movie review - Blair Witch Project
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1999.07.19
This movie scared me, pure and simple. It's one of the most effective films I've seen in eons. It's a ghost story of sorts, in which some young people try to track down a certain cabin in the woods that's meant to be home to a witch (or her ghost). I won't give much away, other than to say that the two self-effacing directors were at this preview, and that I'm very happy to have caught one of the T-shirts they were throwing out to the crowd. It was one of those fun things, that, with a genuinely good movie to see, made it a favorite movie-going experience to date.
Recommended.
