"The Blair Witch Project" is a movie I feel isn't made to scare you, but is done in a way to give you goosebumps, make you feel disturbed, and give you the idea that this whole thing could've been real. This is a great movie for the "found footage" genre and it still holds up to this very day.

The Blair Witch Project is a horror film wrapped in an art film. It's high-class horror that doesn't rely on cheap jump-out moments and gory deaths. It's all about creating an atmosphere - and if you're watching it with the right people in the right conditions, the atmosphere is terrifying!

The only thing scary about this movie is how gen Xers will fall into line and start marketing anything just as much as the person paid to do so will, and don't seem to be aware they're doing it. It really depends on that principle of self delusion. And self obsession. "I know I am FEELING SOMETHING...". So it must be real. Typical gen X solipsism. Someone that suggestible could actually work themselves into fear over...nothing. And they do, because you can see all the terrified ones that thought it was great. But if you don't create the delusion...well, you see the rest of the reviews. There's nothing there. They seem to recover though, if you look at the movie's ratings trend. Straight down to hades!Vapid, irritating, unconvincing, illogical, amateurish film making at its very worst. Over hyped by the hype machine. Gobbled up by the gullible. Yeah, there's real horror here all right!

I don't really like this movie, but I gotta hand it to the creators for the unique style and idea. At a point where horror movies and thirllers were just cliche after cliche, this just came outta nowhere. if you're looking for the movie that pretty well started the found footage genre, this is it.
