Shoestring cinema: Groundbreaking budget greats
'The Blair Witch Project' (1999)
Budget: $22,000
Gross: $249,000,000
The definitive handheld horror ingeniously disguised itself as a 'true' documentary for that added slice of realism. Cue plenty of cheap interviews with 'witnesses' and lots of running around in the woods. The film was so successful it was estimated that it made over $10,000 for every dollar of its budget.
