Blair Witch director Daniel Myrick comments to EW about Paranormal Activity: "It's encouraging to see another film come out that's in the spirit of the Blair Witch aesthetic. And the marketing approach that's doing so well reaffirms in my mind that you don't need to spend a ton of money to have a successful film." ... "Yeah. I liked it. There are things I definitely would have done differently, 'cause that's just me the filmmaker speaking, but I try to look at it objectively, not as the Blair guy. I thought it had some great scares in it. I got to see it with an audience at a private screening, and the audience reaction was great."
