"The Blair Witch Project" is a movie I feel isn't made to scare you, but is done in a way to give you goosebumps, make you feel disturbed, and give you the idea that this whole thing could've been real. This is a great movie for the "found footage" genre and it still holds up to this very day.
Three film students travel to Maryland to make a student film about a local urban legend. The Blair Witch. The three went into the woods on a two day hike to find the Blair Witch, and never came back. One year later, the students film and video were found in the woods. The Blair Witch Project is nowhere near as scary or cool as everyone wanted you to believe it was it's actually boring, the acting was garbage and even worse? The film's ending served no purpose into giving you some actual answers so it was truly a waste of time and probably money. (0/10)
After Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom, this is the scariest movie I have seen, and I have seen this 5 times! At the beginning of Roger Ebert's 4/4 star review, he writes: "We're instinctively afraid of natural things (snakes, barking dogs, the dark) but have to be taught to fear walking into traffic or touching an electrical wire. Horror films that tap into our hard-wired instinctive fears probe a deeper place than movies with more sophisticated threats. A villain is only an actor, but a shark is more than a shark."And that is what make The Blair Witch Project so effective. It depends on the sounds of nature that would scare you at night. It is what should really scare you in life. It does not use scary Psycho music(I mean, that's a good movie, but you know when she will die in the shower!), or other warnings. it just let's it happen.And the the most scariest thing is how many times they say the F word!If you want a truly scary movie, look no further than this!
I don't really like this movie, but I gotta hand it to the creators for the unique style and idea. At a point where horror movies and thirllers were just cliche after cliche, this just came outta nowhere. if you're looking for the movie that pretty well started the found footage genre, this is it.
