What really sets XIII apart from other found footage entries is the fact that there are only two people we need to follow (unlike The Taking of Deborah Logan, for example), and they barely even get separated. I personally enjoyed their back-and-forth banter because it reminded me of when my friends and I used to go on similarly strange adventures for the heck of it.
What’s more, Archie and Nathan are actually friends, whereas in The Blair Witch Project, Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard are just classmates. When they slowly come to the realization that something more sinister is at play, the back and forth “seriously, dude, are you messing with me?” lines felt genuine. Since they went into their entire project thinking it was just a joke, there’s literally nothing at stake until external forces cause them to have a change of heart and think otherwise.
