldn't put out a feature length movie of three people filming their own murders

Just Plain Bob

Copyright infringement carries penalties up to $250k and five years in prison for each infringement. The reactors that are posting full, unblurred video of the movies are taking a hell of a risk and if there’s a crackdown, they’ve worked their way into bankruptcy and years spent in a courtroom trying to defend their actions.

Stephen Dias

I'm on vacation this week (and it's raining buckets), so it's a good time to get caught up on things. Last night, I finally started the reactions to season 2 of "Game of Thrones." For some reason, I never saw "The Blair Witch Project," so I'll probably check that out. Also, totally unrelated, but I was in Barnes & Noble the other day and picked up the DVD for "Houseboat (1958)," which was on sale. Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. Can't go wrong.

Catherine LW

I found the kids annoying and laughable. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Stick Figure Studios

And they had a couple other options that they could have gone with. Shots that were far more gruesome and overtly "scary," but in the end they realized that less is more.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I remember all that. I saw it in the theater too, but I fortunately didn't know there was fake when I went in there... not that that made it any less scary to experience.

Clay F

I think actors but did seem so real — especially if a viewer predisposed to think that. Edit correction: some people in the scenes shot in the town of Burkittsville where locals interviewed = not actors but real people. However, some were "planted actors". 1. Local "townspeople" included non-actors (your perceptive perception at least in part correct): Some interviews in Burkittsville were conducted with actual residents not part of cast. 2. Some were "planted actors": To maintain realism of found-footage style, some individuals posing as townspeople were actors not known to the main cast.

Stick Figure Studios

As I say in my own comment, that closing shot has to be one of the most chilling final images I've ever seen in a movie.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, the huge disparity end experiences for people who watch this movie is kind of mind-boggling.

Stick Figure Studios

Some of them were, but some of them were just ordinary local townsfolk who were allowed to tell whatever stories on camera that they wanted.

Stick Figure Studios

I have always thought so, but I'm seeing comments where some people think that the acting is bad, particularly by the girl. I just don't get it.

Ricardo Alanis

I watched this a few times in theaters and it was a brilliant marketing campaign (there was a companion documentary that aired on TV to fill in more of the lore to make it look real). The director/producer commentary is great (and funny) about how they show it and most is ad-libbed and the 3 stars didn’t know exactly what would be going down. Skip the direct sequel (book or shadows) but the more recent The Blair Witch follow’s Heather’s little brother trying to find out what happened and is good while adding a bit more explanation.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, this was not the first one, but it's basically the "godfather" of the subgenre.

Stick Figure Studios

TROLL HUNTER is great. I love every movie directed by André Øvredal.

Stick Figure Studios

Your statement about resenting it for not being a typical '90s horror film is rather astute. It seems to me that a lot of horror fans don't really like it because it's not a conventional "movie" (with polished cinematography, a creepy music score, andard filmmaking techniques, jumpscares and so forth). They say they find it boring and annoying, but then a lot of real life would be boring and annoying If you put it up on the big screen. I think they prefer the "enhanced" reality that we see in films rather than a far more realistic reality like we see in this one.

badgersnake

Two other good found footage movies are Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity

Clay F

Her reaction to Cloverfield last October is great. My favorite last October.

Steve Holton

One of Miramax Studio's most lamentable financial decisions was passing on the opportunity to acquire and distribute this film. The Blair Witch Project went on to be one of the most profitable films in history. The decision to pass was made by Miramax executive Jason Blum, who didn’t think this movie would be a hit. Fortunately, Jason Blum did have the opportunity to correct his error with Blumhouse productions which, with his direction, launched the Paranormal Activity franchise.

Eric

Yes. Even the people being interviewed were acting. There is no Blair Witch myth in real life. It's all part of making it feel as real as possible.

Clay F

"25th Hour" (2002) [Spike Lee]. Character-driven. Edward Norton smooth. IMDb 7.6, RT 80%, RT Audience 85%. I love this movie. On list of PAF entries. Not found footage but narration. Edward Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Barry Pepper (e.g., sniper in SPR) = 3 childhood friends who took different paths into adulthood but remained best friends. Anna Paquin plays a 17-year-old high school student.

Brent Petty

One underappreciated "found footage" film is Chronicle. Co-starring a pre-superstardom Michael B. Jordan.

Brent Petty

Chronicle is a very good one as well.

Rick Rodriguez

And there's a lack of historical appreciation. It arguably created the found footage genre. But uses no bells and whistles, as you pointed out. It's one the best horror movies to depict the primal terror of the night.

Just Plain Bob

Steve, they sat on Paranormal Activity and had no intention of releasing it. That changed when the filmmakers, frustrated that their film would seemingly never be released, started an online petition. I was one of those that signed the petition. Everyone that did so had their names included in a special thanks in the credits on the dvd. In the early 00s, for whatever reason, distributors (particularly the Weinsteins) made a habit of buying up horror movies and then not releasing them or only doing so after heavy revisions. As a horror movie fan, it really seemed as though they were deliberately trying to undermine the genre.

Just Plain Bob

Lake Mungo is fantastic. Very creepy, keeps you guessing and a great payoff.

Clarence Newman

I would drop a like on your comment, Joe, but mine is currently beating yours 4 to 2 which suggests that more people agree with my idea. One of the 4 likes was me, but it still counts.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, I couldn’t disagree more. Deliverance is much more disturbing than Blair Witch.

Chris Thom

At the time, people didn't like how different it was. And it's only a vague continuation of the first one. But if you just accept it for what it is it's pretty enjoyable. It's presented as much more of a mainstream Hollywood thing, which I think was a good choice because the general lore had real potential. But I've seen it like eight times and never regret it!

Chris Thom

Uber depressing movie. But well done.

Chris Thom

I loved the slick formula for horror in the 90's, not gonna lie. Appreciated this for what it was too.

Clay F

+1 for Chronicle (2012). Saw that in the theater with my son.

Macabre Movie Maniac

When I saw this in theatres all those years ago I so wanted that shit to be real. I was ready to go to New England and investigate.

Chris Thom

That's kind of what the sequel is about. Fans that took it seriously but maybe not seriously enough, and stumble on actual supernatural.

Chris Thom

Curious if she'll find Carrie scary. I always think of that as more of a supernatural drama.

Clarence Newman

Deliverance never bothered me that much, Bob. I was a huge Burt Reynolds fan when I first watched it and I was eating up everything he did. I just found it exciting and a great story. According to Ned Beatty, though, Bill McKinney was just a little too enthusiastic about "that scene". He kept coming up behind him on set and saying, "I'm really lookin' forward to our scene tomorra', boi'." Ned had to get John Boorman (director) to tell him to cut it out.

Clarence Newman

Surely not as much as Blair Witch or The Fly. I wonder what side of the dynamic she'll identify with, though. Was she a Penny from Big Bang in High School, or Amy Farrah Fowler?

Macabre Movie Maniac

Oh yeah. Love me some Kim Director and Erica Leerhsen. 🖤🖤

Steve Holton

Bob, that is true. And that effort deserves much credit for prompting Jason Blum to work with the director to re-edit the movie. The new edit and likely his past history with The Blair Witch Project then led Blum to champion the film to the studio for commercial release.

Rod Reavern

@LittleGalaxyBoy: Shouldn't you be protesting Columbus Day, lil' boy.

Rod Reavern

@Scott Macaulay: The BS artsy defence of it being a "psychological breakdown" doesn't work when "witch" is literally in the movie's title. Regardless, my main criticism was that TBWP was essentially "three a-holes getting lost in the woods and screaming at each other," so I AGREE, the witch did NOT matter.

Rod Reavern

@LittleGalaxyBoy: I don't believe anything about you is honest, lil' boy. You're just here to troll because you literally have nothing better to do. #sad

Richard Maurer

JP Bob - The Weinstein’s were bullies in general. Peter Jackson and his team working on LotR notoriously couldn’t stand them, especially Harvey.

Biggman83

I hadn’t watched it till now. When I was younger Horror movies weren’t my thing, so I never saw it back in 99. It’s been on my watch list for a while, but just hadn’t got round to watching. My favourite found footage is Hell House LLC, creepy AF! Innkeeper is also very good.

Above Average Dave

Go look up "Carrington Event" or "Zero Day Attack." THE ROAD is what the world looks like 1 month after either of those. One of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen.

Chris Thom

Haven't seen them in a while. Wonder if they're still in the business.

Chris Thom

I skipped forward to when they started to get lost.

Chris Thom

Is that the one where they all wake up with super powers one day?

Macabre Movie Maniac

Erica played Pepper on the 2003 TCM remake. Kim played Stevie on Inside Man. Beyond that, no clue.

Patrick Flanagan

She's playing someone who's a film student making her first documentary - of COURSE there will be scenes where she looks like she's playing to the camera. People often say "her acting is terrible" when what they actually I mean is "I hate that character"

Patrick Flanagan

Picking fights and making personal insults in a comments section is quintessential trolling behavior.

Patrick Flanagan

If you were instantly put asleep from the very first frame, maybe you were just already tired

Brian Harris

Also, it never fails to amaze me how easy most people think acting is and how quick they are to make casual judgments about what’s good and bad acting. Consumers have a real weird relationship with actors.

Patrick Flanagan

To the point where people actually seemed ANGRY that it was just a movie and that three people hadn't actually been killed. "WHAT A RIP-OFF!" I heard someone say after it was over during my second time watching it. Some people are incredibly stupid

Rick Rodriguez

@Biggman83. Is Hell house on shudder?

Rick Rodriguez

@Chris. Not knocking 90s horror. But after Scream there was a certain expectation from even supernatural movies to have certain beats in scary flicks.

Chris Thom

Ohhh no way didn't realize that was the same actress in Texas Chainsaw. Great horror remake. One of the best ever.

Macabre Movie Maniac

Oh it's my fav horror flick of all time. My brother and I saw it the HOUR it came out in Destin FL. 4:45pm on Oct 17, 2003. I was 21, he was 18. After it was over we came out of the theatre and slapped each other high fives.

crazyivan

This entire movie sucked...except the last two seconds.

Chris Thom

Got rid of social media a decade plus ago. All I have left is this and YouTube.

Scott Macaulay

Oh I agree with you. I’m just saying the subtext basically. Like how Jaws is about a shark, but it’s also a man’s struggle to overcome his fears and ‘slay the dragon’’. There is a shark of course, and we barely see it. Multiple levels. Good fun.

Chris Thom

Think it could've been much better with another three mil budget. A lot of the elements were there. Realism was a big plus. But do feel like it was missing something essential.

Scott Macaulay

I like that one. I considered it a guilty pleasure so glad someone else enjoys it.

Björn Karlsson

The autopsy of Jane Doe - 2016 😬😬😬

Scott Macaulay

It was fun watching her go from ‘Huh? What’s this’ to ‘Aaaaaaaaahhh!’ 😂

Philip Alan

I had to see her reaction to the pure randomness of the beginning. And I was rewarded.

Philip Alan

Oh, and btw, theaters had to post signs on the ticket windows warning viewers you might get dizzy while watching the movie (after many many complaints about the chaotic shooting).

Gray

I'd love a Descent reaction

Gray

I'd agree watching it back after many years and the acting is pretty good tbh, I've seen much worse in mainstream films from big actors that's for sure

Gray

I've always rather liked this film and think it's well made, although not scary to me at all anymore seeing it in the cinema at 13 after all that brilliant marketing freaked me out big time. At the time I lived in a village surrounded by woods so whenever it started to get dark that journey home after hanging with mates was probably the quickest I ever ran in my life haha.

Gray

The spanish version of the film REC is a great found footage movie aswell

The Jurassic Depot

After the film was released, they marketed the movie as real, wanted missing person posters and news articles began being shown to keep the public actually guessing that these kids went missing, they also told the actors to stay out of the public eye for so many years because they wanted to market this film as a true story and that actual footage was found, making people think they really went missing, this movie was the beginning of the found footage genre of horror, its perfect in my opinion.

Dolores Bellini

I recently drove through Burkettsville Maryland, beautiful tiny town. We stopped and had lunch, but I kept looking over my shoulder.

Sahitya

First time seeing it in full, only seen bits and pieces my whole life. But having heard people talk about it saying nothing ever happens kind of took the edge off but still I can say it definitely gets under your skin. brilliant marketing from what I can remember

Chris Thom

Maybe I'll go back and watch it. I did buy the movie because it was on sale for 4.85 on Amazon. Might as well, renting it is $3. Do find it weird that it's not on any of the streamers for free right now. I mean it is October.

Chris Thom

Is that a foreign film?

Walter

"I can hardly tell what I'm seeing" That sums up the movie pretty well.

Johnny Bullis

Now that I watched your reaction I have thoughts... you very much had the same reaction everyone else did when it came out my friend.. the whole point was to let your imagination run away from you.. One thing I remember about the making is that the director basically just told them where they were going that day and the rest was up to them to make up as they went along.. so that they were just as surprised IRL as we were watching it happen. Thats why it felt real.. everything was improv'd. It definitely started a trend of found footage movies.. Oh and I too was hoping when I was watching it that they would be rescued.. NOPE!!

Just Plain Bob

I had a head start in disliking the Weinsteins for that very reason. I used to eat lunch at my desk and surf the horror movie websites. There emerged a predictable pattern: News would get out of an interesting new horror film looking for distribution, after several months of futility they’d sign a deal with the Weinsteins, excitement in the horror community would ensue, the Weinsteins would sit on the movie forever while demanding changes, rinse and repeat. I went from excitement when they agreed to distribute a film to disappointment (as the pattern became obvious). If it weren’t against their own financial self interest, I’d swear they just bought horror movies to prevent their release.

Carol_White

Right, which makes it a very effective horror movie.

Walter

For a lot of people, absolutely. I do think it creates a great creepy mood. It is effective. I just like my movies to be movies and have never enjoyed found footage films (with the possible exception of Chronicle)

Richard Maurer

Bob - Talking about demanding changes, I remember reading a interview with Peter Jackson talking about Harvey Weinstein. PJ said that Weinstein was insisting that one of the hobbits needed to die in one of the movies, which would have been a idiotic thing to do and would been hated by both Tolkien fans and fans of the movies alike. If I remember correctly that was the thing that caused PJ to start looking for other studios, eventually ending up at New Line.

Kyle Reese Popcorn Fan

I try not to be judgemental, but that is such a modern day, over saturated, brain rot take.

Chris Thom

Did you see the famous cemetery?

Tyler Hale

This movie was freaking huge when it came out both in box office and the polarizing response. They had a genius method using the Internet to promote the film and convince people it was real. The best part is the absence of the Witch. It harkens back to Jaws

Chris Thom

Definitely saw lots of twigs. And rocks. And some pissed off hikers.

Tyler Hale

We definitely need more Spike Lee on the channel (I’m talking about his great movies lol)

K, Zachary

So this started out small independent film and blew into something huge that they said was found footage it wasn't. I remember a different ending he was hanging in the corner his feet were not touching the ground. 20 hours of footage grounded down to 82 minutes. This was all fake like a movie. Pancakes Dexter Morgan's favorite meal to make REC was another good found footage. Paranormal Activity 2 which had the biggest jump scare I have ever seen.

Just Plain Bob

Never heard that story. What a moron. Thank god PJ got it made his way.

Clay F

"25th Hour" is consistently ranked among Spike Lee's best movies.

Godzilla Jones

Great flick, great reaction. First The Fly, now this. And Train to Busan is a hell of a ride (puns always intended). You're really graduating up this year.

Clay F

+1 for Dexter

Steve Smith

I forgot just how much I didn't like this movie for one reason: there were too many f-bombs and taking God's name in vain.

Carol_White

This movie is a masterpiece. One of the main reasons why The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (to take two examples) are considered horror classics is the verisimilitude. It feels real so you sympathize with the characters; hence, horror. That's what Blair Witch provides. It's supremely effective even if you strip away the marketing gimmickry. Plus it's got all this metacommentary about the distancing effect of film; it's basically making a statement about its own method. The paradox is that while it's a film-within-a-film, it feels truer than a standard movie that makes an effort not to draw attention to its own production.

Tyler Hale

I think I tried it once but it didn’t click. I’ll probably give it another go knowing it’s written by one of the GOT writers.

Clay F

Good point that it written by one of the GOT writers.

fastecp1

Twenty hours of footage were shot, which was edited down to 82 minutes. Shot on an original budget of $35,000–60,000, the film had a final cost of $200k–750k after post-production edits and grossed $246.8 million. The film is credited with reviving the found-footage technique. The Blair Witch Project was a revolutionary and successful film for several reasons. Its unique marketing campaign, use of found footage, grassroots approach to filmmaking, the power of suggestion, and the timing of its release all contributed to its massive success. The ending of The Blair Witch Project implies that Heather, Mike, and Josh died and the witch was responsible, but the witch is never actually shown on screen. The absolute terror of the Blair Witch Project lies in all of the things that we don't see. This movie is a perfect example of the power of suggestion.

fastecp1

Living in Maryland, I have been there. I live about 3 miles from the Ronald Hunkeler house in Cottage City, Maryland, the real-life inspiration for the movie The Exorcist. I'm just surrounded by evil.

fastecp1

Yeah, this movie didn't scare me at all, but only one film ever did, and that was The Exorcist. But then again, I was only 12 when I saw it in the theater.

Mojo One Thousand

It cracks me up that the biggest jump scares recently haven't really been from the movie, but just things in the room and just the tension the horror movies provide before they even start. First it was the spider in "Scream 2" and now the movement of a drink bottle.

Ian Tonge

I haven't seen this since I saw it at the theatre when it came out. At the time I was thoroughly underwhelmed by it, but I actually quite enjoyed it this time. Maybe it was the weight of expectation with all the buzz flying around at the time, or maybe I'm just a quarter century older and watching it with different eyes. Probably a bit of both. It kind of broke my heart to watch Cassie doing her absolute best to stay positive as the group slowly deteriorates and then ... well then the end happens.

crazyivan

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not being judgmental. You must've been in the kindergarten class that created the 'realistic' witch props. I apologize to you and your classmates who didn't get the credit in the movie for the professional work y'all did. It was a crappy movie - good idea, but crappy execution.

Clarence Newman

Yeah, there was definitely a "Mom" element in there at times. "Guys! Stop shouting at each other! Take a breath!"

Joe J

The movie was such a nothingburger.

Clay F

I had a similar experience. I liked it better this time than I did 25 years ago.

Clay F

I liked it better this time than I did 25 years ago. Granted -- I only watched bits and pieces 25 years ago, whereas this was my first full watch. But seriously I had very little interest in 1999 (the year my son was born, my daughter was 3, I was 36) - just was not into horror movies.

OddThomas

Australian I think

Obie Brown

True Story, I saw this in theaters back when it came out originally, I knew that it was a fauxumentary but I took two friends with me who had no idea. At the end of the film the were as pale as ghosts.

Stephen Dias

Cassie was a great audience for a movie like this, getting wrapped up in the story. I was watching it more from a filmmaking / storytelling perspective: "oh, that's interesting," "I like how they did that."

Larry Darrell

Yes, lots of people, myself included believed for a time that what happened in the film was REAL. Hollywood studios do make and release documentaries.

turnt0ff

My brother and his friends back in ‘99 had no idea about this film, and they were all terrified when it was over, thinking it was real found footage. I’ll never forget the rumors and stories that swirled around this movie back in the day. People were genuinely scared.

Chris Thom

Probably one of the ten movies I'm most ambivalent about. I love it so much and find it very unsatisfying in equal measure.

Grad

I'll never get over the person who has a drop on their nose and does nothing to wipe it off. It has haunted me for 25 years.

Clarence Newman

Agreed. It's like Jeff Bridges' chronic haircut in King Kong '76. It's very distracting.

Mark Vaderr

I'm late with this comment. Cassie, you're reaction is what I had hoped for. As you can see from the comments, this movie is either loved or hated. I remember seeing this in movie theaters back in 1999, and I knew that this was just a movie and not real life footage. One theatre had a great display of what was supposed to be pieces of evidence and actual pictures from the sight. The promotion for this movie was very creative. What I love most about this movie is it's raw footage and how the actors are just going through this as if it were actually happening. It feels real. I find it to be more creepy than scary, although if this were actually happening to me, I know I'd be scared. Hearing the children laughing in the woods would scare the Hell out of me. I also enjoy the interviews with the townsfolk and Mary Brown, which really adds to what is to come. My favorite interview is with the two men that are fishing. One of them the skeptic, the other the believer. Then we get the shot of that eerie looking cabin in black & white before the crew heads into the woods. I really enjoyed the way you followed this movie, Cassie. From trying to figure out what was going on to being terrified. Also love that the first and only real jump scare in this reaction didn't even come from the movie. LOL All the best to you, Cassie!

Cereal and Grape Juice

Was going to wait until you were a few more episodes into Game of Thrones to come back but made the exception for this. Before the movie even started, Cassie didn't disappoint!

James M

This was pretty entertaining when I first saw it. But I felt like the amateur footage was so far below what students would shoot that it kind of sabotaged itself. I suppose really bad film students might shoot this? In any case it managed to create a very creepy vibe which was the goal. "For film students, you could be better!" Right? However, when you reflect on this as a film and performances, that awful "I'm sorry" monologue was perfectly performed. No one could have done that any better. Kudos to Rei for that.

Ricky

So, I was 10 when this came out and my step father had us watch this the night before our camping trip.... yeah.... I remember when this came out people thought it was real and being only 10 years old at the time, well it was pretty damn real to me lol

James M

Hmm, have you spent much time with acting students? She actually captured the sort of behaviors I saw in acting students when I was a student myself (not of acting). She seems entirely realistic in her role based on the friends of friends I knew. That tendency to make every social moment into a sort of performance happened every evening when I was around that crowd.

James M

It's such an odd thing to take a story and then invent something never hinted at in the original, something that's entirely your own story, and glue it together. It's like you tacked it on to someone else's work to try to give it a bit of unearned credibility. A bit of a digression but, I refuse to see Wicked because it feels exactly like that was done. My loss I guess :)

Todd

Joined just for this movie. I am so glad you didn't pooh-pooh it like some do. A great reaction.

Tommymctomflynn

I haven’t seen this movie in so long but it really stands up over time. Not everyone would trust to give cameras to actors and let them go. So good.

Clay F

She definitely didn't pooh-pooh did she. She immersed herself.

Clay F

Welcome fellow GoT fan. About 7 days till the drop of the full reaction to first two episodes of S3.

Joe J

Howard the Duck was much better...maybe scary for some folks, lol.

☆C~H~A~N~D~L~E~R☆

Knowing how this movie was made makes it that much crazier and how much more legit it made it feel. I do hope you check out the sequel "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" it's not all on a handheld camera and has an actual cast.

Jay Jay Reyes

FOLLOW THE CREEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan A. Colbert

Last time I saw this was in the theater the week it came out. At the time they released an article in Premiere magazine that made it sound real and I believed it completely. It was such a great scare, you just can't do that now a days, but yeah it's all just a fake movie. What a good halloween jam.

VOCFM

Literal what, i agree with your words after the movie ends. man idk Horror movies rarely scare me and this was no exception, I just have the same surreal experience i have every time i watch a bad horror movie. Paranormal actively is a movie where i just laugh because of how absurd it is

Ryan Towell

This was my wife and I's first date. We saw it opening night and the whole push behind it was that it was "real footage" so everyone went in thinking it was real. Gave it a way more scary and uncomfortable than feel to it at the time, now I just see it as some kids with a camera making a "scary" movie like my friends and I used to do in late 80's/early 90's. It was a clever concept to really push ticket sales.

☆C~H~A~N~D~L~E~R☆

Why were you even here? This meeting didn't include you. Didnt you get the memo?
