It redefined a genre and sent shockwaves through cinemas worldwide and instantly went onto my favourite films of all time list and now, 25 years on from its original release, horror phenomenon The Blair Witch Project, the seminal film that put found footage firmly on the map, returns with a meticulously crafted Limited Edition Blu-ray Box set from horror aficionados Second Sight Films.
