    I'm in the USA, and have a region A, 4k player. The Panasonic ub820. Both disc work. When inserting the disc, it goes the a blank player menu, all you do is hit the "top menu" on the remote and takes you right to the DVD menu and everything plays perfect. Just wanted to share this.

    Not only is the hi8 footage cleaned up but it’s a pure source, all prior home video releases were sourced from the 35 blow up converted back to video which added unnecessary film grain and murkiness. This is hands down the cleanest presentation on Blair Witch I’ve ever seen sourced from the original materials.

    • @KRAFTWERK2K6
      @KRAFTWERK2K6 3 часа назад

      Actually that video to film conversion is exactly what i liked about it. Same with Thomas Vinterberg's "Festen - Dogme #1" which looks amazing like that and way nicer than it would have looked as raw DV version with interlaced 50i picture. The only thing they did with the Video8 footage of Blair witch (it was regular Video 8 actually and not Hi8) was making it look aged before it was transfering it to 35mm. Normally it would have looked way better.

  • @DapperManDan
    @DapperManDan 2 дня назад +2

    I saw this movie before the big reveal of it and in those early days of the screenings it was a big thing to discuss whether it was real or not just because the marketing was done so well to make it seem like it was. And it really was one of the first big virally marketed films.... even its IMDB credits listed the cast as still missing or something like that for the longest time after its release. There were countless websites devoted to the Blair Witch mythos that did not seem to tie into the movie at all, so that added to the possibility of it being real also. I worked at a movie theatre at the time and the hype was crazy.

    Great review and super happy it's a solid release. Only disagreement I have is the comment on the art cards. I enjoy art cards as long as it's great art that's not found elsewhere in the release. I imagine it only adds nickels and dimes to the cost anyway. But I'll always vote for more not less art.

    Yeah this movie hit different when I was 12 when this released, this movie creeped me the F out, I originally thought it was real, the one time you can see the witch floating in the air when they are running through the woods, haunted me for a while. I loved this movie when I was young.

    I hope Studio Canal / Arthaus brings this version to Germany. Because i kinda don't wanna import it since that gets quite expensive.

    I saw this about two weeks into its theatrical run and my friends were oh-so diligent on not spilling the beans on what happens. It was pretty enveloping and left me a bit rattled at the end. I remember getting up to leave after the house lights went up and seeing a priest sitting in one of the back rows. No joke. I'm happy this disc is a home run.

    When you buy and install/format the PS5 Disc drive add on, you can assign the region to A,B or C.

    Dude, I remember the website back then. It was all made up to make us believe these people were really missing, and the footage that was found was the actual footage of what happened in the woods. A found footage movie was new back then. We all believed it. When my buddy and I went to the theater, we thought we were watching a real recording released to the cinema. I remember when the movie was over, the theater was quiet. Everybody was all fucked up lol.

  • @jamesupton5601
    @jamesupton5601 2 дня назад +1

    I saw it in an empty cinema when it came out. The atmosphere slowly built up and I was pretty freaked out by the last third of the film. I was so involved in fact, that I nearly didn't hear the mumbling from the back of the theatre..so naturally I turn around and and I can see the outline of a man sitting on the back-row.
    Needless to say, I developed a stiff-neck from looking behind every ten seconds.

    @patricklena9062 2 дня назад +1

    So the way the movie was marketed was at the beginning when people were really getting home computers and this internet, the story had surfaced about this footage was found and they had marketed it as it's an unsolved case and that they were going to show it in movie theaters. I remember going to see this in the theater and at the very end of the movie, you could have heard a pin drop in that movie theater. Like we used to camp a lot back then. And it absolutely impacted my trusting, the woods, it frightened the hell out of me and it is laughable today, but it certainly was a pioneer of all of those reality television shows and movies that came after it is a very good film. Much better than the sequels that followed and I think heather donahue went on advertising marijuana, hemp, close or something

I questioned it myself at first saying is this real, but I am the type to get some info before I just believe things and I hopped on the net to do a little searching right away. I also wound up seeing The chick in this movie in another movie with Freddie Prince Jr, so I knew it was all fake, but it very good for its time, and I could see it fooling your average person back in the day.

Also amazing how they were able to make this film such a huge success profit wise, and have a decent product from literally making the actors hold the cameras. Amazing. Also being in Maryland, people always try to go visit the woods where the filmed. Great locations.

    I was 14 at the time and remember really looking forward to this film due to all the hype, and was extra pumped when the Curse of the Blair Witch "documentary" aired on TV.
    The day before I was supposed to go in for an important surgery, my Dad offered to treat me to a movie and I picked to go see this. The sheer disappointment I felt as the movie played out became immeasurable. I was fine with the first act, before they get lost, but then... I became so bored and both Heather & Mike were getting on my nerves constantly throughout. Then there's the fact that all the things that were freaking them out in their tent, etc, was all stuff I had logical explanations for (having grown up near the woods during my childhood), which just made me think they were absolute idiotic pansies. The only part that I ended up finding actually kind of creepy was the twig bundle (and what was inside of it). Other than that, I ended up absolutely hating the movie and regretted making it my choice of movie. I felt like I wasted a figurative golden ticket.
    I have re-visited it since then and STILL find myself irritated by it despite trying to look at it through new or enlightened perspective.
    I definitely admire what they were able to do on the viral marketing/publicity side of things for the movie. They absolutely knocked that bit out of the park and sold it. I just wish the actual film could have lived up to it all for me. Oh well...

    I saw it with my mom ans and my sister. I was in my 20s in 1999. I've never seen a movie like this before. But it's b.s. that you have to get a region free player just to watch a movie like The Blair Witch Project. You can tell people to get a region free player all you want, but the majority of people will not get one. It really sucks and blows that it's only a foreign release. I don't know how much a region free player costs, but I'm pretty sure that is expensive a. f. What's the purpose of buying one anyway? I think those cards look really cool. You don't like movie cards in the set. That's your opinion, but some may think those are cool. Will Lions Gate release a set of the movie like Second Sight? Who knows? The funny thing about this when the movie was released. Once the movie was over a guy in the back said out loud that they could have gone to see Inspector Gadget. They thought the ending was terrible. But not me. It was, Awwww, we could have gone to see Inspector Gadget. Womp wooomp!!😂

      Even it was region free I don't see a point in buying it. It was edited down the way it was to make it more coherent. And they did perfect. This is just milking it and adding extra things that don't need to be in just for the sake of milking it more. It was ended down that way for a reason or they wouldn't have taken it out . This is a cash grab. Now if they said you see what heather sees when screams "what the hell is that!?!?" When running out of the tent which unfortunately didn't get caught on camera. I would definitely buy. Or if it had extra footage of Josh going off by himself before being murdered I'd buy it. This is just adding everything that was cut out which sounds over saturated and derails the point of why it was a master piece after being edited down.

    Only needed to see that movie one time.
    Saw it at the Neptune when it was the only theater showing it in WA.
    6 months prior a bunch of friends from HS got together for break at Jen Warren’s house. It was at a lake here and her house was straight out of a horror movie. Her BF said he got this leaked footage from a police investigation about some kids that went missing while filming a documentary. I noped the phawk out of there.
    (Turned out he got an early bootleg from when it was doing the fest circuit)
    FF to when I saw it at the Neptune… the last scene. Welp… hella traumatized.
    When I was 13 my friend Morgan and I went in the woods by his house and discovered an abandoned Boy Scout cabin. We went inside and found shit all over the walls like in the movie.
    As an adult I know now it was probably teens smoking pot and doing dumb shit, but 13 year old Dave seeing Wiccan shit, pentagrams and candles had me running.
    So…
    Never watching that movie ever again.
