If you hated The Blair Witch Project, it type of production (photography, direction, script, postproduction, etc…), simply skip American Vandal all together… it’s not worth suffering, don’t even bother looking at the ratings, as someone must have already said “people like flies eat all kinds of shit which doesn’t mean you should eat it too”.
I hate anything whose production style smells anything like “The Blair Witch Project”, the only movie that has made me get up and walk out of the movie theater, if a movie bores me I just sleep thru most it. But that one was a different beast, they were, and I couldn’t bear it, laughing at the audience (me) so I got up, walked out just before the ten minute mark and got my refund.
American Vandal didn’t make the cut after barely playing the first five minutes, it stinks to The Witch Proyect. The look of an amateur documentary, it doesn’t mean that the production has to suck (you can go and see by yourself the quality of most documentary scripted, directed and postproduced by teenagers on Vimeo.com). But I guess, we’ll continue to see this shit surfacing from time to time.
There’ll always be producers who couldn’t care less about the quality of what they produce and don’t want to spend a cent making a TV Series or Movie and trech behind the old off-beat creativity excuse to sell a subpar production to the audience. If it happens to catch, they’ll make a huge (∞) return on their nil investment worthy of celebrating have a laugh over a few martinis.
But at least they’ll neither be laughing at me nor be paying any of these martinis with a cent gotten from me.
@abetancort wow. I didn't get any feel of The Blair Witch off this. Is it found footage or mockumentary that you dislike most? I felt this hit the look and feel of Making A Murderer and played on it very well.
