Hot ticket of the festival was undoubtably for The Blair Witch Project. People started queing at 7.30am for any returns -- all three screens at the Cameo were completely filled. The crowds at the venue looked more like those for a rock concert, not a low-budget movie.

You could feel the anticipation in the air as Lizzie Francke finished her introduction and the lights dimmed. For most of the film, the audience sat in complete silence. A combination of shaky camerawork, and excessive pre-film alcohol sent a number diving for the toilets. At the end, everyone was just rather stunned. To top it all, people exited through a foyer filled with smoke, dim blue lighting and litle wooden stick men hanging up everywhere. Guess that's what you call an atmospheric end to a film.
