the blair witch project

[Rosemary's Baby]

Okay guys, here I go again.
I don't know if any of you are old enough to have heard about this movie when it first came out. When it was first released, it was advertised as a true story. You didn't see the actors on the red carpet. In fact, it was released at Cannes Film Festival and they put up missing person posters for the people in the movie and were listed on IMDB as "missing, presumed dead." Second, there was no other movie out there like it. It has since been imitated (Cloverfield), but not duplicated. Now, we all know more about it & you probably watched it knowing it was fake. We didn't know. Realistically, you kinda knew they wouldn't release a movie of these people's last days. But, you weren't sure. Look at the news today. And, the producers said it was real.
Anyway, the story line is interesting. The actor's really lived it. The vast majority of the movie is improv. They truly had no clue what was going to happen to them at night. They really went without supplies until the next bag was left for them. Although there were people out in the woods with them, they never knew where.
No, not a shining example of the perfect movie. But, truly unique in the genre at the time.
