Many went into this film thinking it was a true documentary. |
*Please note that this review is not spoiler free!!!
The Blair Witch Project, released in the summer of 1999, would make a huge impact on the way movies are filmed and how they are promoted. Since it was released, the found -footage style has become popular in both the horror and sci-fi genres. The deceptive marketing of films being true or based on true events (even if they were not) would also go on to be used by other famous films (ex. Paranormal Activity). While most of us laugh when looking back at how dramatic The Blair Witch Project is, there is absolutely no way you can deny how important it has proven itself to be in the movie industry.

A sequel would quickly be put together after the unexpected success of BWP. Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows would be released a little over a year later in 2000. Lacking everything that made the original great and being plagued with both horrible acting and a predictable, uninteresting storyline, Book of Shadows is both a total failure and total bore-fest.

The best part of the 2016 version, without a doubt. |
