BLAIR WITCH: HIGHLY ORIGINAL, SCARY THRILLER!

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 1999)

I saw this movie in all of its glory at one of the many
sold-out performances of the Sundance Film Festival and it was
incredible! A truly unique conceptual horror-film where the
point-of-view is through the cameras of 3 film students creating
a documentary about the mythical Blair Witch who resides in the
hills of Maryland. Legend has it that she tortures and kills
all that walks into her path.
Well, with that in mind, the film opens with these 3 poor souls
missing for several years, last being seen in a nearby town
asking questions to the creepy locals. All that remains of
their existence is the footage that they shot, which is pieced
together in an attempt to discover the mystery of their
disappearance.
Pretty cool, eh?
Yes, The Blair Witch Project sure is. The directors and writers
Dan Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez are a force to be reckoned with
in the world of independent, thought-provoking film-making. Met
the producers at the fest too, who also should be congratulated
for this exciting movie.
