I found "Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch" a lot better than "Curse of the Blair Witch" which was also a documentary made to advertise the movie, and both of them are extremely well done. One of the main reasons I bought it (which was originally only available at blockbuster) was because I really wanted to see one of the deleted scenes of the movie which was going to be passed off as newly discovered footage, and as a huge fan of the movie, I think they should've left this scene in, in which Mike and Heather have broken down and a re desperately trying to keep it together (Josh is already gone). It also brings together separate beliefs which is very interesting. And because of those two crying, who you feel for the most in the movie, is really disorienting. I myself almost started crying because it was a really emotional scene. I would recommend this to anyone who had a good time watching Curse of the Blair Witch and The Blair Witch Project.

This one was so exciting that I fell asleep about half way through, and it only runs for 30 minutes. Viewed the remainder later. What a crock of s.... The film danced around so much as to be unable to see anything. Like its trying to say, I want to show you this but you can't look at it. The melodrama of the talking heads is pathetic at best. I rated it awful just because there was nothing lower. Be glad you missed it. Its not a documentary, but a contrived piece to make you believe it is. A movie you definitely will want to miss.

This short film was originally offered by Blockbuster Video to promote the rental and sales of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT video when it was first released. There is an amusing comment at the beginning of STICKS & STONES indicating that Blockbuster didn't go looking for the added footage because "You'd have to be crazy to go into those woods."Much of the film is scenes from THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH. But two new pieces of film are tacked on at the end, one of which provides a provocative added clue or misclue to the mystery. This clue adds support to one of the many theories of what happened in THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, namely that there was some sort of time warp involved which prevented the search party from seeing the three missing college students even though the searchers covered the same territory where the students disappeared.STICKS & STONES isn't particularly important except for the two new pieces of film. If the viewer has no interest in the Blair Witch myth, then this film will be of no interest either. But for fans, it's another piece in the puzzle.

This is the concluding trilogy of the original "The Blair Witch Project". Quite frankly, both "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Curse of the Blair Witch Project" are better."Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch" seems/seemed to just be another way to cash in on the The Blair Witch Phenomenon, a phenomenon that is being totally milked dry.I guess the film is ok, if you absolutely loved the first one, but this continuing trend of finding lost footage and of more interviews is/was getting annoying. There essentially is nothing new here and the performances and writing are nothing special. It is a short film that will be easily forgotten and I doubt it will be redistributed when the next line of Blair Witch 2 products come out.As a side story, and possibly showing how doomed "Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch" was, Blockbuster originally gave this as a free rental to "The Blair With Project". Then it was a PVT and there were so many of them that eventually the local store was selling them for 1cent with any purchase. I thought 1cent, what the heck? My recommendation to you though is to save your penny.VOTES: The Blair Witch Project-->3: Curse of the Blair Witch Project-->6: Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch-->2Viewed: The Blair Witch Project--> Theatre: Curse of the Blair Witch Project--> VHS: Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch--> VHS
