Made for $30,000 by two young filmmakers from Florida, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT wowed festival audiences for several months before finding distribution at the 1999 Sundance Festival. It is an ingenious creation which makes effective use of its lack of budget and cast of unknowns. The film is composed entirely of reportedly "found" footage shot by three missing college students who made a journey to the woods of Western Maryland in 1994 with the purpose of making a documentary about a "witch" of local legend who is linked to murders and mysterious occurrences spanning 200 years. It begins with footage of the crew leaving their homes and testing their equipment, but before we know it, they are lost deep in the endless woods, with the voices of screaming children piercing the blackness from off in the distance. Things get worse from there. The experience is disorienting and frightening as well as the most rewarding horror film experience to come along in many years, as it wisely chooses to prey on our vulnerable imaginations rather than bombard us with graphic images.

A extraordinary box-office success, this looks and sounds like the amateur movie it's meant to be, yet somehow, with its horrors never quite seen, scared audiences the world over, so well-faked was its feeling of reality.

I saw this at the cinema the day it came out at 11pm as the cinema was so busy in demand for this one film, they were showing it throughout the night! Anyway... read more »

Superbly done – and on a budget.
Make no mistake: this is a the sort of film you'll be watching much of from behind your fingers; it's unpredictable and, for this reason, genuinely ... read more »

Dull and Disappointed.
I didn't like this film, there was only a few worthy scary parts and the rest a little weird. Hopefully I will find a better film next time I choose a DVD ... read more »
Game: Resident Evil Zero Archives Format: Wii Publisher: Capcom It’s hard for those who remember every detail of the first Resident Evil game to imagine that the survival horror series has been around quite as long as it has. Since the first zombie slaying adventure from Capcom in 1996, the Resident Evil franchise has seen numerous titles released to a near consistently delighted public. Along with the main canon of games, and a trilogy of Hollywood films, there have been a number of... Read more
