Review of The Blair Witch Project

There are occasionally films which do not only make one revaluate a genre, but indeed society and culture in toto. This is one of those films. Were it to have achieved such a feat intentionally or even directly, sincere praise might be appropriate. In fact it does not. Rather, this film demonstrates clearly the extraordinary stupidity and the implausibly high tolerance for mass market publicity that we have come to accept as normal.

I will concede that qua conceptual art, there may be admitted some defence of originality in this work. In all other respects, it is entirely without redeeming feature.
