One of my all time favorites.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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!

I agree with another reviewer. This movie is soooo boring, it's just these 3 people wandering around the woods acting scared. You literally see nothing happening, just some moments where you think something is going to happen but then nothing, back to the 3 people being scared and breathing and crying into the camera. The hype for this movie is really when it was thought to have been based on a "true" documentary. Otherwise, it's really just pointless amateur video recording like the ones you do for drama class. I think "Naked and Afraid" is way more exciting, and I've never seen it, it just has to be because this is the most boring movie EVER.

I feel like I am the last person on the planet to have seen this film and I could have left it off my bucket list. This is the mother of the hand held genre with Heather Donahue being the cut off face that launched a 1,000 films. I found the premise to be interesting. The interviews with locals seemed extremely real and not boring. The internal conflict the group has in the woods was over done and was more grating than entertaining. Yes, I wanted to kick the crap out of Michael (Williams) too. It is iconic, so I watched it.Utz chips and beer is indeed the meal of champions.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Heather Donahue gives us the best Up-Nostril since José Ferrer in "Cyrano de Bergerac."

I just cannot understand why anyone likes this film. The whole premise of 'found footage' genre is flawed, for example, would you still be holding a camera and filming if you were running away from someone or something? One other film that uses this genre is Cloverfield and I cannot get over the fact that you would be fleeing from a so called monster (that you never really see properly by the way) and still filming! Think about it - would you really be doing this? Also, surely the whole point of cinema is photography, how things look, putting images on screen, with The Blair Witch Project most of the film is in darkness, you can hardly see anything most of the time, what is the point of film in this case? If the screaming and whining is scary (I just think it is highly annoying) to you, it might as well have been broadcast on the radio. One of the other reviewers stated that without BWP there would not be other found footage films, this is probably true, but that is nothing to be celebrated! The only one of the found footage genre that I find remotely scary is Paranormal Activity and I think that in this case it works, because the scary in this film is supposed to be a ghost, something we can't necessarily see, and there are static cameras around the house, which you may have in your home for security reasons, this makes the premise all the more acceptable and believable. The cameras just happen to 'catch' or 'capture' unusual events or happenings as they occur. I must admit I was scared by these movies and the addition of times and dates made the films seem more real like it had actually happened. I am not knocking BWP for being low budget, there have been plenty of excellent low budget movies over the years, eg I don't think Jaws or Halloween had very big budgets, BUT I would like something to see for my money! Personally I think people fell for the hype, it was a very clever marketing ploy by the makers of this film to pretend that the Blair Witch legend was real and even that the found footage was 'real' and not a movie at all, more of a documentary! Please do not remake this film in 10 or 20 years time, once was enough!
