Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Anezka K — 06 Jan 2013
It's difficult to be fair judging this film in nowadays parameters, because almost all its success was due to its innovative approach. Surely it was not the first documentary-style horror film, but it was the first one to reach a great amount of people. And it started a new style of horror whose offspring is every year showing up on theaters.
Seeing it again, I felt like nothing happened. Nothing is actually shown! And I knew nothing would be shown and how the story was going to end. But by the time I watched it for the first time, as I was trying to discover, along with the characters, what was going on there, the film was really compelling and showed that creativity can be more important than budget when the aim is to scare an audience.
The Blair Witch Project is certainly a modern genre classic.
