One of several truly genius ideas behind Blair Witch is that
filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez made the audience
believe that the film they were watching was nothing more than the unearthed footage left behind by three disappeared
young people.
Perhaps the
filmmakers believe that, since it's aimed at a relatively
young crowd (witness the «soft» PG - 13 rating), they don't have to worry overmuch about things like a well - crafted story.
