One of the most original ideas ever used in a motion picture.Chilling.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2000)

I remember being afraid to enter the cellar at all hours.I was afraid to enter a dark room and I was afraid to enter anyplace that represented darkness.I was afraid because I did not know what was beyond that darkness.So what a chilling experience it was for me when I viewed "The Blair Witch Project".In actuality,"The Evil Dead" which was also set in the woods,did a much better job at scaring me as well as this film did.They are both great horror films that deal with the unknown. What remained so eerie about this film is that we are never allowed to remind ourselves that this is only a movie.It works because there are no special effects,big stars or a man running around with a machete wearing a hockey mask."The Blair Witch Project" is the kind of horror movie that I would probably watch once every Halloween.Do I think "The Blair Witch Project" is one of the scariest films ever made.Yes,I do.I don't think it's scary enough to freak us out."The Exorcist" did a better job at that."The Blair Witch Project" is worth being called one of the scariest films ever made because in my opinion,the unknown can be a frightening subject and that is what "The Blair Witch Project" is all about.
