Review: 'The Blair Witch Project' had great found footage hype but fails to make any sense


The Blair Witch Project   R
            A bag of hot air and a load of hype turned this amateur looking movie fright piece into a sensation, without even delivering the goods in the end. Somehow, everyone seemed duped by the documentary style ad campaign claiming it was real. Strange gaffs: How did that camera battery last for over 14 hours? How did they get spares? How could they really film and be freaked out at the same time? And when the woods don't really scare some audience goers, how can it really be scary? Made for fun parodies though, until a slew of dumb parodies came out.
