too interesting not to watch

The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American movie based on a true story. It is about three young students; Heather, Josh and Mike, who get lost in a woods while they are doing a project on the Blair Witch. They spend a week asking questions about the witch and the related legend, then they go into the woods. They are supposed to spend two days there, but they get lost, and strange things begin to occur. As the movie goes on, tension rises, reaching the highest point when the guys find a house hidden in the trees. There, what told by the legend we heard about at the beginning happens. Mike faces the wall, so we know that Josh is already dead, Mike is going to be killed, and Heater is going to be the next one. Even though the killing of the guys isn't shown, the end of the movie is pretty clear. The movie is a psychological horror based on the recovered footage discovered a year later after the guys' disappeared. You really become involved with it; knowing that you are watching what those guys were filming makes you feel their emotions. It scares you because you can feel the real fear. Their acting is very realistic and the use of cameras is interesting and compelling. It is not a usual horror movie, but it is still fascinating. It can be considered boring because not much happens, however I think it does catch your interest till the end. It is probably not the best movie in this genre, but it is definitely a film worth watching.
