The Blair Witch Project. My cousin told me it was actual found footage, which was a terrifying thought for 10 year old me.
That was the whole point. They even made the actors stay out of public view for a year, handing out flyers at Sundance that they were "missing, presumed dead". There were fake police interviews on the film's website and everything. This was the first time anything like this had been done so I can imagine people were really invested in this movie and thought it was real.
Whoa TIL! I thought my cousin was just messing with me, but the chance that all this time she may have also been sold on the idea makes me feel better.
