Vulgar, scary, and mostly dull
Despite the creepy, intense ending, this was a pretty unimpressive horror movie. If you want a good scare on hand-held camera, go with Quarantine. Parents: If you have a sensitive teen, they may be scared by this creepy but (in my ponion) dull horror movie. There's also nonstop strong, vulgar language. Bottom Line: No need to rush out and see this horror film. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

The Blair Witch Project
I can never really explain why the low-budget horror films always deliver the most scares. But hey, whatever works, works.

The Most Overhyped Movie of All Time
The only way ANYONE - and I mean ANYONE - would ever consider this movie scary is if they have spent their entire life in a concrete jungle and simply do not understand that in the woods, things go bump in the night. If you have ever been in the woods at night (I grew up there), and have heard a twig break, or an animal make some indecipherable noise (and if you have ever BEEN in the woods at night you WILL have heard these things), then you have already experienced first hand everything this film as to offer. That's all it is. A bunch of city kids who get scared in the woods at night by twigs breaking and owls hooting. I've seen episodes of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom that were scarier than this. That said, if your kid just HAS to see it, bear in mind there is a lot of cursing, which is why I listed it as only for kids 12 and under. If they're in public school, there's nothing here they haven't heard before.

Really Good Movie!
I really liked this film! It was scary and thrilling without being over-the-top bloody and gory. Yeah, the language is bad, but who cares? Newsflash: TEENAGERS CURSE. The actors did a fantastic job; they were really convincing. I highly recommend this movie!

The blair witch
This was a pretty good movie. But there is a ton of language and some drinking scenes. It will scare you. Which isn't a bad thing.

NO KIDS WHATSOEVER!
The truth is, that no matter how old you are, most people will be scared stiff by this movie. It pumps up your adrenaline and makes you scared for days. They language isn't a problem because most tweens and teens are exposed to it at school and older siblings.

Perfect Horror Movie for Mature Teens and Adults
Very Suspenseful horror movie that shows almost no violence at all. I love it so much I bought it on my iPod. Only thing parents should really watch out for is its language. Over 150 F words. 5/5 :)

CLASSIC!!
This has got be the most original, creative masterpiece in horror film history. There is no explanation of what is killing them or making noises at night and you never get even a shot or look at the killer. That is what makes the movie so suspenseful. The ending will leave you guessing, and wandering. This is truly a milestone in horror movie making.

How to get lost in the woods 101
If they had half a brain there would be no problems. They even crossed a fire road. A LOT of bad language

Great
This is a great scary movie. It scares you from what you don't see not what you do see. It does have a ton of language though.

A great horror movie for anyone 14 and up!
Okay. To start, I do NOT think that this movie should have been rated R. A definate PG-13 movie. I know that there is 152 F-Words, 52 S-Words, and about 300 other profanity words, but think about it. You get lost in the woods and crazy things happen to you, I dont think that you would be saying apporopriate words. Sure, they could have toned it down a few notches, but hey! Anyone ages 10 and up would use that language in that kind of situation. The violence is nothing and the drugs issue is quite heavy. Everyone is going crazy because they don't have cigarettes, one person is pressured into taking shots of Scotch, and someone asks for some marijuana. This movie will frighten people 13 and under so no need to worry, and the rest of the movie is PG material!

confusing...
I think the reason a lot of people went to see this movie is because they thought it was based on a real story; I thought it was. When it was being advertised, it was never really made clear (I think a tape and book was even put out later that told more about the 'true story'.) Since it is made up, it's not that wow of a movie; there's a lot of jumpy camera movement, which some people may find annoying. The ending is confusing; you are sitting there saying (maybe shouting) "What's going on?" and then it's just over. That said, there are some scary parts if you use your imagination, such as when they are in the tent and *something* is outside, crawling around. I put age 13-16 but I would say 15 years and older for this movie.

Is this supposed to be scary??
I get scared at horror movies. The Ring scared me. Halloween scared me. This movie did NOT scare me. It was hard to even see what was going on. It was like a bad home movie without even a plot. The camera jerked so much I almost got motion sickness. I yawned most of my way through it. Blah!

Waist of time
The Blair Witch film leaves you with fear. Last time I checked, fear is not something we should be feeding. This movie may help the imagination but in a very unhealthy way.
