Why The Blair Witch Project Is Scariest in Daylight

Ask most people what The Blair Witch Project’s about, and you’ll get some variation on “a group of student filmmakers become lost in the woods and get hunted by a witch.” But The Blair Witch Project isn’t a movie about a witch stalking three filmmakers who are lost in the woods; it’s about three filmmakers who are lost in the woods and losing their minds. IGN's Tom Jorgensen explains how once you start to focus on that fact, The Blair Witch Project is really at its scariest in the bright light of day, even now, 25 years after it was released.
