#How long are the blair witch project 2016 movie
The sequel hook is that in this film, James ( James Allen McCune) is the younger sibling of Heather Donahue - one of the trio that went missing in the first movie - and he incredibly believes that she may somehow still be alive (!!!) and organizes a group to go and try to find her.
This version of the story comes from genre darling filmmakers Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (“ You’re Next” and “ The Guest“) but lacks the usual flair or originality that I’ve come to expect from them.Īlthough the film does reference its predecessor, “Blair Witch” really does feel like a remake that does the same thing as the first movie, only with updated technology (smaller cameras, a drone, GPS locators, etc.) that, while cool, does really nothing to measurably advance the story. Which is apparently why some folks thought a sequel, set 15 years later, would be a good idea. It’s still by far one of the scariest sequences ever committed to film, and for that reason the movie stays in our collective consciousness. Through the haze of memory, most people don’t remember that “The Blair Witch Project” was 85% repetitive and sort of boring, with the only real scares coming at the climax, with that end scene. It’s still respected as one of the top horror films of all time, and for good reason: many people remember it fondly for having scared the wits out of them when they first saw the film, and its found-footage style has inspired scads of imitators.
“ The Blair Witch Project” took the world by storm in 1999.
It’s not exactly bad, but it’s also hard to understand why the people involved with making it felt that it was worth doing. “Blair Witch” is yet another unnecessary “requel” that neither improves on its predecessor or presents any meaningful justification for its existence.
