The Blair Witch Project

The Haxan Films Production Company produced The Blair Witch Project and it was the company's main success. The company is most famous for producing this independent film. The company also produced Fox TV series FreakyLinks; the company wanted to promote the film using an amateurish website to try to get the same feel as The Blair Witch Project, however once the show was aired, it was not a success. Other films they produced such as 'Altered' got mixed reviews, with some critics saying that is was 'half interesting and semi-creepy,' whilst others said 'good old fashioned effects mixed with wicked gore.' The most notable success was The Blair Witch Project due to the captivating realism that was captured before, during and after the release of the film; the official website for the film featured fake police reports and information with missing students.
