This isn't your typical horror movie, not by a long shot!

Rating: 4/10 (5 August 1999)

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of The Blair Witch Project is bone chilling, the second is amazingly creative. This isn't a slasher film full of blood guts and gore, it's something entirely different, it's frightening. This movie relies on building bone chilling suspense that your own imagination supplies for you, probably more frightening than anything the movie industry could supply you with. You see everything the three film makers in the movie see and you hear what they hear and no more. What you don't see is always more frightening than what you do. It's the unknown that is terrifying and all through this movie you have to contend with the unknown. You never know what is going to happen next. You know that something will but never what. The only contrived aspect of this movie is that these three kids would continue to film through everything that they are experiencing. The movie does try and qualify this by having them explain how it makes them feel better seeing things through the camera's eye. Regardless of that, this is a must see movie.
