The Blair Witch Project
Directed by Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sanchez
This modern horror classic follows three filmmakers exploring a Maryland forest in search of proof that the urban legends locals tell about the “Blair Witch” could be true. But what seems at first like a lark quickly becomes a journey into heart-stopping terror. As the three become inexplicably lost and start turning on each other, their tapes begin documenting what could be the final moments of their lives. Even after spawning a generation of found footage fright films, the original BWP still holds up as low-budget masterclass in the horror of the unseen. Contains strong language.
In 1994, three students disappeared while shooting a documentary. A year later, their footage was found.
Cast: Heather Donahue, Michael C. Wiliiams, Joshua Leonard

One of the best, ending scared the shit outta me
the found footage horror movie that started it all
One of my favorites. Saw this at the movies, when people thought it was real, good stuff.
A genre-altering flick. I still remember the first time I saw it when it came out and how freaked out I was at the end!
First time watching, I don't know how it took me so long to. It will definitely be my last time watching it. Heather was annoying asab, the idea of the plot was good, but the execution was meh. For 1999 I understand why it's a classic and so praised, and in it's own way it is groundbreaking but it wasn't actually that enjoyable.
