Additionally, it launched the reality TV phase and this is according to the creator of Survivor (which launched the reality TV show phase). As well as the hugely popular "Found Footage" sub-genre. Furthermore, it had a brilliant marketing campaign and was one of the first films to launch a website. If it had not been on this list I would have been completely shocked.

I get what you're saying but how a movie was made and what it did for the genre afterwards doesnt matter to me at least to how good of a film it is. In my opinion Blair Witch only did as well as it did because of an excellent marketing plan. But that's just my opinion
