The Blair Witch Project has the 'camcorder' effect which I really like in movies, makes it more scary, in my opinion. in all of these movies the 'creatures' are shown though I didn't find it scary at all. I've seen many more horror movies like Evil Dead (all of them), Paranormal Activity, 28 Days Later, The Descent, 1408, The Exorcist.
#The actors from the blair witch project 1999 movie
Just because you can't see the 'creature' you don't know if it's really there or not, that's what makes this movie so original and realistic. I've seen many more horror movies like Evil Dead (all of them), Paranormal Although many people didn't find it scary, I though it was really scary. … ExpandĪlthough many people didn't find it scary, I though it was really scary. Outside of those people who can't stand student film to begin with or can't appreciate something filmed with shaky cameras (something most people get used to in a matter of minutes, and something that is a huge part of modern news reporting), nothing can draw an audience in quite like this movie. Minimalism is the name of the game, hiding or only showing a little of any scene - only what was caught on the characters' cameras. By shooting this movie over six straight days and camping in the woods, these college-level actors access real fatigue and real emotion that blows away Hollywood performances because even though their premise is every bit as fictional as a blockbuster, their feelings are real. Instead of a soundtrack, this movie has whatever the microphones picked up in the woods - much scarier than a bunch of licensed music or orchestral tones. It's shot in a real environment, not a sterile set or against a CGI backdrop its actors improvise their dialogue rather than read from scripts the lighting is completely natural, and all the sounds are ambient.
This is the effect of great atmosphere, and the Blair Witch Project has it. Watching it on DVD in my house, I still felt as though someone might be watching me from down the hall. Every financially I watched this movie for the thirteenth time last night, and was still creeped right out.
Who gets to do that? On a brutally hot July day, the 1984 Toyota Celica I bought with my temping pay when I moved to LA overheated (again), only this time it happened under a billboard with my face on it.I watched this movie for the thirteenth time last night, and was still creeped right out. I watched a significant time in my life unfurl without me. It was the marketing department that killed me.īeing dead and alive at the same time has its advantages. It said I was dead on IMDB, a site that was new when I first died in 1999 – a time when people still believed everything on the internet was true. It’s a complicated thing to be dead when you’re still very much alive and eager to make a name for yourself. " My obituary was published when I was 24. In a new opinion column posted on The Guardian, Donahue recalls just how surreal it was to be pronounced dead at the age of 24: Showing a perhaps disturbing level of commitment to this premise, Artisan actually had obituaries published for the three still very much alive actors. To preserve the illusion that the movie was in fact composed of actual footage, distributor Artisan Entertainment even went so far as to publicly push the idea that stars Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams were all actually deceased film students. In actuality, The Blair Witch Project was the low-budget brainchild of filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, along with a cast of three unknown actors. An added quirk of Blair's online promotion was that it was primarily sold as a documentary, and not the fictional narrative it truly was. Made in the still relatively early days of the internet, Blair Witch also established the template for what the world now calls viral marketing, a practice that most major films now employ ubiquitously. While it was far from the first film to ever employ the found-footage style, it would be fair to say that 1999's The Blair Witch Project served to popularize the sub-genre for modern audiences.
