25. The Blair Witch Project, 1999
Long long looooong ago, I started watching this movie and it bored the shit out of me, and now that I forced myself to re-watch it, it still bored me a loooot.
Maybe I’m all Dwight Schrute or Bear Grillis or shit, but I have always thought if I was in that situation I coulda get the hell out of there the first day, second day tops. I hate camping so I would be pretty quick in trying to get back to the city. On that note, the setting is great, and I like the fact that the dudes where not famous at the time of it’s release.
It wasn’t the first POV found footage/documentary style movie, but it was the one that put the sub-genre on the mainstream. If you don’t get dizzy to easily, enjoy home made videos and people screaming in the woods, give it a watch.
P.S. The three actors believed the Blair Witch was a real legend during filming, though of course they knew the film was going to be fake. Only after the film’s release did they discover that the entire mythology was made up by the film’s creators.
