Spoofs They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969)

First it was the Blair Witch Project Now This

A friend of mine recently dismissed They Shoot Movies, Don't They? as a waste of time but I did not get into much of a discussion with him about the film. I did catch it today and the ending disturbed me to the point that I had to do a little research. If it is not real and I suppose it is not, The producers have gone to great lengths to have you believe it is real.

I suppose it is not real but it sure seems believable. I was reminded of the Blair Witch Project when a neighbor of mine mentioned that the family's of the dead were suing the producers. I replied Hello! it isn't real! A lot of people believed and a lot of people got real scared. After viewing the B.W.P. even I was a little scared fake or not. So anyway some guys made a film disturbing yes provoking absolutely. If it were not so you and I would be doing something else.
