Hands down the scariest film ever made

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 1999)

Many may find the shower scene in Psycho, the shark attacks in Jaws, the breakdown of Jack Nicholson in The Shining, or Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs more creepy than this indie film, but I disagree. Never before have I felt so uncomfortable, so shocked, so disturbed, and so intense after seeing this film. And for some reason, after feeling all that even now (4 days later), I'm dying to see it again.
The Blair Witch Project is best left unknown for those who haven't seen it. The less you know about the film the better, because some of the best parts would feel rather lame if you knew it was coming. The last 45 minutes of the film I sat there with my hand over my mouth wandering what would happen next and truly caring for the students. There wasn't a script written for this film nor was there a storyboard to decide the events, it is all incredibly realistic with no hocus pocus or special effects. It costs the price of a car to make this film and it shows how brilliant the directors are when someone like Wes Craven or John Carpenter can't come close to frieghtening us as much as this film does, despite the millions they can put into their films.
Not everyone will like this film, however those who don't like it can't criticize it. For those that think they can, they minus well shut the hell up and look at the originality and differences this film has to every other horror film out there. This is definatly a film to see in theaters because not only is the sound an important aspect of the film but it's so amazing to sit there and notice how quiet a sold out audience will be while watching this film, you could hear a pin drop. Truly remarkable, quite easily one of the best films of the year if not the best horror film ever made.
