"The Blair Witch Project" (1999)

[jaragon]

The original found footage horror movie was brilliantly marketed by Lionsgate.  I first saw as bootleg copy that had been leaked to the internet watched it late at night and it did scare the hell out of me. Yes I was fooled into thinking that this was real footage from the trio of doomed young filmmakers that vanished while making a documentary about a legendary witch.  Writers/directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sachez made a a very convincing film. It works better than other found footage movies because the characters do have reason to keep filming even when running from horror.
