Blair Witch is an incredibly challenging movie to rate, because watching it back in the 90s was a completely different experience than sitting down with it today. I vividly remember trying to reason why this movie couldn't be real as I tried to fall asleep, but it's not just that the movie's long been debunked. It's been aped so much since that it feels cliche where it once felt fresh, dull when it once was fascinating.
It hasn't stood the test of time, but there's a part of me that still likes it a lot. It feels more real than your average found footage film - maybe because it's so amateurish, but I like that authenticity. The camera work gives me a headache, but nostalgia or not, the movie still has its charms.
