Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2017)

Blair Witch Project is about 3 people, Heather, Josh and Mike, documenting on the "Blair Witch" a tale well known by the town of Burkittsville. This film was the start of the Found Footage Horror movie genre. They use the found footage technique to try to make the movie more real and in this movie it is used very effectively. Once they first see the weird rock piles I was at the edge of my seat. This in my opinion is horror, it captures the fear of getting lost and knowing that something is watching you at all times. The scariest part of the movie is not knowing what is out there. You never see what is scaring them, you only hear noises and see the characters reactions and it adds more realism to the movie. But the last 5-10 minutes of the movie are terrifying. Once the words "There's a house" were said, stuff was gonna go down. Throughout the movie Josh goes missing and Heather and Mike start to go looking for him. They start hearing his voice from an abandoned house and they decide to enter, at night. Mike heads to the bottom floor and finds Josh getting killed by something (off camera) and his camera cuts off. Then it switches to Heather's camera and she heads downstairs. She then sees Mike facing the corner of the room not moving at all. Then Heather's camera is knocked over facing the floor and it ends. The reason Mike was facing the wall was that before they headed into the woods, they were talking to some town locals about the "Blair Witch" and one of the people said that the when someone sees the witch killing someone, they get put in a corner facing away and then after they get killed. That's what happened to Mike. He saw Josh getting killed so he got put in a corner. And Heather then saw Mike getting killed and so on. I don't think this movie is one of the best or one or over hyped. The camera quality hasn't dated that well in today's time and the films that came after this kind of make you disrespect this movie a little bit. It's really fun horror movie that is fun to watch with a group of friends.
