It's still a good movie. I watched it with a 21 year old who never seen it before. He enjoyed it. He was able to explain the ending to me and he pointed out details leading up to the end that i never noticed back when the movie was brand new.

Gimmicky garbage. Boring a/f.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

I totally get why it doesn't work for some people, but I had a blast watching it with packed audiences when it first came out. Even got the Mike actor's autograph.

Would you like me to go digging up old threads? Cuz I will do it, don’t push me, Juan.
Dig up some old threads from Lilith especially her threads during last presidential election.

Yes, it effectively annoyed me. I don’t get the hype. Wasn’t scary at all.

Yeah, Woodyanders. I just watched
Blair Witch
, on-line, no less,–and, first time, and it got me, grabbed me where I needed that kind of grab . It kicked butt major league, and I like it a whole lot. Great Art? I can't say. They did a first rate job with a second (at best) rate budget. It drew me in, held my attention. Thanks for posting.

I love how this film suggests a lot of creepy stuff without explicitly showing too much. It's the sly and subtle way this movie leaves stuff to the viewer's imagination that makes it so goddamn creepy and unsettling.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

This film posessed little more then a stolen style and technique from movies like Cannibal Holcaust and UFO Abduction who actually did it better. As someone old enough to have seen this in the movie theatre it did little more then give me motion sickness from them moving the camera when trying to scare the audience by pretending they saw something and remind me of just how much better those other films were then this. There generation would probably say the same thing about us that we don't know what true horror is because if we are honest they ACTUALLY did everything before us.

No, that's not necessarily true. I'm no expert, but I've read somewhere that the cutoff for the so called Gen X is somewhere around '83-'84. But even if that doesn't qualify for Gen X, it certainly doesn't mean they're Millennials. Being born in '83, I was almost a legal adult in 2000, having turned 17 in March of that year.
Edit:
This website is very informative in determining the different generational timelines:
https://www.google.com/amp/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/359589/
"Generation X. George Masnick, of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies puts this generation in the timeframe of 1965 to 1984, in part because it's a neat 20-year period. He also calls it the "baby bust," mocking "[p]undits on Madison Avenue and in the media" that call it Generation X."

Aw, come on - not every Millennial lives up to the stereotype. Give everyone a fair shake.
If the OP is in his early 30's then he's still a Millennial. I don't think the cut-off is at 25. that's way too early. anyone in their 20's to early 30's(say born from '82 onwards) is a late bloomer Millennial.
Fair enough. My overall point though was he shouldn't assume a specific age group wouldn't be interested in the film.

Let me start by saying if you're under 25 I don't give a rat's ass about your opinion.

At a time when the public believed this little film just might be real. Were we collectively paying money to sit in a dark movie theater and watch the final moments of 3 young film students? Maybe. We didn't know for sure. And that was part of the magic. This film was an event. A phenomenon. Something that just doesn't happen very often.
I never believed it to be true but appreciated the genius of the marketing anyway. I also loved the
film
, which became an immediate obsession for me. I remember buying it on VHS and thinking I'd probably enjoy it on an artistic level but not a visceral level. I'd already
seen
it, after all, and on the
big screen
, no less. Much to my delight, I was proven wrong. I re-watched it on cable last week - it'd been my first viewing in years - and found it as potent as ever. It remains an unnervingly unique oeuvre, one which I knew, even in 1999, could never be repeated.

I'm old enough to have seen in the theatre when it first came out. Same thing, the audience sat in shocked silence at the end. I do suspect though, based on my own taste, that if I were to see it for the first time recently I'd still rate it as the second best horror film of all time (the first being The Exorcist)
