The Blair Witch Project
1999
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.

Diary of the Dead
- 03 Mar 2008
Zombie maestro George A Romero proves us all wrong again: you really can flog a dead horse. Just watch that it doesn't bite you back. This isn't exactly a sequel to the unfolding Night of the Living Dead series (so far 68-year-old Romero has given us Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead, and not a dud among them). Rather, it takes us back to square one and the very first night. The diary idea is similar to the first-person point of view in Cloverfield and The Blair Witch... Read more
Movies to watch in 2008
- 02 Jan 2008
This year could be a big one for the movie industry once again and Guardian writer Steve Rose has compiled a list of what to watch out for in the next 12 months. First up is Cloverfield, the mysterious monster project from producer JJ Abrams. According to Rose, the action thriller looks like a cross between The Blair Witch Project, Godzilla, Lost and Friends. It is set for release in February. Other potential blockbusters to look out for include The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton as the... Read more
Cloverfield
- 28 Jan 2008
The party crasher from Hell, the monster at the heart of Cloverfield doesn't have a name. He might be the son of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, or second cousin to Godzilla. We do know he's big, angry, and like countless other immigrants, he made his way into Manhattan by way of the port. He sends the disembodied head of Lady Liberty uptown as a kind of calling card. By then, we're grateful for the intrusion. Matt Reeves' movie begins with more than 20 minutes of plausibly banal home video... Read more
[Rec]
- 07 Apr 2008
There's something about zombies that has caught moviegoers' imagination in the last years - something to do with the fear of viral epidemics and social breakdown, probably. A zombie's major handicap would traditionally be its speed, or the lack of it. Danny Boyle got around this by giving them a fuel-injection of adrenaline in 28 Days Later, to George Romero's reported disdain. The undead in [Rec] aren't particularly quick on their feet. But it's no longer an issue when everyone is locked into Read more
Redford opens "festival of dissent"
- 21 Jan 2005
Veteran actor and director Robert Redford has opened the 2005 Sundance Film Festival in Utah calling for filmmakers to "speak their minds". The festival's founder said he liked to think of Sundance as a "festival of dissent" in which diverse directors and producers could put forward their views. "This is really a festival about different voices in film that really reflect, a little more accurately, the world we live in," he said. This year's festival opened with... Read more
