About the Blair Witch saga
'The Blair Witch Project' (1999) changed horror cinema. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez shot, for very little money, the story of three film students who get lost in a Maryland forest while looking for a local legend, and presented it as real footage found after their disappearance.
With a pioneering internet campaign that made many believe the events were real, 'The Blair Witch Project' became one of the biggest hits in independent cinema and popularised the found-footage genre later taken up by '[REC]' and 'Paranormal Activity'.
The sequel, 'Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2' (2000), directed by documentary maker Joe Berlinger, dropped the handheld format. Adam Wingard went back to it with 'Blair Witch' (2016), shot in secret under another title and released as a direct follow-up to the original, with the brother of one of the missing students returning to the woods.
