Positioning the spectator and identification -- Fear of the dark : Witches, women, and the woods -- Marketing, reception and legacy.Few films have had the influence and impact of The Blair Witch Project (1999). Its arrival was a horror cinema palette cleanser after a decade of serial killers and postmodern intertextuality, a bare bones 'found footage' trend setter. In this Devil's Advocate, Peter Turner tells the story of the film from its conception and production then provides a unique analysis of the techniques used, their appeal to audiences and the themes that helped make the film such an international hit, including the pioneering internet marketing.Devil's advocates.Liverpool scholarship online.Horror filmsUnited StatesHorror films791.4372Turner Peter(Lecturer in film and media studies),368221StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910829897303321The Blair Witch project4094869UNINA
