Pulp Fiction and The Blair Witch Project

SPOLER ALERT
Just a heads up.

So yesterday my roommate and I watched 2 old movies; Pulp Fiction and The Blair Witch Project. It was kind of fun watching older movies and really getting to see where some movies we see today come from, though I have a few things to review about both movies.

We'll start with the first one we watched: The Blair Witch Project.
I'm sorry but I don't get the hype about that movie. I have a lot of friends who still see this movie today and are SO scared by it. I don't get that though. A few creepy things happen of course, like the little twig dolls hanging in the forest, the yells in the woods from the missing Josh, even the tent being rattled and someone walking around in the forest at night. All of those things are creepy, yes, but they literally all lead up to nothing. The movie just ended suddenly. Usually horror movies don't even bother me when they do that (end suddenly), but it was just the fact that nothing really happened. Not to mention they were the most stupid three characters. I almost couldn't get creeped out by the sketchy things happening because they were so insufferable.

Sorry that got a little ranty.... whoops.

Now for Pulp Fiction.
Unlike TBWP, I get why this is an iconic film. It not only had some of the best and most hilarious dialogue EVER, but it was done in the unique style of showing the story one piece at a time (which I LOVE). At the same time though, similar to movies like the Cabin in the Woods, it left me with a feeling of (excuse my language) what the fuck did I just watch. It's just one of those movies that you KNOW is good, but you're just so confused by it! All in all, I don't have much else to say about it, fabulous actors, love Quentin Tarantino movies, loved it. If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to! Though if you don't like his style of movies, you may be left very befuddled about what to think!

Stay classy internet.
