All this talk about Blair Witch Project...
If you want to see a movie with a similar backstory, in a somewhat similar vein and style, see The Last Broadcast.
I incidentally caught it on Bravo or IFC one day, and it was really impresive.
I would actually suggest that some of it's concepts (in a filmmaking sense) might apply to the topic of our current interest.

Blair Witch seems to come up a lot in connection with ARGs. The original site for the film isn't up, but a version of it is

Blair Witch .

The promo for that film was entirely TINAM (TM haxanmike , I think) - this is not a movie- in that none of the actors were acknowledged to be actors, the promos all treated it as real, etc. I remember my niece insisting that it actually happened, because all the evidence available pointed to it being real. She wasn't the only one who felt that way at the time.

Yeah, I remember seeing the documentary they made for that film on tv, they passed it off as a legit documentary. I thought it was real too.

"What if this winds up like the Blair Witch? "

Um, well, I'll have to leave, because that movie gave me motion sickness something fierce; I spent 80% of the Blair Witch staring at the Exit sign to keep me from getting nauseous.

I'm glad I wasn't the only who got motion sickness! I sat in the second row and was on the verge of vomiting by the end.

Yeah, being scared out of my pants while attempting not to blow chunks... quite the event. One of the few movies ever to really give me a chill. It's likely because they left it entirely up to your imagination; and I suppose the more demons you have... the scarier it was.

I do think that the whole movie will be viewed entirely from the handicam perspective. Everything seen in the movie is someone shooting it on a handheld.

The main difference here is that unlike the Blair Witch, you do not see it as you normaly would from some average camcorder. The movie is actually shot like other movies with normal frames but... it is the "perspective" of the handicam. Not actually handicam footage, but proffesionaly filmed shots made for and from that perspective only..

I hope that makes sense. sounds kind of confusing after reading this over once. Shocked
