Club, was registered when the internet as we know it was still in its infancy. One of the most memorable aspects of the unconventional marketing campaign was the website co-director Eduardo Sánchez built himself.Īccording to The A.V. Williams, and Joshua Leonard (who shared names with their characters) were even listed as deceased on IMDb. To lend legitimacy to the film’s “ found footage” backstory, the filmmakers forbid the three stars from doing press. But when it hit theaters in 1999, an air of mystique still surrounded the production. But this movie didn't click with me.Most viewers who watch The Blair Witch Project today know the horror movie was made with unknown actors on a shoestring budget. I agree that experimental cinema is wonderful and I'm glad that this has done well. I just couldn't get past the stupidity of the people and their lack of survival instincts and self protectiveness. I felt for them and I thought the frantic camera work was interesting. Why go into that house? Why try to find that guy? I mean, your first order of business is to find a way back.
The power of suggestion takes over a little quickly here. Hey, maybe we could put someone at the door and let the others sleep!!! Why do we start running? Where are we going? There's nothing chasing us. What could be more unprotected (we all know the stories about grizzley bears that treat small tents as doggy bags). If the witch is out there, then wouldn't you want to see it, or at least let it get itself singed.
Why was it categorically accepted that a fire should not be set. It could have been a fringe group of the Girl Scouts. Wouldn't it be good to have a look at what was going on outside the tent at night. It's what they portrayed that bothered me. We film everything creatively but we also have a really stupid streak. One of our problems is that we are all so self centered (nineties kinds of people) that we don't listen. We are already spooked by the legends and our minds are playing games with us. But we have wandered in far enough to get ourselves turned around.
Well, here we are in this woods (which doesn't seem to have a lot of trees it looks more like a city park).
