Movie Review - Hunting Matthew Nichols
Hunting Matthew Nichols follows a documentary crew who teams up with Matthew’s sister to find out what happened when Matthew and his friend went into the woods...and disappeared.
Sound a little familiar? If Blair Witch Project comes to mind, you win a prize.
Now, this is a “documentary,” and not “found footage” like Blair was, but yeah, it’s very similar.
I absolutely adore the Project, so I was excited to see what they would do. The first two-thirds of the movie are whatever. It’s all set up. It tries to get us to care about his sister and the director of the film as they go through what they go through. But I really couldn’t care less.
But when you get to that final third... I don’t care if it’s ripping off Blair Witch or not. I caught myself a couple of times literally sitting there with my eyes open wide and my mouth hanging open.
Is this a great movie? Not at all. Did I really enjoy the last 15 minutes? I did indeed! So make of that what you will...
