Tony and Trisha take a look back at the first big mainstream found footage movie, The Blair Witch Project! In this movie review/podcast they will break down all the ways the film is still horrifying like how it leaves the creature to your imagination, how it uses sound to get under your skin, and how it blurred the lines between reality and fiction for audiences.
We even found some footage of our own! A tape featuring Mint Salad and Riley was discovered in the woods! What happened to them?
Found video footage tells the tale of three film students (Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, Michael C. Williams) who've traveled to a small town to collect documentary footage about the Blair Witch, a legendary local murderer. Over the course of several days, the students interview townspeople and gather clues to support the tale's veracity. But the project takes a frightening turn when the students lose their way in the woods and begin hearing horrific noises.
