The deleted scene where the brothers received a phone call from their mom in Ireland on St. Patty's Day alone is worth the rental. I wish they'd left it in; I can think of a few scenes they should have cut instead (including almost anything with Willem Dafoe that doesn't directly relate to his job. Sorry, but he just seems like a nasty, dirty stereotype of a gay man most of the time.)

Somewhere between "very bad" and "wretched."
30 October 2000
This movie wasn't as awful as I had been led to believe, but it really wasn't very good, either.
I think that if they had called it something else, and made it about some other evil entity, it would have made a fine teenage slasher/mindf&*k kind of movie. This movie had a little suspense to it, and a few scares. It was not altogether without merit. Its real problem comes when you compare it mentally to the original movie, which was quite sophisticated and terrifying.
In addition, in Book of Shadows, you really don't care about the characters, and you sort of figure from the beginning that bad stuff will happen to them since they are so whiney and stupid.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that I wish I hadn't seen it, but I do wish it had been a much better movie, befitting the title Blair Witch.

This is the most frightening movie I have ever seen!

I've never seen a movie that kept me so tense the whole time. I'm guessing that everyone in the theater felt the same way, because when the credits started rolling, some people actually RAN out of the room!
I have seen a lot of horror films in my day, but this movie was hands-down the most emotionally involving.

Wretched waste of time!
19 July 1999
This movie was senselessly stupid, not a bit believable. I found myself wondering where all the grownups were and how they could possibly have their heads so far up their butts as to not see that these children were truly twisted. The only truthful aspect of this film was how completely pathetic all the boys were, and I found myself wondering if the kids who were of the right age to enjoy this even got that point?

Bring a whole box of Kleenex!
8 March 1999
I am not a big movie crybaby kind of person, but this movie really had me going! Not that it was sad, but poignant. I was fully captivated by the complex characters. No one was "good" or "bad," they were all just trying to find their ways through their lives the best they could. It was hard to know how they would react in each situation because they were more true-to-life than we are used to. I haven't been this emotionally involved in a movie for a long time.
Suicide Kings
(1997)
Really suspenseful and surprising
25 January 1999
I really hate it when you are watching a movie and you can see the ending coming from a mile away. This movie, with the exception of a few wobbles, was extremely suspenseful and well put together. A few sick laughs help, too!
