Reviews for The Blair Witch Project
Gorehounds and smirking fans of the nudge-nudge, wink-wink school of self-referential horror may be disappointed, but that's their loss.
07/30/03
The most frightening film to come along since The Exorcist.

What can anyone say about The Blair Witch Project that hasn't been trumpeted from a thousand Web sites already?

Top CriticThe kind of movie that works on your psyche and has you laying awake at 3 a.m. two nights later thinking about it and getting creeped out in your dark bedroom.

So masterly is its structure and so rich its details.
01/10/03
The Blair Witch Project has earned its pop-icon status.
11/07/02
The movie blows the doors off typical Hollywood fare because it is powered by genuine imagination.
10/15/02
The Blair Witch Project remains a welcome change from studio blockbusters, as it's more preoccupied with human behavior than with special effects.
09/10/02
The Blair Witch Project taps into primitive beliefs about the supenatural in a way not tried before by traditional filmmakers.
08/02/02
The movie's unfinished, catch-as-catch-can look, complete with jiggly camerawork and sometimes blurred imagery, is one of the primary reasons it's so disturbing and creepy.
06/21/02
The combination of the distant noises and the raw fear in the voices will throw a chill into anyone's blood.
06/18/02
There's no denying the terror in The Blair Witch Project. It's fierce, it's palpable and it gets deep under the skin.

Top CriticEm vez de buscar o susto fácil, 'A Bruxa de Blair' investe na criação e manutenção de um constante clima de tensão.
05/31/02
It's an old and simple idea, but in this era of effects-overkill and total visual saturation, it seems original, even brilliant.

Adds a few fresh twists to a genre that has too long relied only on special effects gimmickry.
