For the past few years in October, I've pulled out the horror films I have accumulated over the years and watch them in an informal festival of sorts.

I have decided to post the films I watch this year on the forum and say a small passage on the film.

Even though October technically starts tommorow, I plan to start my festival tonight with the following film:

The Blair Witch Project (1999)
This film was quite the phenomenon when it opened. Whether it's worth the hype is a matter of opinion.
Spoiler Below

For the most part, it's a film about people lost in the woods. You do not ever see anything on camera and the scary seens are limited to noises at night.

However, what makes this film memorable to me is the ending. Those final minutes of the two remaining filmmakers frantically trying to locate their missing colleague in a cabin is truly suspensful (made more disorienting by the fact that the sound is coming from only one of the two cameras). Also, then their's that final shot, which was alluded to in the beginning of the movie. By the time you realize what the shot means, it's too late and the movie's over.

Because of school, my schedule for watching the films will be irregular. Hopefully my next film will be on Tuesday. In the meantime, feel free to talk about the Blair Witch Project.
