fake fake fake

They fabricated the whole thing. They were actors, it was directed. nothing for real about it. i think the blair witch legend was fabricated also.

It was clever, and I know quite a few people who hate it because they were duped by it.

Easily one of the greatest horror films of all time IMO, but sadly it's 100% fabricated.

Some of the actors have gone on to make other things...Madhouse (2004) is a good one, starring Josh Leonard.

The campaign for this film was brilliant in all senses of the word. I agree, definately one of the best horror films, and if not, easily the most creative. There was so much work involved in making this film seem real; look it up. Too much to spit out in this post.

I loved this film too. Saw it many times in the theatre also. They did a great job with making everyone think it was real. I don't think the legend of the Blair Witch is real though. That movie just creeped me out cause I love to go camping often and it would be freakn wierd if you kept going in circles and being stuck in the woods, then your friend disappears and then you find some wierd broken down house.... I would not go in there. :rolleyes:

it also holds the distinction of the most profitable film in history.

My thoughts exactly. Brilliant filmmaking. I look up to the movie as inspiration. Genious campaigning.

Wholy shit. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. It's stupid how a lot of people hate it simply because it wasn't "real". I mean, honestly, how fucking dumb can you be?

I don't hate it for the fact that it wasn't real, I just thought it really sucked, and was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen IMHO...That being said, I thought the marketing behind the film was brilliant...
