Some of you may not know this movie. It was a little indie film that ended up making a lot of movie. It opened the way for the potential of amateur films to gross a lot of money. Blair Witch project was a success because of the marketing strategy. They confused reality and made it seem like it was a documentary. The films footage was made to look like the lost footage of three film makers out to find the Blair Witch. The movie caused a stir because of the rough camera work. People were throwing up in theaters. I think Cloverfield was able to make money because of Blair Witch. It uses similar tactics and similar film making styles. Both films were pieces of shit. But, i guess pieces of shits make money in Hollywood.
