![]() ![]() In conclusion, if you are an indie or a horror fan, or a fan of psychological dramas, this film is one of the best I can think of. ![]() While I didn’t really find the witch concept offensive, I would add a word of caution that both witches and witchcraft are very real, and there are strong warnings against both in Scripture. There is really not much else that is offensive about the film no sex, very little violence, although some implication of the latter is present. However, on a warning note, there is a very heavy dose of profanity, which doesn’t seem out of place (not worse than anything one would hear in an average college dorm), but makes the film pretty grating on the ears at times. The concept and execution of the film is brilliant. Since they also operate all the cameras, the audience is drawn into the film in a very effective way. They are utterly convincing as college film students, and they also give their characters a very solid emotional core. The three main performances in the film are phenomenal. Everything about the movie is so convincingly realistic that it does seem very plausible that the events in this film could have actually taken place. While most modern horror films rely on over-the-top gore, special effects and cheap “jump” scares, “The Blair Witch Project” works on almost a purely psychological level. The creators of the film (which is fictional) have taken this purportedly found footage and edited it into one of the creepiest, most unnerving films I think I have seen. So begins “The Blair Witch Project,” a low budget quasi-documentary horror film. Sequel: “ Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2” (2000), “ Blair Witch” (2016) ![]()
