Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Carl H — 20 Jan 2013
This is a great movie. If this movie came out today, it might not have had the same impact as it has on horror/found footage movies. I first saw this when I was nine years old and was extremely terrified.
Fourteen years later, I still am. This movie proves that "what can't be seen is scary." I am happy I had my first taste of this genre with the one that really started it all, because there was nothing else like it at the time.
Today's audience will most likely laugh at it because of the other films using this same technique. That is unfortunate but nothing can send chills down your spine more than not being able to see what you are chasing after, or being chased by.
This is truly a brilliant film when considering how it reinvented the horror genre. The acting is as real as you can get, that is what makes the movie so terrifying. Definitely worth it to watch.
