Review of The Blair Witch Project

I saw this movie 22 years after its release. For me, this looked like an amateur's attempt to do a movie. Although this is regarded as a horror movie, it did not give me any scares. Most of movie is made up of characters getting lost in a forest, arguing with each other and wandering helplessly. People have done excellent movies with a minimal budget. Only reason I can think of why this created a sensation back when it came out is the then novel concept of found footage.
