Summary

On this Halloween episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha travel back to 1999 to revisit The Blair Witch Project, one of the most successful independent films of all time. A "found footage" pseudo-documentary and psychological horror film written, directed, and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. The film stars Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard as three students who hike into the Appalachian Mountains near Burkittsville, Maryland, to shoot a documentary about a local myth known as the Blair Witch and get so much more then they bargained for. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene and break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.
