The movie does a marvelous job at various things but one is the start of the thing when we learn the history of the curse through the documentary set up. If you can imagine yourself lost in the woods then you should be able to know the fears going on with the filmmakers here. I think the greatness of the film, and something very important, is that the viewer is put into the action to where you can feel everything that the three filmmakers are going through. These are three elements that make this film so effective because there isn't any blood, no monster, no killer and whatever is out there is something we never see. I think these basic fears can be the dark, being lost or hearing something when you shouldn't be hearing anything. After viewing the film I think it still holds up remarkably well and even though the hype has died down and much hates has been thrown upon the film, it still remains a rather chilling and all too realistic venture into basic fears. It's been about six years or more since I last watched the film so I was very curious going in as to how the film would hold up. I remember the hype surrounding this film quite well and I remember my two viewings in the theater when the film originally opened. Blair Witch Project, The (1999) **** (out of 4) The story is known by everyone as three filmmakers go into the wood to tell the story of the Blair Witch and soon they find themselves lost with something apparently coming for them.
