Movie Reviews of The Blair Witch Experience Collection SetMovie Review: Perfect Package of Horror!!! Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best thing to happen to Bliar Witch fans sence the Bair Witch Project first bacame available to own. This has it all! It even comes with the soundtrack (insturmental of course) to the second film, Book of Shadows. The three Blair Witch Project CD-ROM video games that come with the set are not the best survival horror games in the world (like the Resident Evil games or Silent Hill for Playstation One) but should be enjoyable by people who are interested in learning a lot more about the structured reality of the Blair Witch legend. I really don't know who would be seen with the "Stick Man" necklace on after the sad box office sales of Blair Witch 2, but it should still be cool to have. The pack includes both The "Blair Witch Project" and "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" plus the 44 minute "Curse of the Blair Witch" which is a documentary look at the events of the first film and the events that went on before the events in the first film (it even serves as somewhat of a prequel). I have read and also have been told that the director's commentary on the first film is above avarage and very insightful. The second film is presented in widscreen format to preserve the theatrical look of the film while the first film is full screen due to the fact it was shot with hand held cameras and other equipment not able to produce the widescreen picture. And speaking of the second movie, the only reason it failed to please such a large audiance of movie goers was because it was no where as great as the first film. While the first film will always be remembered as one of the greatest horror films of all time (right up there with "The Exorcist", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "The Shining" staring Jack Nicholson... the second film will only be remembered as falling in with the less than great horror films such as "Urban Legends", "Urban Legends: Final Cut", I Know What You Did Last Summer", "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer", and "Final Destination." Like these films, Blair Witch 2 tried to tackle to many complex issues and failed to present these issues to the viewers. Many movie critics and movie goers agreed that the second film was a lot smarter than the fist film due to the fact that it openly talked about the possibility of life imatating art and the breakdown the human brain can suffer given the appropriate surroundings and stimuli. While "Book of Shadows" confronted these issues by presenting them in conversation between characters, the first film was far more succesful in presenting thses issues by forcing it's characters to actually suffer from them and and lose thier minds under the strain. The first film is, without a question, the most frightening of the two films and that is what made the second film fade in comparison. Make no mistake though, Blair Witch 2 is a great film if the viewer lets it stand by itsefl and leaves The Blair Witch Project on the video shelf at home (Fans of the second film who COMPLETELY understood the film will understand the last sentance and comletely agree).
