The very first thing we see in the movie is that description about the missing filmmakers. That makes for a terrific start to a movie that is not like any other horror movie ever made. You know the movie isn't real, you know this is made up and that those 3 people are okay. But you just can't help but believing it's true as the movie plays along. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT makes you believe it. It makes you believe all the myths and legends that you hear in the first 10 minutes. Pretty soon, THE BLAIR WITCH POJECT begins to own you.

With my heart pumping in overload, I myself was caught up in the movie. I was in the woods camping out just like those 3 people, only I managed not to get lost as they did. I didn't have to worry about the awful sounds they heard at night. The darkness didn't effect me as much as them. It didn't play tricks on my mind as it did on theirs. What they experienced, and what we, the audience, experienced was just plain pure terror. Terror like you've never heard and seen. You will mostly hear it. That is what makes this film so special is that it scares you with just sound. You have to picture the images. In order to get the full disturbance from the movie, you have to allow your mind to play along with the movie. Mine did, and I was very disturbed after seeing the picture.
