This review is from: Massacre of Burkittsville 7: Blair Witch Leg [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is actually two seperate pieces that originally appeared on television: The Massacre of the Burkittsville Seven (Made for Showtime), and The Blair Witch Legacy (Made for The Sci-Fi Channel). Massacre explores the Rustin Parr killings, and is by far the better of the two features. It fits well with the documentary-like feel of the first Blair Witch movie, and provides some really chilling insights into the events of that movie. I think it would even be effective on it's own. The Blair Witch Legacy doesn't stack up as well, playing more like what it really is: A long informercial for Book of Shadows. It, too, adds to the moviegoing experience, but since it originally aired before Book of Shadows was released, it tries too hard not to spoil the movie's surprises. Overall, it's a worthwhile viewing experience, especially Massacre. The conclusions drawn by that segment are truly unforgettable, and will change the way you look at The Blair Witch Project upon further viewing....

This review is from: Massacre of Burkittsville 7: Blair Witch Leg [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Blair Witch Project (Haxan films, 1999), will go down in history as an independant film phenomenon, due to its incredible originality of style, an uncanny conservation of cinematic device and style, and an overwhelming hype that, in '99, was unmatched (for an independant), before or since. You'd have to be a true fan of Horror, and one of the quickly-growing coven of Blair Witch cultists, however, to have enjoyed the admittedly inferior sequel. Perhaps you're one of them; here are the present (most obvious) criteria: We begin at the same point, with Heather, Josh, and our little Mikey, hiking off into the woods; the end of Part I, as it were, should also be the end of our interest in witches from the Black Hills. Enter a now two-year-old "mockumentary," Curse of the Blair Witch. No questions about the missing filmmakers of BWP are really answered, but very factual-looking notes, interviews, historical/mythical snippets, and more, make for a subject matter (albeit purely fictional) that makes this mythos all-too-real...much like the Amityville phenomenom of the 70's and 80's. The much-anticipated sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, pales in comparison to the original...unless the first TWO films (it would be a blatant misinterpretation for anyone who dismisses the validity of Curse of the Blair Witch) have drawn one this far; let me make it plain: if you even marginally enjoyed or found merit in the second theatrical film, it's undoubtedly because you've been HOOKED SINCE THE FIRST "MOCKUMENTARY". The Massacre of the Burkittsville 7 is not a must, by any means, but if you're a confirmed Blair Witch Hunter, this companion piece to BoS will further deepen and mystify your own Blair Witch experience, with new details concerning Jeff Patterson and the characters introduced in Blair Witch 2; and, just to start new question/debate, the introduction of Kyle Brody, the only child abducted by Rustin Parr in 1940/41 who lived to tell about it. As in Curse of the Blair Witch, this "mockumentary" will serve not to answer questions spurred by the film, but to bring to the table new dilemmas and incongruencies. Massacre of the Burkittsville 7 is just another piece in the growing puzzle that's making the Blair Witch Legacy, in the minds of devoted afficionados, the best premise for modern horror since Hitchcock's day. Pick it up, and continue the search yourself...if you dare.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Blair Witch Hole Filler!, September 25, 2001

This review is from: Massacre of Burkittsville 7: Blair Witch Leg [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Really excellently done. This two volume video contains material that fills in some of the plot holes in the other videos and books. Really a companion movie to go along with the books, this video was very well done in the same docu-drama style as the original movie companions and books.
