I just saw it for the first time in probably a decade or more and, while it doesn't hold the same impact as it did initially, it's still a remarkably well-done low-budget psychological horror movie. A lot of the credit for that should go to the actors, particularly Heather Donahue, for doing such a great job of making it seem believable. That seems silly, of course, but I heard several people back then who believed what they saw on the screen really happened. At the time, people debated whether or not this was actually real.
The blair witch project 1999 review movie#
It's probably the only movie of its type that ever seemed remotely authentic to me, even though I knew it was all fiction. Most found footage movies are absolutely terrible and can't hold a candle to this one. A modern classic that helped usher in that particular subgenre of horror we have today. The found-footage legend that started it all.Ĭompelling and eerie found footage movie about a trio of amateur filmmakers who disappear after hiking into the Burkitsville, Maryland, woods to shoot a documentary about the legend of the Blair Witch.
