60 of 321 · most liked first25 years after its release, our little movie, 'The Blair Witch Project,' is FINALLY being released on home video, as we always intended. Here are the details for those who are curious.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Blair Witch Project is an incredible movie that no equivalent effort has touched. The three people who made it what it is were screwed out of the money and recognition, and it was non-union, so basically no recourse. It's a bad memory for them. That's how it is on this bitch of an earth.
positive · AI labelView post →The Blair Witch Project is real. The movie is real. It really happened.
neutral · AI labelView post →You can tell The Blair Witch Project wasn’t really found footage or the whole film would be in portrait and have a thumb in it.
negative · AI labelView post →Seeing The Blair Witch Project at a theater near my high school with an almost entirely black audience of teenagers roasting it was the funniest comedy movie experience of my entire life.
positive · AI labelView post →A lot of talk about the best 1999 movie but the *most* 1999 movie is THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT partially because it has one of these halogen floor lamps in literally the first shot of the movie
positive · AI labelView post →A similar situation happened with the people who did The Blair Witch Project. A revolutionary movie that made money hand over fist that the people who put the work in for barely saw a fraction of
neutral · AI labelView post →No, it is. There really was a movie called the Blair Witch Project.
neutral · AI labelView post →it just feels impossible to ignore the effect that the internet had on “millennial culture,” especially the way it upended traditional marketing, distribution, engagement patterns, etc. the “first millennial movie” might be like, the Blair Witch Project
neutral · AI labelView post →On this day in Horror History, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 1999.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, just Heather Donahue, the soul of my all-time favorite horror movie, The Blair Witch Project, holding my novel. This book about the joy and darkness of fandom, a book about my heart, a book born partly in that Burkittsville wilderness. There's a reason it names Heather, Mike, and Josh on p. 41.

negative · AI labelView post →NPR is airing a piece on The Blair Witch Project (1999) and why it was such a successful film and how all my friends wanted to go into the woods after seeing it and at least it got us outside lol
neutral · AI labelView post →THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT is getting a brand new VHS release from Lionsgate Limited on October 13. The VHS release features the filmmaker-approved 2024 restored theatrical cut from the original Hi8 videotapes and 16mm film elements, available in the U.S. for the first time!
neutral · AI labelView post →People were so dismissive of The Blair Witch Project and I think when it came out people felt they were duped but it's a really remarkable movie watching it now. I'm very interested in the sequel though everyone says it sucks.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s film for @momoshaty.bsky.social & me is the restored THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! Finally rescued from its brown, artificially grainy original transfer, and fully rebuilt from original 16mm & Hi8 elements.

Guerrilla ad campaign used websites & online message boards convincing many viewers that story was real! Low-budget indie became worldwide phenomenon. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →From the creators of The Blair Witch Project, found footage movie THE INFLUENCER PROJECT releases October 2 in theaters. Influencer Chiara King travels with a documentary crew. But as the cameras and her devoted fans follow her every move, someone else is watching too.
neutral · AI labelView post →5. I think the book collecting all of the faux evidence that was disseminated by the Blair Witch Project folks to juice up prospective audiences is a stronger piece of horror than is the movie itself.
neutral · AI labelView post →I mostly want to retweet this because me and my 40+ friends just watched THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT last night knowing it's just a movie and it totally holds up for independent cinema.
positive · AI labelView post →Like whenever I bring up The Blair Witch Project, I get replies insisting that there was mass frenzy about the "missing" filmmakers and it spread because there was "no internet" (Despite the fictionalized found footage angle being openly discussed in every TV and print review of the film.)

neutral · AI labelView post →The creators of The Blair Witch Project join forces with the creator of Scare Tactics for EXPERIMENT 11. The film is set inside a medical research facility where a group of participants are forced into an experiment with consequences tied to the future of humanity.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Blair Witch Project tonight (rewatch for me, my wife’s first time) and it’s so crazy that movie came out in 1999. It feels much more modern than that, both in the found footage aspect and the digital cinema aspect. Cool movie!
positive · AI labelView post →My version of the Criterion Closet was interning at Troma in 1999. I brought home a lesbian softcore film starring Lynn Lowry and Mary Woronov, an unlabeled copy of The Blair Witch Project given to Lloyd pre-release by the directors, Bloodsucking Freaks, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, and an anxiety disorder.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Blair Witch Project. "Why are people raving about this film so much? Those kids were such SHITTY CAMPERS" lol
negative · AI labelView post →11. The Blair Witch Project Growing up in the 90's was watching a thousand parodies of this scene and then actually watching the movie and seeing one of the most heart wrenching depictions of a person who truly believes they've gotten themselves and their friends killed ever put to film

Did you know THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT had an actual physical release soundtrack that came out when it did? It's supposed to be the tape Josh is listening to and I've always been so fascinated by its existence

neutral · AI labelView post →Analog Horror - Found Footage. Analog horror can be seen as a descendant of creepypasta and found footage films. It draws inspiration from earlier works like The Blair Witch Project and The Ring, which utilized similar themes of manipulated media and unsettling narratives. The genre gained traction with the success of Local 58, No Through Road, and Gemini Home Entertainment. It is characterized by its use of low-fidelity visuals, cryptic messages, and a nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of late…

positive · AI labelView post →1999 was the year that inspired my whole deal basically. Eyes Wide Shut, The Blair Witch Project, and The Sixth Sense got me thinking about gaps in horror film scholarship, which led to the first monumental horror-image essay, which led to pretty much all the rest of it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I find it fascinating that the myth that everyone was taken in by THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT in 1999, considering it was only twenty-five years ago. The film debuted on the festival circuit in January and received wide release in late July. By that time, the truth was common knowledge.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's Halloween movie. Yep The Blair Witch Project. Just pure stupid but hey it's on the Halloween movie list and it started found footage films lol #filmsky #theblairwitchproject
negative · AI labelView post →You can tell The Blair Witch Project wasn’t really found footage or the whole film would be in portrait and have a thumb in it.
negative · AI labelView post →To film THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, the directors sent the three actors into the woods alone with cameras, feeding them dwindling food and staging scares at night. Much of their fear and exhaustion on screen is real. Follow us for more behind-the-scenes facts.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you even remotely enjoyed the Blair Witch Project I urge you to read about Rei Hance's journey. She gave us one of the most iconic film performances of her generation + she suffered immeasurably. Her story is one of grace + perseverence + she deserves better reihance.wordpress.com/rei-hance-2/...
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like movie marketers spent a decade-plus trying to duplicate the marketing around THE MATRIX and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and then just gave up because no one could get close. Hell of a year for genre movies, man

neutral · AI labelView post →Can’t pick a favourite but I love the fact that the cast of the Blair Witch Project signed a contract that said they couldn’t make any public appearances for six months after the film came out to maintain the illusion they were dead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just published, here's an interview I did a couple of weeks ago with the directors of 'The Blair Witch Project', on how the film evolved as it was being made and why they have some sympathy for the actors who were told to fake their disappearance.

neutral · AI labelView post →Kind of amused that the Blair Witch Project restoration, bringing the film back to the way it was originally supposed to look, kicks off with a modern Lionsgate logo instead of the appropriate Artisan's.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today on Soundtracker I kick off Halloween with one of the series true oddities. Did you know that THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, a movie famously devoid of music, has a soundtrack album with Bauhaus and others? Well, it does, and I talked about it with 2 time Bram Stoker winner Robert P. Ottone. Links 👇🏼
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently this found footage film actually predates the Blair Witch Project so & was made on $900 so I guess I gotta watch it

I was delighted to join top cultural luminaries on the 1st podcast from So Disappointed, looking at artworks whic left us feeling deeply inimpressed. This episode is about The Blair Witch Project; congrats to Paul and Wendy for a great listen! audioboom.com/posts/875302...
neutral · AI labelView post →6. The Blair Witch Project is a perfect horror movie.
positive · AI labelView post →A proper release of Jaganrei Psychic Vision! The 49-minute 1988 “search-the-frame” “ghost-in-the-background” found footage J-Horror with dance horror elements! This film prefigured Ghostwatch, The Blair Witch Project and more or less all other J-Horror (so far as I’m aware). Truly we are blessed.
