THE MONSTER FROM THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT 2016 STILLS MOVIE
Well, like some movie monster or ghoul that escapes from its grave, the Blair Witch and accompanying film have been resurrected in this year's more simply titled "Blair Witch." Pretty much ignoring the initial follow-up, writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard have fashioned this as a direct sequel where a young man (James Allen McCune) learns from an Internet video that his sister, long believed to be dead, may, after all, somehow still be alive in some certain Maryland woods. Unfortunately, that was followed by a horrible sequel the following year - "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" - that effectively killed the series. While I found the daytime, walking and talking scenes just okay, the nighttime sequences, where more horror and terror was implied than ever shown, ended up being incredibly effective in inducing sweatiness and raising goose bumps. With lots of surprises in store for them courtesy of the filmmakers, in addition to the increasing physical strain, lack of sleep and so on, that innovative filmmaking created an intense and palpable portrayal of real fear that audiences could sense and thus experience while watching the film.

The beauty of the movie, though, was the way in which the writers/directors - Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez - put their small cast in the woods of Maryland with GPS units to get to their next location where they'd find notes for how to improvise their next scene, all while shooting the footage themselves. As was the introduction of GoPro cameras, while drones were still better known for being robots in the "Star Wars" films than unmanned aerial vehicles.Īnd thus when "The Blair Witch Project" put a number of amateur filmmakers in the woods in hopes of investigating and documenting the titular legend, they were armed with now ancient cameras, all of which added to the "found footage" aura the flick helped create. No touch-screen phones were publically available yet and cameras on phones were still a few years away. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram weren't around for sharing thoughts, photos or videos. For instance, in 1999, AOL was the king daddy of the Internet and buying most everyone, and was about to execute the ill-fated Time Warner purchase deal. OUR TAKE: 4 out of 10 In today's world where mobile tech is pretty much omnipresent anywhere you go, it's somewhat quaint to think about the status of technology years ago.
From then on, James and the others must contend with an increasing amount of scary and possibly supernatural stuff occurring to them. The six then enter the woods and set up camp for the night, only to have spooky things happen. They meet a local couple, Lane (WES ROBINSON) and Talia (VALORIE CURRY), who reportedly found and posted that new footage, and those two want to tag along in exchange for showing James where they found the tape. Accompanying him is his friend, Lisa (CALLIE HERNANDEZ), who's going to document his search his childhood friend Peter (BRANDON SCOTT) who doesn't believe anything about the legend and his girlfriend, Ashley (CORBIN REID). James is certain it's his sister and thus heads there to look for her. Now, new footage has been found including a brief glimpse of a figure in a dilapidated house in those same woods. They were never found, but their footage of scary encounters with something seemingly supernatural was. She and two other student filmmakers were there to film a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch. PLOT: Back when he was four-years-old, James (JAMES ALLEN McCUNE) had to deal with his older sister mysteriously disappearing somewhere in the Black Hills woods near Burkittsville, Maryland.
QUICK TAKE: Horror: A small group of people enter supposedly haunted woods in hopes of finding one man's sister who mysteriously disappeared years ago.
