People really say that? Her performance is incredible.

I really think BWP is as superb a drama as it is a fun horror, about Heather realizing she's gotten herself and her friends killed by something they can't possibly understand, and her performance is such a huge part of that.
The method camping-in-a-forest stuff can only get so much credit, the whole movie lives or dies on her central performance.

Yes, thank you. It is specifically her performance that still gives me shivers with every rewatch. The banging on the tent, the children's laughter, the pouch of teeth, etc. are all creepy moments for sure, but it is Heather's reactions, her descent into a breakdown, that makes it all truly scary.

Not just that. The Razzies even nominated her for it. Absolute lunacy. She nailed that despair so well.

The more I hear about the Razzies the less I like it.

An award based on all but literally shitting on artists is fucking stupid.
It also diverts potential blame from executives and production companies who are more at fault for releasing “bad” products. The fact that children can be nominated is disgusting.

Wow really? I always think she does an amazing job of acting genuinely terrified every time I watch Blair Witch.

Yeah, I mean when the poster for your movie literally the terrified face of your star it's pretty hard to argue that her prefromance is not central its success...

The marketing for that movie was so famous, and spoofed a lot. I remember a scene where she’s snotty crying in the film was popular to mock. I agree that she was great. I think the Razzies must have nominated her to grab attention because of just how widespread the attention to that scene was.
