The Blair Witch Project
The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American supernatural horror film written, directed and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez.

The three disappear, but their equipment and footage are discovered a year later. The purportedly recovered footage is the film the viewer sees. The film is credited with reviving the found-footage technique which was later used by similarly successful horror films such as Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield.
