The opening of the 'The Blair Witch Project' is a paragraph of text on the screen. There are no credits, there is no flashback series, and there is no friendly narrator to help you through this. The next 87 minutes are the chronologically organized footage of the three filmmakers-or, so the viewer is made to believe. In reality, those 87 minutes are occupied by unique filmmaking and a beautiful script that merges with one of the scariest and most intense movies.
Like other urban legends, the urban legend is the Blair Witch, since it is ambiguous and vague. There are various individuals with different tales, and almost nothing is known. The little that is known tells us that in the past the Blair Witch has taken victims, and is conducive to torturous methods of dismemberment. "One person describes the creature as" an old woman who never hits the ground with her feet. "Another explanation says" she was hairy from head to toe. "That is if there is a Blair Witch in the first place, something a faction doubts that is respectably sized.
After doing some short interview work in Burkittsville, Maryland, where the town of Blair used to stand, the unknowingly doomed party heads off into the Maryland forests. "The group of three gradually see their documentary develop into a creepy and frustrating experience that tears in a very similar way to the very structure of their relationships as MTV introduces its famous show" The Real World.
Heather's authoritarian directing work is at the heart of the turbulent partnership. She requests that almost every moment be recorded on video, even the elements behind the scenes that she insists the group can look back on laughing someday. The video is purposefully shaky, the attempt of co-directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanches to get the film the ultimate realistic feeling. But after a while, if Heather is the great perfectionist she is made out to be, you are led to doubt why the footage taken for the film will be of such a bad nature.
There are no ghosts, no goblins, no monsters in The Blair Witch Project, not even a witch on the screen. To gradually lead the audience into terror, there is no background music. There is just one isolated blood and gore occurrence, a very mild one at that. The production plays with your nerves, instead of using these conventional elements to pull the audience into horror and terror. A permanent dramatic irony is created by telling you about the fate of the three protagonists before the film begins. This feature, however, also brings a big drawback. Things have already become creepy about an hour into the film, and the group is already at odds with each other.
The Blair Witch Project is a smart film, for sure. I was scared during the movie, but a feeling came over me towards the end, where I just wanted the darn thing to end. And there was a queasy feeling in my stomach when it did, but I assume it came from eating so much popcorn.
