Hansel & Gretel revisited with terrifying realism

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 1999)

The Blair Witch Project was, without a doubt, one of the most intense films produced in a very long time. It's documentary style not only gave it a real feel, but also allowed the audience to experience the entire story first hand. As the characters spiral into terror of unimaginable proportions, you take the journey right along with them.
Story and character development are superb and the acting is surprisingly realistic. You'll actually have to remind yourself that it isn't a true story. But the nicest thing about this creepy little film is how much is left to your own imagination. With the massive budgets of most commercial films, we're so used to "seeing" everything that nothing shocks the average movie goer anymore. In Blair Witch, it's what you DON'T see that really scares you.
