A half baked cake in the end

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2009)

I have watched many horror cum thriller movies before. But this one surely was different than any of them. The plot of the movie itself interested me so much that I decided to watch it. The movie is about three young documentary makers who venture into the deadly woods in search of a local legend called "The Blair Witch". Before the start of the movie, a note appears which asserts to the viewer that the 3 students have disappeared in the woods and after one year, their video footage is received which is the movie itself.
Since the entire movie is like an amateur video footage, it gives us a feel of the friendly videos we sometimes take with our friends with no camera focus, angles, lighting etc. The actors too had to be at their natural best, and they succeed in just playing "lost" rather than acting. Hence all expressions of anger, frustration, fear etc look very much real rather than made up. The ending of the movie is like a half-baked cake, it does not fully satisfy the viewer. Overall, it is surely a one time watch for an entire different take on film making
