It's important for parents to remember that tolerance for scariness is highly individual, and, especially for teens and younger kids, highly suggestible. On another level, there is something cathartic for teenagers about seeing this graphic representation of an uncontrollable id on the loose. On one level, they provide peer bonding - you have to be friends with someone you grabbed in a moment of terror, and it's fun to have that shared experience. Teenagers have always loved scary movies. From there, they go back to town, and discover that something.or someone has come with them. There, they decide to camp for the evening, but in the morning, they realize they didn't sleep and they don't remember anything that happened the previous night.
Like some sort of cinematic Rorschach test, as we watch this movie, we are each scared by whatever lurks in our subconscious.

Groundbreaking for its time - its use of handheld cameras "found" one year after the disappearance of the filmmakers caused quite a buzz upon its initial release - the movie relies less on the outright blood, gore, and violence of so many horror movies and more on a psychological horror and tension that is slowly ratcheted up with each passing day and night of the characters' descent into the eerie terror that awaits them. Parents need to know that The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 "found-footage" horror movie in which three film students attempt to film a documentary about the strange and terrifying murders that have taken place in some woods in rural Maryland.
