The Blair Rabbit Project Review

Synopsis

A team of amateur filmmakers embark into the forest to film a documentary about the legend surrounding a potential mutant rabbit creature.

The Blair Rabbit Project Good Points

Ambitious Concept

The Blair (Blare) Rabbit Project tries to parody both the Blair Witch Project and the found footage genre, and shows a little creativity I suppose with regards to some of the visual setups and some props.

Occasional Humor

A few gags are OK.

Recognizable Tropes

Fans of Blair Witch and classic found footage will recognize some of the nods to the original, which can be fun in small doses.

Short Bursts of Creativity

Despite its flaws, the movie occasionally surprises with weird visual setups or props that break from the expected found footage tropes.

The Blair Rabbit Project Bad Points

Uneven Humor

Many jokes just fall flat, and the film never actually fully commits to being a parody.

Pacing Issues

The movie is longer than necessary, with too many slow, meandering scenes that drag it all out.

Lack of Any Suspense

Despite mimicking a horror film, the film doesn’t provide any real meaningful tension,leaving it bland for both horror and parody fans.

Minimal Payoff

Absurd setups like forest sculptures or fake scares rarely lead to anything satisfying.

Limited Appeal

Those unfamiliar with found footage or the Blair Witch films may find it even less entertaining, as the jokes rely heavily on prior knowledge.

Which is saying something.

Final Thoughts on The Blair Rabbit Project

You can safely give The Blair (Blare) Rabbit Project a miss, as while it has a few mildly funny moments, pretty much none of it really fully lands and is best skipped.
