Lest you dismiss the movie as a whole lot of mindless running around, we reassure you that there is a surprisingly well-constructed story amidst the melee, which ties in seamlessly with the original while establishing a clearer order to the hauntings. To reveal any further details would be spoiling the thrill of not knowing what to expect, but letвЂ™s just say that there is a nice midway twist that divides the group into two camps and leaves each more vulnerable to the hauntings later on. But Lane only agrees to show James where the video was found on one condition вЂ“ that they bring him and his girlfriend Talia (Valorie Curry) along for the hike, which James eventually acquiesces to despite PeterвЂ™s objections. Their first stop is the home of вЂDarknet 666вЂ™, aka Lane (Wes Robinson), who had uploaded the video and having grown up in these part of the woods, Lane shares stories of the Blair Witch legend, including one where a father of seven children in the 1940s kills his whole family after claiming to have heard her voice and another where a mother says a hand reached out from under the river in the woods to pull her daughter in. Joining James on his quest to locate his sister are his filmmaker girlfriend Lisa (Callie Hernandez), his best friend Peter (Brandon Scott) and PeterвЂ™s girlfriend Ashley (Corbin Reid).

Rather than going for the convenient of assembling yet another bunch of foolhardy adventurers to go back into the forest, Wingard chooses to establish a much emotional (and logical) raison d'ГЄtre for flirting with danger вЂ“ an online video of the house which was last seen in вЂThe Blair Witch ProjectвЂ™, and a fleeting glimpse of a figure which James (James Allen McCune) believes to be that of her missing sister Heather Donahue, one of the three student filmmakers who went missing two decades ago. It would seem folly therefore for any filmmaker to attempt a sequel, let alone reboot, the original and yet, despite our initial skepticism, we were quickly won over by director Adam Wingard and his regular writing collaborator Simon BarrettвЂ™s tense, gripping and even nail-biting follow-up that stays true to its predecessor while expanding on the mythology of the Blair Witch. That it eventually achieved a lifetime box-office gross of US$250 million made copycats inevitable, but no other horror film since then вЂ“ aside from the first вЂParanormal ActivityвЂ™ вЂ“ has been able to replicate its formula to the same winning effect.

Made on a micro-budget of US$60,000, it complemented its then-novel found-footage format with clever marketing which positioned the film we would see as вЂrecovered footageвЂ™ shot by the three student filmmakers who had gone missing in the Black Hills Forest of Burkittsville, Maryland while making a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch. Love it or hate it, thereвЂ™s no denying that вЂThe Blair Witch ProjectвЂ™ was a landmark film for the horror genre in terms of technique and marketing. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined. But as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals Lane and Talia offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods.

James and his friends Peter, Ashley and film student Lisa venture into the same woods each with a camera to uncover the mysteries surrounding their disappearance. Synopsis:В ItвЂ™s been 20 years since JamesвЂ™s sister and her two friends vanished into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland while researching the legend of the Blair Witch, leaving a trail of theories and suspicions in their wake.
