13 Days of Horror: "The Blair Witch Project"

The 13 Days of Horror Film Festival is here to put you on the edge of your seat and fill you with terror.

ID required. Ages 17+

In search of a local legend, three bold amateur documentarians — -director Heather, cameraman Josh and sound recorder Mike — hike into Burkittsville's gloomy Black Hills Forest to find a shadow: the fabled Blair Witch. Now, one long year later — after that fateful October of 1994, there's still no sign of the student filmmakers, apart from the raw footage they left behind. Who knows what truly happened during their creepy five-day journey into the mouth of madness? Was there, indeed, an intangible supernatural presence in the dark woods that led to the team's disappearance? Either way, the missing trio must have seen something. Could the nightmarish myth be real?

1999, R, 1h 21min
