![]() The two guys who directed The Blair Witch Project have done very little since. For such a seminal and influential film its disappointing that they haven't gone onto more prominence. One of them went on to create the Raw Feed horror production company (decent quality low budget direct to dvd movies) and the other went on to direct Altered. Its a small movie but its a good one. It takes the old alien abduction story and turns it into an original and effective little horror movie. A group of friends have spent the last 15 years hunting aliens in the woods after they were abducted and their friend was killed. They capture one and hold it captive in their garage. The whole movie takes place in the one place as the alien controls minds and spreads infection while the men argue and assume the upper hand. It surprised me and I found it to be a pretty clever flick. I reckon it would make for a really cool stage show. It's slightly quirky and the make-up fx are excellent (gross too). If you see it around, check it out. It might surprise you... the finale is conceptually very cool but isn't executed all that well... all the same, a nice little spin on alien abduction.
