It's maybe good that these guys got lost and eaten or whatever, because before stuff starts going wrong it seems like their documentary was probably going to suck.

“you going to write us a happy ending, heather?”

finally raising my rating to 5 stars because found footage horror begins and ends here. this is literally the blueprint and i don’t think anything will ever top this super specific kind of scary

Lets face the facts here, The Blair Witch Project was a groundbreaking film.

A horror classic.

A genre starter. And ultimately, the best of that genre.

Unusually for a horror, It shows you nothing. There is no blood, there is no violence, and it explains absolutely nothing. It's a brilliant watch. A proper psychological horror.

The actors never put a foot wrong, great performances. If we can call them performances, but of course this is real fear we are watching, and it is impossible not to let that fear get to you.

The shaky camera work has never been easy to watch, but just you try looking away.

I could tell you every single detail of this film, and you would still be scared shitless when you watch.

Genius film making.

it took me twenty additional minutes to finish this because about halfway through my television turned itself off and i just thought they'd put the camera in their pocket or something.

With how annoying these characters were, I was rooting for the witch

every time i rewatch this i always think... oh damn... it's not as scary as i remember... BUT THEN THEY FIND THE HOUSE.....

“i don’t wanna go cheesy, i wanna really avoid any cheese. i wanna present this in a straightforward a way as possible and i think the legend is unsettling enough”

one of the scariest fucking movies ever made, i just had to turn the light on in my room even though i’ve seen it half a dozen times already. in the kindest way possible: fuck this movie

honestly at what point do you just like.......give up
if i had walked all day in the woods and ended up at the place i began i would just lay down and accept my fate

miss blair witch decided she couldnt handle the sound of these bitches constantly arguing anymore and u know what? good for her

IMAGINE BEING ME AND HAVING THIS RESTING AT A 1.5/5
IMAGINE HOLDING YOUR OPINION THAT YOU HAD WHEN YOU WERE 12 ON THIS FILM FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS
IMAGINE NOT CARING ENOUGH TO REWATCH THIS AND JUST BLINDLY SAYING IT'S BORING (YIKES)
IMAGINE THINKING THIS IS BORING
IMAGINE BEING W R O N G
IMAGINE BEING A DUMB FUCKING BITCH LIKE ME

I want to fuck The Blair Witch Project (1999), wow.

93/100

Fifth viewing, though the fourth was a decade ago. Tried and failed to work some thoughts on widespread hatred for Heather Donahue's performance into my Dissolve Movie of the Week piece, which is probably just as well as the comments would likely have degenerated into a Gamergate death spiral. But I really do believe a lot of the vitriol was fueled by misogyny. Guys like their scream queens less assertive, more docile.

100 Must See Horror Movies Scratch Off number 20 - The Blair Witch Project
The opening text does a great job at summing up this film
“In October if 1994, three student film makers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary. 
A year later their footage was found.”
I wish I could’ve experienced the brilliant marketing hype and theatrical release of this film! It’s simplicity is the key to paranoia and letting one’s imagination run wild (kinda like these idiots in the woods). Slowly watching each of their descent into madness and growing frustration is mesmerizing. 
4/5 rants about the map. 
“Tell me you’re not eating a dry leaf.” 
Moral of the story: group projects are deadly.

I appreciate that it impacted horror and paved the way for the "found footage" genre, but it was not scary enough nor did it captivate me.

heather shut the actual fuck up. mike is an idiot.

This wasn’t bad but it could have been a lot better. Still, pretty cool to see the king of found footage horror!

this was just them arguing for an hour and a half and then as soon as it seems something actually interesting was about to happen it just ended. wtf

Still probably the best found footage horror film

The found footage sensation that jump started the sub genre.  I luckily saw this before the overhyped happened.  The improve approach to dialog and keeping the actors in the literal dark is a great approach.
