a breath of fresh air

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 1999)

At a time when big bucks effects extravaganzas (The Haunting, Deep Blue Sea) vie for the terrified yelps of the viewing public, the Blair Witch Project has come along to prove that mankind's greatest fear lies inside, not on the hard drive of the computer of some Hollywood hack. The realism of this film leaves the viewer terrified as he exits the theater, forever peering into the darkness in search of something more.
