The film marked the third sequel in a lucrative horror franchise that first began with the spectacular success of 1999’s The Blair Witch Project by Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick.
Simply entitled Blair Witch, the film comes out in theaters this Friday, but I was able to attended a press screening last night. The mystery behind 2016’s Blair Witch ending will never be revealed, says its director, Adam Wingard.
#THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT 2016 RELEASE DATE MOVIE#
Hence when filmmakers spread a viral campaign that insisted that the movie was actually recovered documentary footage and that the filmmakers/actors were lost and maybe dead, people really believed it! Fast forward 17 years and one of the kings of mumblegore, Adam Wingard, revealed at this summer’s SDCC that his upcoming found-footage film The Woods was actually a sequel to The Blair Witch Project. It’s hard to remember a time before the Internet was the biggest thing in Earth, but in 1999 the phrase “going viral” still referred to diseases. Made on a miniscule $60,000 budget, the film grossed over $140 million and finished 10th in the 1999 box office standings. While “found footage” films existed before 1999, that year’s surprise smash hit The Blair Witch Project turned a little-used subgenre of horror into the next big thing. When John Carpenter’s Halloween debuted and shattered box offices in 1978 it started a decade-long slasher craze. Horror is a genre that exists to be mimicked and imitated. Very good movie, although I can agree with people why they don't really like it.Cast: James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Valorie Curry, Brandon Scott This movie is one of my favorite horror movies, and I see it every year at Halloween. I've seen many other 'camcorder' effect movies like Cloverfield but The Blair Witch Project was for me the best one. The Blair Witch Project has the 'camcorder' effect which I really like in movies, makes it more scary, in my opinion. in all of these movies the 'creatures' are shown though I didn't find it scary at all. I've seen many more horror movies like Evil Dead (all of them), Paranormal Activity, 28 Days Later, The Descent, 1408, The Exorcist. Just because you can't see the 'creature' you don't know if it's really there or not, that's what makes this movie so original and realistic. I've seen many more horror movies like Evil Dead (all of them), Paranormal Although many people didn't find it scary, I though it was really scary. … ExpandĪlthough many people didn't find it scary, I though it was really scary. Outside of those people who can't stand student film to begin with or can't appreciate something filmed with shaky cameras (something most people get used to in a matter of minutes, and something that is a huge part of modern news reporting), nothing can draw an audience in quite like this movie. Minimalism is the name of the game, hiding or only showing a little of any scene - only what was caught on the characters' cameras. By shooting this movie over six straight days and camping in the woods, these college-level actors access real fatigue and real emotion that blows away Hollywood performances because even though their premise is every bit as fictional as a blockbuster, their feelings are real. This movie was put together from amateur footage and relates the story of three student filmmakers (Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Instead of a soundtrack, this movie has whatever the microphones picked up in the woods - much scarier than a bunch of licensed music or orchestral tones. The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American independent supernatural horror movie.It was written and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez and produced by the Haxan Films production company. It's shot in a real environment, not a sterile set or against a CGI backdrop its actors improvise their dialogue rather than read from scripts the lighting is completely natural, and all the sounds are ambient. This is the effect of great atmosphere, and the Blair Witch Project has it. Watching it on DVD in my house, I still felt as though someone might be watching me from down the hall. Every financially I watched this movie for the thirteenth time last night, and was still creeped right out.
