Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Erik W — 29 Sep 2014

Innovative film that started the 'found footage' movie craze. While having aged a bit and not being as effective if you know ahead of time this is a fake film (this is one movie that truly benefits from the media surrounding, particularly the excellent 'Curse of the Blair Witch' feature), it's still solid movie that shows how found footage should work.

The actors give believable performances & the low-tech camera work gives a realistic feel. Plus, the lack of visual effects allows more to the imagination. Overall, while not as good a remembered, still one of the best films of it's genre.
