    Storyline
    In search of a local legend, three bold amateur documentarians--director, Heather; cameraman, Josh; sound recorder, Mike--hike into Burkittsville's gloomy Black Hills Forest to find a shadow: the fabled Blair Witch. Now, one long year later--after that fateful October of 1994--there's still no sign of the student filmmakers, apart from the raw footage they left behind. Who knows what truly happened during their creepy five-day journey into the mouth of madness? Was there, indeed, an intangible supernatural presence in the dark woods that led to the team's disappearance? Either way, the missing trio must have seen something. Could the nightmarish myth be real?

      They really did their best at promoting this as genuine found footage. This genre was pretty much nonexistent at the time, so enough people believed it that it created a sufficiently big buzz, that a lot of the nonbelievers even questioned their own cynicism. I didn't buy it, but I knew people who did. And even though I didn't believe it, nor any such ghost/witch nonsense, the realism in it's presentation did make it easier for me to suspend disbelief for the sake of immersion in the experience. It was really quite exciting at the time.

      What gave the movie momentum was the fact that the internet was just coming in to full steam by 1999 and “fake news” wasn’t even a concept - the guys that made the movie created a bunch of police files and newspaper articles that added to the realism - after all was said and done the movie cost about $500,000 and it made $250, 000,000 making it the most successful independent movie at the time; perhaps even to date.

    I was a HUGE fan of this movie. I saw it five times in the theater, then I started working at Blockbuster right as it was being released on dvd/vhs so I got the spare promo things we had. At the time I lived with my parents next to some woods and I'd tried to make a stick man but it sucked so I threw it in the woods. A few days later my little sister found it and it scared the shit out of her. 😆

    It wasn't the first "found footage" movie, but it was the first successful one.
    Fun Fact: The three leads believed the Blair Witch was a real legend during filming, though, of course, they knew the film was going to be fake. Only after the film's release did they discover that the entire mythology was made up by the film's creators.

  • @ferrisulf
    @ferrisulf 2 года назад +4

    In that final scene when she's screaming after Mike, I think it has to do with what she saw in the shirt. She KNOWS the likelihood it's not Josh. Mike didn't have that same reason for caution because he didn't know, and he was definitely desperate for it to be Josh who just got lost. What I love about this movie is that they Don't show anything. Even whatever was in the shirt. She sees it better than we do. It's much more psychological. And, as you said, the real terror in this is knowing someone is out there messing with you--it doesn't even have to be a ghost. A deranged human being stalking you in the forest is a thing terrifying in and of itself.

    Cool facts about this movie: The directors weren’t around when they were filming in the woods. The one director either invented or used GPS during golf war and that’s what they used in this movie to leave each actor a canister with directions to take the story next but they weren’t allowed to tell each other what the notes said. The actors had radios incase something happened. They barely gave them food to make it more realistic of being in the woods hungry. One of the guys working on crew did get lost but found his way out same day. They didn’t film in the same woods the whole movie...the house scene they had to move different woods and the actors had no idea they were walking up onto a house. Most of the people they interviewed in town weren’t actors.
    I was 12 years old when this movie came out and I and many people thought it was real. It was so unusual to see a movie made with these cameras plus they used the actors real names. Many people were mad when they found out it was fake but I appreciate it because I will never have that experience from a movie ever again.

    Her taking one of the voodoo stick figures was a scene that was cut unfortunately.
    The whispering you heard was children talking and laughing. Fun fact- The directors simply taped some kids at a playground, and set up boom boxes around the tent to play it, and started shaking their tent at one point to send them running in a panic.
    I THINK they actually got lost a couple of times, but, unlike the characters in the movie, the people watching from the shadows were there to help them, and not terrorize them.
    The actors knew the crew were going to be out there, and would be doing SOMETHING to freak them out, but were never told what, so their reactions were genuine.

  • @kroton09yt15
    @kroton09yt15 2 года назад +6

    I remember the hype around this movie. I was very curious so of course I went to see it, after I watched The Sixth Sense, which I had heard about and its twist ending. . So I was already a little spooked going in to watch Blair Witch.. I was doing okay until the stick figures in the tree scene. My anxiety kicked up a notch. And that wasn't a tongue that Heather found, it was teeth. 😨 yeah that freaked me out. Then the ending with Mike facing the corner...my anxiety level went to 11. 💁 this movie did do a number on me. I couldn't sleep. I had to keep my radio on at all times because I was afraid to hear voices. I wouldn't look into the corners of my room at night. I used to volunteer at a hospital and when I had to go to the pediactric floor, guess what the mural allllll along the hallway was painted with? You guessed it. Children's handprints. ✋✋✋ I practically hyperventilated. Anyway I prayed to please help me get over this fear and I would never see another horror movie. Ya know....like when you're bad hungover and promise to never drink again? Yeah, like that 😇 so...obviously I haven't kept my end of the bargain ...but I am a little more picky about what I watch! Lol...anyway....after the movie had been out for a while, that's when it was revealed how it was a fake documentary. The main characters were actors and not "real people". There was not a script. The director would give the actors slips of paper with what the scene should be and they would have to improvise the dialogue. Notice how many "F" bombs were dropped? 😊 The actors had to learn to use the cameras. It was only them 3 and the director and his friend/ assistant. They didn't have a big camera crew. They did stay in the woods and the actors were actually deprived of food and sleep. They would stay in the tent at night and the director would go shake the tent without telling them so they would freak out for real. So much creativity done with so little money. It was pretty genius. But its one of those movies that you either like or hate. When I watched it in the theatre, there was only 3 or 4 other people. After the movie was over, one of them said out loud " What was all that sh*t about?! Its not even scary!" Another person said they got motion sickness cuz of the shaky camera. Anyhoo....my personal opinion, film students should watch this, for the creativity and what you can do if you have very little money, if nothing else. 💁

    The creepiest "lurking outside the tent" stories I have heard are all Bigfoot stories, howls, hoots, and wood knocks, and the sounds of the whole camp being thrown around. But in the morning light, nothing is disturbed, maybe footprints, nothing else, usually. One story had a lost hat left in front of the tent. Sometimes there are weird lights in the woods as well. But the idea of a group of huge, aggressive humanoids lurking just beyond sight -- even just one -- and playing seemingly impossible tricks, just makes my skin crawl! You often get wood twining sculptures and rock cairns with those stories, too. Freaks me out.

      I've been in the woods alone in a tent a few times. One night (this was in the middle of nowhere) I woke up to hear a guy walking around my tent. I had a weapon, so I wasn't panicked but it was creepy as hell. After awhile he went away.....

      @@barryscott8041 The classic stories are all the same, humanoid creatures at night in the woods. Even old world stories like Beowulf's Grendel and Nordic trolls of mythology track pretty well with the bigfoot stories. I've never seen any creatures, but I had a rock thrown onto the trail in front of me once, in the deep woods, hiking. Nothing else, just a rock. Sometimes rocks fall out of nests where birds had picked them up. But this one came in across the trail, not falling, and right in front of me, where it was plain as day. Creepy. Figured I was being watched and walked back to camp.
      And walking a trail at night with somebody else, we stopped for a smoke break and were just talking, when we both smelled something that scared us. The smell made my belly drop out and my knees weak, musky animal and feces smell, and rank. We both spontaneously wanted to leave there right away and high tailed it back to camp. Didn't even talk about it until we got clear back, we were so shook.
      And out camping once, a bunch of other sites nearby cleared out at first light and I was the only one left. On the next ridge over, maybe upslope fifty yards, somebody started banging on a tree, like a freaking metronome. Bang, bang, bang, like a heartbeat. I wasn't ready to get up, and was trying to go back to sleep after hearing those others clear out. When I looked out of my tent, I could see the specific aspen quake in the canopy, like somebody doggedly chopping with the world's dullest axe. I yelled that I was trying to sleep, to cut it out, and the banging paused, but then went right back to it. Of course I got up and got breakfast and packed up. And the noise continued for, like, an hour, and kept going even when I left. Dunno. It was so steady it had to be a person, but going on and on like that, making that whole tree shake for an hour or more isn't hunan. Idk.
      The rock out of nowhere was creepy. And I've never been otherwise scared of a smell before, except the first time I smelled death. But I just felt like somebody was about their own business with the banging. It didn't occur to me until later that it was anything else. I never felt threatened, just like it was a wake up call and check out reminder, like life telling me that the peace was over and I should go. But I don't think it was just life saying that. There is something that makes me wonder, and makes this movie work so well. Could be it's a race memory conflated by circumstance, maybe. Idk. It can get weird, though. Spontaneous cairns or stick figures would freak me right out.

    I think it's a bit of a myth that this was marketed as a real doc. I was in high school and was looking forward to this for awhile. I never once got the impression from the marketing that it was real footage. That being said you have to realize that this was really the first big found footage horror and it still freaked people out. Nowadays we've seen 100 found footage movies with gore and everything else. It seems benign now but I really think it still holds up in that it creates an anticipation for something horrible and it puts the viewer in the situation so that we are listening for every noise and trying to see something in the dark.

      people believed it; sure, not everyone, but a significant number of people; they tended to be people who already believed in documentaries about "the unexplained" etc. which were a newer cultural phenomenon then, so we were collectively less cynical about them; hell, I was 18 when this movie came out and I believed in some of The X-Files stories

    Another low budget success story is Robert Rodriguez's first feature movie "El Mariachi". Spanish language movie filmed in Mexico with a cast of lesser known or amateur actors and real people. . He maxed all his credit cards and borrowed money from family to make it possible. He sent the finished product to different studios and was picked up by one who invested more money for distribution. It was shown in theatres and made a couple of million. Not too shabby!
    Because the movie did so well, Rodriguez was given a bigger budget to make a sequel and was able to hire a well known actor. Thus he made "Desperado" and then "Once upon a time in Mexico" with Antonio Banderas. 😊 I have watched Mariachi a couple of times but again, I am so intrigued how a movie can be made on the cheap. 💰

    This movie is very divisive. People either hated it or loved it.
    It was the first movie to market itself on the internet. More than a year before its release, they built this as an urban legend online. The SciFi channel even had a documentary about it. The actors were not allowed to appear in anything else for a couple of years, (it may have been just one. Can't completely remember).
    It was released at a time when Hollywood horror had become stale. They made it for something like $30,000 and made millions. It shook Hollywood up.
    Many hated it because it never had a reveal, but if you paid attention to the trailer, you would have realized there couldn't be a reveal. It's a story of three student filmmakers who disappeared and whose whereabouts are still unknown. If the movie had a reveal, then their whereabouts wouldn't be a mystery, would it?

    "Game changing"? Do you mean, "The filmmakers wanted to prove audiences will pay for a Nothing Happens At All film, and that's the game?" Well, yes... it did generate a lot of word-of-mouth, but after a few months, it was out of conversations. Take 1967's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD in an era where films stayed in theatres for weeks, months even years. NOTLD was playing in cities and towns for years, even past the arrival of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1973) so those two were double-features for a few years more. And those weren't game-changers - because Good Films survived in theaters for months and years long before those showed arrived.

Because it was just SO fucking stupid and SO fucking cheesy and SO fucking dumb... the acting was horrible, the script non-existent, the excuses they had for filming everything so incredibly hackneyed... and the thought that ANYONE actually believed it was real or was scared by it was hilarious. It wasn't even remotely scary or spooky or even interesting. Just the dumbest fucking movie I have ever seen in my life and I literally could not stop laughing.
