Ranking What Was Really The Best Horror Movie Every Year 1990-2021

23. 1999: The Blair Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project Heather
Artisan Entertainment

The film that spawned an entire era of found footage terror, The Blair Witch Project uses its small budget to create a horror movie that soars with its disturbing realism and frighteningly authentic performances.

Watching this hapless group of inquisitive students as they come across an unknown threat lurking with them in the woods of Maryland is constantly overflowing with suspense, and its ambiguous nature makes it all the more creepy.

Shaky cameras, an infamous ad campaign and real sets makes The Blair Witch Project a timeless nerve-shredder, and one who's influence continues to be felt today.
