The Blair Witch Project was a film that divided audiences like no other. One half were on the edge of their seats the whole time, the other half wondered why everyone was getting worked up over the shake-o-vision camera work and the fact that you never actually saw anything.

If the film confused you, then you don't stand a chance with the game. How? Bobby Ludbrook called it "One of the worst spoofs i have ever seen", and Clint Morris of Moviehole suggested to "take this out to the woods, bury it and be done with it".You'd think the intro would tell you what's going on: Who you are and what you're doing.
