Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
arminio If I didn't know that this is mockumentary, I would definitely believe in every word they said there!Movie is shoot so clever and good (which is reasonable because authors were fine documentary moviemakers before they did this and BWP) that is totally believable and real unless you read end credits where you can see that entire thing is fake :)It is my favourite mockumentary, next to Jackson's "Forgotten Silver" which is funny and, in most scenes pretty obviously fake while this one is totally realistic.10/10
Glen-38 I was forced to tape this mock-documentary on Sky 1 and watch it later as it aired before the movie was released! I think that this is really best watched after "The Blair Witch Project", you need to see that film fresh. The music is great, just the kind of thing we are given only at the very beginning and end of the film itself. (WARNING SPOILER)The "interviewees", who are actually actors, do well, not to mention the fact that they are so much more believable by the fact that the they, along with the three missing film students, are credited as real people.(END SPOILER)We are given an interesting insight into the story of the Blair Witch, complete with relating clips to the movie itself. While some might argue that this will destroy the power of your imagination making up the films background, I disagree. The directors write nothing in stone, and leave the door very much open for your own interpretation.This program really is a testament to the hype machine of the blair witch project, and in the hands of the same directors, it manages to be almost as scary. Almost.
Blim I thought the documentary was okay except for the fact that the interviews with the murderer were totally unconvincing. They just taped some guy then made it black and white and tried to add scratches, it's too bad aside from the fake scratches that the picture was totally crisp. Other then that it was ok.
mermatt This TV "documentary" is better than the movie -- and made by the same people. These are very talented people -- they have the folklore of witches down cold and they also have the patter and pattern of documentaries down equally cold. The use of interviews and the extended story of the witch and her curse all add up to the sense of a realistic story.I haven't seen this kind of verisimilitude since Orson Welles' made people believe that Martians were landing in NJ. As a teacher and writer, I plan to use this show and the film in my drama classes to illustrate verisimilitude, atmosphere, and style. The fact that all of this is done so realistically has started a national debate as to whether this myth and the movie are real. What fun!
