This movie is SO bad in EVERY way that I won't acknowledge that I've seen it, even if I worked on it myself.

Risible plot, poor acting, terrible direction. The lead actress deserves better.

Stop having friends review your films it makes you look bad. Within the 1st 30 minutes of the film you can tell that this is more of a 1 or 2 rating. The acting is OK the only scary thing about the film are the loud sudden noises or loud music that Blair's out at you. Graphics, special effects are horrible.

A challenging watch. Seemed very much like a student's submission to a 2nd year film studies assessment. Special effects are something I can do using video editing software and a green screen. The lead actress is good but let down by poor direction. I hope to see her in some other films.

We really enjoyed this film, the acting was good and the narrative moved along at a good pace. It is an independently produced film without all of the bangs and whistles of a big production company but it worked for us. There are some very sniffy comments on here about production values and the rating that some people have given this film but there are some people who have given "The Blair Witch Project", a film with no narrative and no production values, 10 out of 10.

If you want a film with a great storyline, that keeps you guessing and have you on the edge of your seat then sit back and enjoy. Considering that the story was filmed on a small budget Michael has managed to create a fabulous film that will allow you time to switch off from the real world and thoroughly enjoy a fantastic storyline. The cast have done a great job portraying the characters Michael has created. Well done all.

This film has a plotline to keep you guessing and a cast packed with local talent. There's an overall ominous supernatural atmosphere, dealing with some very real themes. A mystery/horror storyline combined with relatable characters gel the film together well, mixed in with quite a few jump scares! Some sex scenes (no discernible nudity), some violence and some language. Make sure you take time out to watch this thoroughly enjoyable movie from Michael Munn and his team.

Thoroughly enjoyed this latest film by Michael Munn. Considering the limitations of independent film making and the challenges of limited budget an excellent piece of work. Well done to all involved.
