The Blair Witch

                                                                  

 

      I heard two noises coming from two sperate areas of space over there. One of

       them could have been an owl, but the other one sounded like a cackling.

 

Three film students go missing in October 1994 while making a documentary about the Blair Witch, a legendary creature believed to haunt the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland. Their bodies are never found. A year later, however, the footage the students shot has been recovered, and the film in its entirety is composed of fragments of that footage......

Shot in a mixture of color and black and white, with shaky handheld camera movements and either daylight or the flat glare of the camera's light during night scenes, the footage includes material that was intended to be used in the documentary, but the bulk of the film shows the experience of the three students as they wander through the woods......

Soon after setting out, they become hopelessly lost; their situation worsens when Michael, in frustration, throws their only map of the area into the river without telling the others. Over a period of several days, a number of terrifying, unnerving, and possibly supernatural events occur. In one scene, the crew hikes for more than half of the day only to end up in the same spot where they had started....and many strange and eerie things are seen, heard or sensed....

This is an unerving film and is a must see for horror fans....it doesn't follow the usual genres we have been acustomed to but nevertheless it has the desired impact.
