I’ll end with a quote from Roger Ebert in his review of the film: “The noise in the dark is almost always scarier than what makes the noise in the dark.” As you hear Heather and the group running away, yelling “What the f**k is that?!?!” you can visualize something terrifying, something that we don’t see explicitly but we can see clearly in our heads. The mysterious is always the scariest thing, because everything is left to your imagination. This movie was a refreshing break from all of that, again even if it did come out in 1999. The plots are overdone and the acting always sucks.

Take a movie like Truth or Dare for example, or Fantasy Island, or just about any other Blumhouse teen horror movie. Horror films nowadays are cheap and stupid. It’s really fresh, even if it did come out in 1999.

Instead of relying on cheap jump scares to enhance the terror, this film relies on the eerie atmosphere that appears as soon as the trio finds the sticks hanging from the trees. It’s really cool to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on during the making of this film.Īdditionally, the horror aspect of this film is awesome. There were fake missing person flyers with the three leads’ names and pictures, there was an entire website created to promote this film that you can still look up today. If you don’t know already, they marketed this film like it was a true story, which the found-footage filming style (I believe this film was one of the first to utilize that filming tactic) helped massively with. I cannot stress how amazing the marketing was for this movie. All of the leads’ performances are spot on. Joshua Leonard is good too as the guy who gets captured by the supposed Blair Witch. Williams is also great as one of her companions, a guy who slowly becomes skeptical of Heather’s intentions as the plot goes on. Heather Donahue gives a gut wrenching, incredible performance as this girl who just wants all of this witchcraft and torture to end. So I just finished The Blair Witch Project and I can now see why it’s this big thing among horror cinema fans.
