Though what sold this movie was the word of mouth and hype leading up to it. You would have thought it was a ride at Disneyland the way crows flocked to the theatres. It was the thrill of the crowd and their anticipation that helped highlight the evening. I remember the year quite well, as I waited in line for this obscurely cheaply shot film. BWP created a new wave of horror style, managed to make quite a few magazine covers and had made quite a few horror and movie lists with its groundbreaking release. To review the Blair Witch Project, a 1999 phenomena, is more like trying to compress time into a bottle. The footage was compiled and made into a movie.

One year later, the students film and video was found in the woods. The three went into the woods on a two day hike to find the Blair Witch, and never came back.

Three film students travel to Maryland to make a student film about a local urban legend… The Blair Witch.
