In fact, this film is perhaps one of the best examples to show the importance and weight of publicity for the receptivity and commercial success of a film: even today there are people who believe that the story told in the film is real, that the Witch really existed, that those young people really disappeared. However, the quality is evident and is intelligently associated with the advertising campaign that was put together to sell it and make it profitable. The film was a quasi-experimental production, with a very low budget, with young and unknown actors. It's not an absolutely perfect film, there are some things there that I would change, if I were the director, but they are issues of such little importance that I feel that they do not detract from any merit or quality from the finished work. Even so, I was really pleased with what I found. I was too young to be able to see this movie when it first hit theaters, but I saw it a few days ago at home, although it's obviously not the same thing. Reviewed by filipemanuelneto 10 / 10 One of the smartest and most excellently shot horror movies where what we don't see is what really makes us afraid. Could the nightmarish myth be real?-Nick Riganas
Who knows what truly happened during their creepy five-day journey into the mouth of madness? Was there, indeed, an intangible supernatural presence in the dark woods that led to the team's disappearance? Either way, the missing trio must have seen something. Now, one long year later-after that fateful October of 1994-there's still no sign of the student filmmakers, apart from the raw footage they left behind. In search of a local legend, three bold amateur documentarians-director, Heather cameraman, Josh sound recorder, Mike-hike into Burkittsville's gloomy Black Hills Forest to find a shadow: the fabled Blair Witch.
