  you can man up you didn't see the film and instead are just out to win friends by joining in.
  SPOILER:
  For those that did view the ending, it was a chilling psychological ending with the murder of the last campers. As Hitch said, any teenager can scare you by jumping out from behind a door. It takes skill to terrify someone by making him internalize it.

  That was the reaction my wife and I had when we saw it. We were angry that we had been sucked in by the hype and paid to see it. It was a total disappointment.

    the BW website was masterful. I was enthralled when I saw it the first time and there was NO hint it was entirely fictional. BW was probably the most profitable movie (cost ratio) ever made in the U.S.

      but (as has been noted) it sucked as a film.

  It's one of the least engaging films I've ever seen. The hype surrounding BW was scarier than anything on screen. I found the whole enterprise laughable and spent most of the movie counting cliches. It's a grade "Z" turkey in the same league as other classics like ROBOT MONSTER and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE.

  The crazy guy in FARGO was far scarier than anything in The BLAIR WITCH.

    building all the hype. I'm really surprised there weren't riots in theaters.
