Possibly the best horror movie ever made; certainly the most intelligent.

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 1999)

Movies can become integral to one's personal mythology. For example, looking at the curtain or door before closing your eyes in the shower (Psycho) or checking for sharks before swimming (Jaws), or, now, thinking twice before a peaceful stroll in the woods, at night. Anyone who sees Blair Witch will, I think, incorporate it into his/her understanding of dark, or isolation, or of fearful things. Movies like this stay with us (whether we want them to or not) forever.
