Summary
La 4e de couv. porte : "Few films of any genre 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 tongue-in-cheek intertextuality, a bare bones 'found footage' trend setter. In this Devil's Advocate, Peter Turner tells the story of the film from his conception then provides a unique analysis of the mockumentary film-making techniques used, its appeal to audiences and the themes that helped make the film such an international hit (more than 140 million dollars at the box office in the US alone), including the pionering internet marketing campaign. The book also explores the film's lasting impact on the horror genre, with the subsequent appearance of other found footage phenomena such as the Paranormal Activity series."
