In the realm of cinema, few genres have captivated audiences and filmmakers alike quite like found footage. Emerging from the shadows of traditional filmmaking, found footage films offer a unique and immersive experience by presenting stories as though they were real, captured by characters within the narrative.
At the heart of this genre lies 'The Blair Witch Project,' a groundbreaking film that not only redefined horror but also sparked a revolution in moviemaking.
Released in 1999, 'The Blair Witch Project' directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, revolutionized the horror genre with its innovative approach. Shot on a shoestring budget of $60,000, the film utilized handheld cameras and improvised dialogue to create a sense of realism rarely seen before.
