They should be made to pay therapy costs for every film fan whose faith in film was near destroyed by the hype surrounding their sub-home movie ex-crap-aganza.
If I ever make a film that is 1% as popular as the Blair Witch Project and am never heard of again I'll be happy.

It was something different. It's not someting to feel threatened by. Did I think it was a great film - no. But interesting and innovative.
I would charge Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola, and Scorsese with "cinema crimes" before these guys.
Was the PR hype due to them or their distributor?
Therapy for faith in film?
Well, I can't speak for others, but my faith in film relies on me, not other people.
I thought Blair Whitch was great... I wish I thought of the idea.. I really liked its form (yes I know someone has done it before, but this film really opned my eyes for it)
Its well acted, creepy and atmospheric...
