I know exactly what you mean... I didn't say on my post that I thought it was a great movie. I've seen way better movies done with half that budget, 'The Return' comes to mind, it's Russian. What I tried to say was that that movie was done by a 'weekend warrior' regular Joe, he didn't even left his day job while filming. Given those circumstances the movie was pretty darn good.
BTW: Blair Witch Project is one of the very few movies I had walk-out from the theather and I have a lot of patience for movies; I didn’t even make it half way - hate it
... see, now I'm dizzy
