Stunning.

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 1999)

My intrest in film began in horror movies. More than any other genre, horror movies made me really feel something...real fear. I hadn't seen a really scary movie that stuck with me for a long time, then I heard about this film. No monsters or slashers seen on screen, no moody music, no over abundant amount of gore. I thought to myself this must be some kind of experiment. Being a huge movie buff, I had heard everyone on the net and in magazines talk about how scary this film was for them. So I went to see The Blair Witch Project last night and I was right about the experiment part, this film is an experiment in total fear. The film is shot on what looks like mostly video and is very low budget. I believe however that you will be scared. The film is basically a premise played to the highest degree, a premise that never once let up, not even at the end. I've never really seen a film like this and I advise everyone out there who loves to be scared to go see The Blair Witch Project. The last shot of this film will be stuck in my head for years to come and for the first time in many years I slept with the light on. Can you face your fears?
