First class scares without Hollywood clichés.

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2016)

Though Heather Donahue's performance was at some points frustrating and seemed forced, there's no denying that "The Blair Witch Project" delivers first class scares without the need of blood, gore or a physical monster. This is the reason why the movie stands out because it leaves aside all kind of Hollywood cheese. Also, it helps to make all scares psychological, leaving everything to the imagination of the viewer.
The movie helped popularize the "found footage" style, which is its core; making you feel as lost, desperate, and frustrated as the characters. This style helps to make the scares more effective, creating an environment that will at least trouble your sleep for one night, or more... For real I don't get why this movie was nominated for "Worst Movie" on the Razzie Awards of 2000.
FINAL CONSENSUS: One of the first of its kind, The Blair Witch Project proves how haunting the mind can be, showing us a compelling kind of horror.
