The year before The Blair Witch Project stunned audiences by popularising found footage, directors Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler released their own similar stab at the genre, a mockumentary that investigates the savage murder of a TV crew who were in New Jersey's Pine Barrens hunting down the mythic Jersey Devil.
Like the very best entries into this horror subgenre, Avalos and Weiler's film is spectacularly believable for the most part, truly feeling like the sort of low-budget docu-project that would nowadays end up on, fittingly enough, YouTube.
