Daringly Original....Extremely Terrifying

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 1999)

The Blair Witch Project, set an example for many movies to come. With a budget of only 36000, this film was able to create a horrifying film. This proves that money and special effects don't make the movie. The Blair Witch Project is a story of three filmmakers, who are creating a documentary. As their curiosity thickens, however, they find themselves lost in the forest of the Blair Witch. Over the next few days, they realize that they may never find their way back, and gradually their optimism disappears. The amazing part about this movie is how they are able to frighten you without even showing the Blair Witch, or having the villain pop out and scare you. In this film, the terror builds up gradually, instead of very quickly, and allows the fear within you build intensity. The final scene of this film, to me is an interesting outcome, but I will leave you in suspense.
Original, and very scary.........*******(7 stars of 10).
