�����For the few of you out there who haven't heard of this film, boy, have you been missing out!� This might possibly be the most creative film I've ever seen.� It might be the most creative film ever made.� It was shown at the Sundance Film Festival and the hype behind the movie keeps growing and growing as its release date approaches.�

��� To me, movies are like books.� Some you are immediately interested in and you are completely focused from the get go.� Others you have to sit through for a while in order for it to become interesting.� Well, the tag line that proceeds this movie will automatically pull you into the story.� It reads as follows:

��� In October of 1994, three student filmmakers dissapeared in the woods near Burkittesville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary. One year later, their footage was found.

��� This movie is spliced between 16mm and VHS recordings.� This incredibly eerie film is about Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard. � They are film students who go into the woods to shoot a documentary on a local legend, The Blair Witch.� According to the official Blair Witch site located at http://www.blairwitch.com these three students are still missing.�

�� Now if you don't want anything to be given away...don't read any more.

��� The scary thing about this film is because of the first person camera work, it pulls the audience in and you feel like the 4th member of this group.� You are there when they hear the noises.� You're there when things disappear and then little grave sites appear outside their tents.� You hear the babies crying in the middle of nowhere.� You're there for all of it and it becomes very creepy.

��� Now if you don't want to know the whole story....stop reading now.

��� I highly recommend that you see this film before you read this.� Please, if you haven't seen the film already stop reading now. � It will ruin EVERYTHING.� Ok, I warned you, here I go.� Alright, this is to lay to rests any worries you might have.� No, this is not a true story, contrary to popular belief.� All of the three main actors are still alive and well.� The directors got the idea and wrote a rough outline for the story.� The actors did actually shoot the film themselves.� The directors kept in touch with the actors through satellite link-up.� The rest of the crew had the job of running through the forest trying their best to scare the hell out of the actors.� If you did any kind of research, other than official site, you would find this out.� The company who released the film has made numerous public statements.� But still, don't you think the film is much creepier if you didn't know this before going in?
