Not a lot happens, true. However the point i made about standing in the woods listening is moot. Nothing happens in that situation either, except how your own mind perceives what you hear or see and creates a possible situation.
TBWP to me plays on this perception to the max. Other films have attempted it but none have been as successful or even come close.
I honestly think it's a film where you get out of it what you put in yourself. So however much you wish to invest will decide your enjoyment factor.
According to Mark Kermode last Friday,
The Witch is a similar sort of film in this respect.
For the record i also like
Book of Shadows, Blair Witch 2.
