Its makers Hollywoodized the original concept and thus made it completely incoherent and unwatchable. Although I like this movie, the sequel, "Book of Shadows", is just awful. Produced for 60,000, the film went on to make 248.6. I personally think the horror genre has been much worse off since Jason and his ilk first invaded the movies back in 1980 with graphic violence that is predictable and, quite frankly, boring. Today, Blair Witch, released 20 years ago this week (and streaming now on Hulu ), remains an inflection point for the movie industry. However, this film just proved in 1999, as it still does, that you don't have to fill a horror film with wall-to-wall state-of-the-art CGI visual effects and shocking violence in order to be scary. The very last scene is particularly chilling, and if you already know how it ends it will kill some of the fright factor for you. The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American supernatural horror film written, directed and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Snchez. What made this film scary in 1999 and scary now is what you don't see and what you think you hear as well as the growing paranoia and fright of the college kids lost in the woods over a period of days that find - as they run out of food and supplies - that they are just wandering in circles. It seems many people dislike this film because they think the entirety of its reputation lay in the confusion/publicity campaign generated at the time of its release as to whether it was a real film found in the woods of Maryland that documented the disappearance of three college students or whether it was just a movie.
