The Blairwitch Project (1999)
»The Blair Witch Project« is a seminal found-footage horror film directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, following three film students who venture into the woods to document the Blair Witch legend, only to mysteriously disappear. The film masterfully utilizes minimalistic techniques, focusing on psychological horror and the fear of the unknown rather than explicit supernatural elements or jump scares. Its raw, handheld camera aesthetic and the growing tension among the protagonists enhance the realism and immersion, making the audience feel like participants in the unfolding horror, while its open-ended narrative leaves a lasting, haunting impression.
