Description
The Blair Witch Project: A Devil's Advocate In 1999, horror cinema was in need of a refresh. The Blair Witch Project arrived as a breath of fresh air, offering a new approach to the genre that would influence filmmakers for years to come. This book tells the story of its conception and provides an in-depth analysis of the film's innovative 'found footage' techniques. Turner explores how these techniques contributed to the film's massive success, including its pioneering internet marketing campaign. He also examines the lasting impact of The Blair Witch Project on the horror genre, including the emergence of other found footage phenomena like Paranormal Activity. Through this unique analysis, Turner sheds light on the key elements that made The Blair Witch Project a global hit, and how it continues to shape the horror landscape today.
