Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by Harman K — 17 May 2012

I remember the first time I watched this film, my brother caught me off guard when I was only 12 years old, he told me we were going to go to the theaters and watch a scary film. My perception on horror movies during those days, and even more so now, are that they are absolute crap. They do not care about the bigger picture, the story, the imagination, and at that age of my life I had never seen anything like The Blair Witch Project. I pretty much thought it was going to be another washed up flick using the same tactics in the predecessors before it, but I was completely and utterly wrong.

What followed was the biggest and most frightening experience of my life, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, and I had almost shit my pants. I didn't see a trailer of this movie before I saw it, didn't read the synopsis, my brother didn't tell me anything about it. By the end of the movie, I couldn't stop thinking about the characters and the Blair Witch.

This movie is absolutely fucking brilliant, the creators/actors are geniuses, I've never been so scared in my entire life!
