The Blair Witch Project – Review The Blair Witch Project is a fantastic horror movie directed by Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick, with its very low budget of $60,000 being able to stretch out across a full feature length film. The movie is about 3 filmmakers; Heather, Josh and Michael, they are planning on making a documentary on the urban legend of ‘The Blair Witch’, but as they progress throughout the forest where it is believed the Blair Witch lives it turns out to be highly unanticipated what they see and come across. It does an incredible way of creating suspense most the scene and the unknown cast sell their realistic performances, with the story putting divides and tension between the relationship of the characters, but constantly reminding us of the main fear for the characters. However, the film does have interesting character with a unique take on the horror genre, it does have parts where the movie drags or scene that could be removed entirely without having the pacing or story worse off. The unique filming style gives the film a realistic look selling the believability of the ‘found-footage’ narrative that was a big part of the marketing for the movie. The movie also gives a reason for the characters actions and why they are filming in the first place, which has since been forgotten or left out in modern found-footage films.
