In 1999, a low-budget 'found footage' horror film called The Blair Witch Project became a pop culture sensation. It was hyped as one of the most frightening films ever made, and for many it lived up to that hype. But for others it was a massive disappointment - a whole load of fuss about nothing.



In this episode we examine the sharply divided response to the film and delve into the complex, fascinating details of why psychological horror works for some people, while leaving others cold.



Our guests include film critics Eddie Harrison and Lucia Minoz, and musician Kat Orr. Click the links below to enjoy more of their work.
