Highly original - DO believe the hype...

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

The Blair Witch Project focuses on a group of students who shoot a documentary about a local myth - the Blair Witch. They hike into the forest - never to be found again.... Their footage is rediscovered a year later - that footage is the Blair Witch Project.
This film is a highly original "movie" - choc full of fear and mood. Yes - it was hyped beyond belief when it was released... It was billed as a sort of snuff documentary of sorts. But I think it delivers mood and atmosphere by the truck load.
The characters are well developed and conceived. When the proverbial poo hits the fan - the tension between the characters hits boiling point.
Don't expect a truck load of gore, zombies or hockey masked goons - just lose yourself atmosphere and mood in the Blair Witch Project!
