The Blair Witch Project (7/10)

Rating: 7/10 (21 October 2017)

Sometimes a great creepy horror movie, doesn't need crazy special effects or well calculated jump scares, sometimes all it takes is simple story and creepy atmosphere. The Blair Witch Project is possibly the most brilliantly marketed film of all time. The public was attracted to the ambiguity of the film trailer and website, as well as the insisting notion that the events occurred were in fact real. The film also revolutionized how many horror films slash their budget by going to hand-held cameras. It's never an ideal way of film-making,some movies can pull off a shaky camera, some can't, however the Blair Witch Project absolutely does. The big bug-ab-boo is the acting and dialogue are extremely monotonous. Characters are also unlikable at times. The Blair Witch Project is a wickedly creepy, bare-bones film with a dark, soulless ending that will stick with the viewer.
