At The
Movies...
The Blair Witch Project
"On October 21, 1994,
Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams hiked into the Black Hills Forest
to shoot a documentary film on a local legend called The Blair Witch, and were
never seen again. One year later, their footage was found." These are the
opening lines of The Blair Witch Project. There are no credits, there is no
flashback sequence, and there is no friendly narrator to guide you through this.
The next 87 minutes is the three filmmakers' footage in chronological order, or
so the audience is made to believe. In reality those 87 minutes are occupied
with unique filmmaking and a beautiful script which amalgamates for one of the
scariest and most intense films since Alfred Hitchcock gave us a reason to not
shower in 1960.
