The Blair Witch Project (1999) | Ep. 46 - Part 1
The marketing was so convincing that some audiences genuinely believed the footage was real and the actors were dead. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the found-footage phenomenon.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, the cast, and the second act — including the largely improvised dialogue, the actors left to fend for themselves in the woods, and the dread building from almost nothing.
The night in the woods gets much worse from here. Part 2 goes in: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
