Creating a school documentary, a group of students go in over their heads.

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2007)

"The Blair Witch Project" is undoubtedly, unquestionably, flawlessly the most creative horror film in history. It takes on the concept of deception and friendship, tormenting us with its ability to make us wonder, as the three protagonists are baffled, attacked, and ultimately, fall victim to the demon in the film. "Blair Witch" displays three college students, hoping for nothing but a good grade and some fun along the way, who create a documentary on a local ghost story. They interview people who claim to have seen or experienced the presence of that ghost, commonly known as the blair witch. The groups leader feels she needs more though, and alongside her fellow classmates, ventures into the forest, where the witch is claimed to lurk. The terror starts slightly, and almost unnoticeably with small fragments from the interviewees tales. From there, they grow, into late night catastrophe, hearing footsteps, screams, and experiencing voodoo like symbolism. From the second, the team enters the forest, we become tense, waiting for a nightmarish feat to be done upon our three, hopeless characters. The movie travels down a twisting, turning road of betrayal, uncertainty, and overall humanism. It's realism in cinematography, screen writing, and acting, makes it an even more superb film experience for, in the words of Hitchcock, "Our terrifying delight". It's a movie that will haunt our lives for the rest of time.
