Trending
The Blair Witch Project was released in 1999 and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. It followed three filmmakers who disappeared while documenting a local legend. The movie used shaky cameras and raw footage to make it feel real. Its marketing campaign relied on websites and fake missing-person reports to convince audiences it was based on true events. It became one of the most successful independent films ever made and set a new standard for horror movies. It also popularized the found-footage style, which later influenced films like Paranormal Activity. Its low-budget approach made it look realistic and unsettling.
