Movie Ticket Monday: The Blair Witch Project

July 30, 1999.  Modesto 18.  The movie that started a campaign a year before on the internet as a marketing ploy.  Brilliant.  The movie, well not so much.

I went and saw it with my neighbor Leah.  I thought it was pretty good for an independent film on a budget of 600,000.  The film grossed something like 8 Million.  Pretty good numbers.  After reflecting on the Blair Witch now doesn't hold up, but sweet Jesus, every Argento, Fulci, and Bava out there since this film came out grabbed a GL-1 and shoot a fucking scream fright fest every 3 seconds.  Statistics taken from my ass.  Like every other percentile report out there.  Take that!  Be back in a bit with some more blogging goodness.
