The Blair Witch Project
(1999)
Directed by Daniel
Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez this film stars Heather Donahue, Michael
Williams and Joshua Leonard. Three young film makers head into the
woods to investigate the legend of a local witch.
This low budget,
independent film kick started the found footage genre and made a
massive return on investment for it's makers. The plot is nothing
really unusual but presenting as found footage is refreshing and has
a certain level of charm as it captures the experience of young
people messing about in the woods well. What the film does best is
embrace it's limitations and show as little as possible to allow the
viewers imagination to run wild and fill in the off screen threats.
4/5
