What are your opinions on the Blair Witch movie from 2016? I've been wanting to watch it for years and now finally coming around to it.I watched the original Blair Witch Project right before it.I'm currently about 30 minutes into Blair Witch and I hate everything about it. It doesn't feel like realistic found footage at all.
I was good with it until the end, then pretty disappointed. Great, same ending as all the other Blair Witch stories. And super-pissed that there was a season 2. I thought this would be a good one-off game. I was hoping for something completely different for the next Horror mystery. It just wasn't engaging enough to interest me in season 2.
Saw the original in the theater and loved it at the time so I decided to watch everything I could before watching the 2016 last week. The little made for TV 60 minute documentary The Curse of the Blair Witch (part of the marketing campaign for the original BWP) is on Tubi right now and fleshes out all of the events they talk about in the original.

I'm convinced the witch herself has no physical form. She is the bright lights that appear in the attic at the end, kind of like 'IT' whose true form is 'deadlights'. But I never figured out who the long-limbed creature is. The director confirmed it is one of the witch's victims. Personally, I think it is Rustin Parr, whose house they are in.
Liminal horror is one of the most difficult cinematic subgenres to define, partly because it has more to do with a feeling than an actual troupe or aesthetic. Any film of any genre can be liminal
It gave you an immediate connection to the characters. I loved that they elaborate on how the Forrest and how it breaks the laws of time and space. It created a whole new level to the mythology and it was really interesting. Speaking of time, the paradoxical footage realization was really cool. 1999 Blair Witch Project. In the 1999 film the Blair witch project I feel like the townspeople themself are the ones doing the killings. I do not mean the ones in the beginning of the film who seem more incapable of murder like the older gentle man and women holding a child, I am talking more about the two fisherman or more so the people that The new Blair Witch does a great job of linking the existing franchise together, even incorporating elements of Book of Shadows with the Rustin Parr tree and the house foundations etc. Whilst the latest movie makes this time warp explicit, it's been alluded to from the initial doc, the existing movies and the game (see Heather and Mike in the I watch Blair Witch about once a year as a little October ritual. I think it captures what other found footage horror flicks struggle to: victims that we are genuinely terrified for, and a threat that remains serious. The latter is gained by keeping to a horror truism: don’t show the face of the devil. .
