I was forced to tape this mock-documentary on Sky 1 and watch it later as it aired before the movie was released! I think that this is really best watched after "The Blair Witch Project", you need to see that film fresh.
The music is great, just the kind of thing we are given only at the very beginning and end of the film itself.
(WARNING SPOILER)
The "interviewees", who are actually actors, do well, not to mention the fact that they are so much more believable by the fact that the they, along with the three missing film students, are credited as real people.
(END SPOILER)
We are given an interesting insight into the story of the Blair Witch, complete with relating clips to the movie itself. While some might argue that this will destroy the power of your imagination making up the films background, I disagree. The directors write nothing in stone, and leave the door very much open for your own interpretation.
This program really is a testament to the hype machine of the blair witch project, and in the hands of the same directors, it manages to be almost as scary. Almost.
