Plot: In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittesville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary... A year later, their footage was found. Now prepare for a motion picture experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen, heard or feared before. The Blair Witch Project follows a trio of filmmakers on what should have been a simple walk in the woods... but quickly becomes an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the three become inexplicably lost, morale deteriorates. Hunger sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, chilling ritualistic figures are discovered nearby. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming now is not a legend...but their own descent into unimaginable horrorMade for $30,000 by two young filmmakers from Florida, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT wowed festival audiences for several months before finding distribution at the 1999 Sundance Festival. It is an ingenious creation which makes effective use of its lack of budget and cast of unknowns.

 In closing, I've simply got to say what a fine film this is - both in plot and cinematic merit. The film works as a horrifying tale of the unknown, but also shows us that it doesn't take millions to make a truly scary film.

The Blair Witch Project's use of the "less is more" philosophy of cinema is staggeringly successful here, for this would have been a ridiculously hammy movie if the terror-in-the-woods was uncovered for all to see. The film allows the viewers to imagine their own terror, which is undoubtedly a more terrifying one than could ever be put onto celluloid.--Cortney Fusco (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Still while you're watching this you may have a lot of indifferent feelings towards it, be it because of its lack of a steady plot or when certain events don't ring 'true', but it's still a darkly spooky tale that doesn't need elaborate effects or non-stop action to work.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
I was, however, completely engrossed. Even though I knew things were going to end badly (we're told that from the beginning), the film kept me wondering what was going to happen next. ... It fucked me up. 83/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
