The Blair Witch Project centers around three young filmmakers who, while filming a documentary in a small town called Burkittsville on the local urban legend of the Blair Witch, are lost in the woods. The movie depicts their fear heightening and is infamous for its camera style and ending.

The movie is also known for its marketing campaign, which was one of the first films that was marketed at the Internet generation. The actors, who were unknown at the time, were pronounced dead online. The movie was presented as reality, stating that the footage was found and released theatrically with no editing. This hook pulled a lot of people into the theaters, making The Blair Witch Project incredibly successful financially.
