Man, I just can't recommend this enough.

TNT RoughCut
The what-you-don't-see element makes this an excellent film for people with overactive imaginations, and if that's you, it will scare the living crap out of you.

The New York Times
A nifty example of how to make something out of nothing. Nothing but imagination, and a game plan so enterprising it should elevate its creators to pinup status at film schools everywhere.

New York Daily News
The inexplicably terrifying ending is good for a month's worth of nightmares -- no small thing for a movie in such a saturated field.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
An ultra-cheap movie, ingeniously promoted through the Internet -- is notable primarily as a model of guerrilla-style niche-marketing.

Entertainment Weekly
As a horror picture, Blair Witch may not be much more than a cheeky game, a novelty with the cool, blurry look of an avant-garde artifact. But as a manifestation of multimedia synergy, it's pretty spooky.

The great power of the film lies in its simplicity, in the slow-building tension and psychological melt-downs that are the result of stark, bare-bones film-making.

Washington Post
Low-tech inventiveness at its best.
