Yes, I know everybody's sick to death of Blair Witch rip-offs, especially of the snotting, scared girl in the wool hat shining a Maglite up her face and sobbing. But you know, this movie actually transcends that level of mediocre parody...it actually pulls off a genuine satire of a really pretentious and inept original.
The Blair Clown Project has a handful of truly brilliant and inventive moments and they succeed in satirizing what made the original film so irritating - long, pointless scenes of camera-mugging, over-emoting actors and excessive padding.
As parodies of "Blair Witch" go, this is one of the best, perhaps second only to the pornographic version released last year, but certainly better than the hordes of knock-offs done by anyone with an 8mm camcorder and a few acres of woods nearby. I strongly urge you to see this movie, preferably with a large group of people and a case of malt liquor.
