Genius!

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2008)

I seem to be in the minority when it comes to my fondness for "The Blair Witch Project". However, it is the pure genius of it that I admire. The film makers, on a beer budget, produced and marketed a gold mine. Very few films prior had utilized the first-person-shooter aspect and I can think of no other film that successfully delivers the scare factor without any gore or ever showing any villains.
I guess what it comes down to is which Horror camp you're in. Blood and gore camp, this is not your film. Scary monsters, nope, skip it. Psychological thrillers, then like me, you might wanna' check this one out.
