Glad I held off on commenting on how weird it is nobody got a career off this until you guys got to it yourselves

Agree it's not a movie for the sake of entertainment, but a moment in time. I was probably the ideal audience member: in my 20s with access to the Internet, and my friend found the prototype site on haxan.com so it seemed even more authentic, and finally I saw it as a bootleg on two CD-Rs which we piped to a TV from a computer. It was glorious. I was sure it was not real, but only 99% sure, and I enjoyed dabbling in that 1% chance and embracing the experience. The "Blair Witch experience" so-to-speak definitely demonstrated the allure of conspiracy theory.
