Found video footage tells the tale of three film students (Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, Michael C. Williams) who've traveled to a small town to collect documentary footage about the Blair Witch, a legendary local murderer. Over the course of several days, the students interview townspeople and gather clues to support the tale's veracity. But the project takes a frightening turn when the students lose their way in the woods and begin hearing horrific noises.

A pioneer of shaky-cam found-footage filmmaking and viral guerrilla marketing, The Blair Witch Project was shot in eight days for $60,000 but went on to gross almost $250 million world-wide.
