Most scary film ever? No. One of the most original? Yes.

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 1999)

Anyone who comes out of this film moaning and groaning about how lame it is is probably one of two things, either stupid, or - I'll admit - simply not a big film fan. It's a tragedy I think that this film managed to grab the byline "Scariest film ever," because I think that really takes away from what this film is. Some films achieve greatness because they have great acting, great directing, a great script, or a great premise.
The Blair Witch Project completely twists the notions of acting and directing, works largely without anything resembling a traditional script, and though it does also a brilliant premise, what makes this film great is the groundbreaking originality of it's construction. A few films, Citizen Kane and Pulp Fiction come to mind, have changed the notion of what a film can be or should be, and how it should be made. The Blair Witch Project is one of those films.
