A project unlike any other

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2009)

Next to Spinal Tap, The Blair Witch Project is probably the century's most memorable mockumentary. Usually that term is associated with comedy, but this film although starting out kind of amusing turns into everything but. What we see is the footage captured on a handicam from three kids who went out into the woods in search of an urban legend, the Blair witch, but their incompetence got them lost, which led to frustration, which led to anger, which led to fear, and then to... well lets just say careful what you which for, you might find it.
My first bit of advice for approaching The Blair Witch Project is this; take a gravol pill. The camera work which is intentionally shaky and awkward is nauseating, aside from that this is a wicked presentation (sometimes literally so) Cinema cannot get anymore subjective than this. On top of all that the film is actually pretty scary.
If there is a flaw, it would be that the movie is a little too repetitious in its events, but thins is not a story that will leave you flat.
