Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Facebook U — 24 Mar 2015
Don't go into Blair Witch thinking to see some giant CGI monster like in "Mama". Blair Witch is about what you don't see, and the movies tone, atmosphere, and pacing are perfect. Now yes it is a little slow, but the performances from all the actors completely make up for it.
With the strong acting, this movie would really be passable. When the movie is about the people, you need to buy the fact they're really losing it. It's one of those movies you consider a mixed bag when it's over, but as you take a few days to think about it, you like it more and more.
Though, I can only imagine watch this must have been like to watch in 1999. At that time, found footage was all new, and people had never seen a horror movie that felt this real. It's not for everyone, but what it does well, it really does well.
