As imitated as it may be, no film has yet to recapture lightning in a bottle like The Blair Witch Project did. It builds in intensity with such focus, it's almost absurd how drawn into these characters' misadventure we become. A repeat viewing really gives you a sense of how well the timeline is drawn. The long days are just journeys into disquieting evenings where the sun will set too soon. Each time night falls, your heart is in your throat. There's such a leanness to it all that the film could go on for a full fifteen or twenty minutes longer and only add more scares.
