I can honestly say this is one of my favorite movies I've seen. I actually teared up almost the whole movie and thats not normally my reaction to movies! Nothing boring about the movie, certainly would recommend watching it!
Heather Donahue, Michael Williams, Joshua Leonard. A spooky documentary leads to unimaginable terror for three film students lost in the Maryland woods. This innovative and highly acclaimed horror film set a new standard for cinematic chills! 1999/color-b&w/87 min/R/fullscreen.

I enjoyed the story line of the movie but the hardest part trying to keep my attention is the way the movie is shot. Hard to enjoy when you dont get to see much of what is happening. If you are able to look past that, the movie is great. Had me feeling anxious as to what would happen the whole time!
