First let me say that Thriller is one of my all-time favorite anthology series on TV. Many of the stories give me goosebumps and chills some almost 50 years later. The Blair Witch Project was just the opposite. I saw it once in the theater with a lot of folks like me drawn in by comments like "Scary as hell" Peter Travers Rolling Stone. When the end came as it built like something would happen, nothing did. It was a shame because everyone took a breath and some might have been scared, but I wasn't. It never scared me and rarely creeped me out. I heard some say they had trouble sleeping, but I slept like a baby after seeing it. Just for fun, I made a list of shows and films that scared me more than it did and after a while I had to stop for it was going on and on with no end in sight. I had silents from the 20's,talkies from 30's and 40's, not to mention the 50's,60's,70's and 80's. Many episodes of thriller were scarier to me than BWP, so there.
However, I am here to comment on the Prediction. Honestly to me it was certainly not an average episode. I thought it was very enjoyable yet very sad. I was very involved emotionally and that was one of the reasons it was given a nine. One reviewer mentioned the relationship between Mace and his assistant being like father daughter and it was this relationship that scored so heavily with me. This relationship was at the "heart" of the story and gave it it's "heart"! IMO both Audrey Dalton(who I thought was lovely)and Boris nailed their performances and made me believe in the story. No, not a lot was explained about the supernatural aspects, and that could be a slight flaw, but since when is it necessary to explain everything? I also thought all the players did well with their parts. Maybe I am stupid, but to me it wasn't too predictable, and the ending ripped at my heart. For me it was sad and tear filled at the end. Anyway, my two cents.
