For the 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch Project, ComingSoon looks at the movies, books, and games birthed from the found footage behemoth.
A quarter of a century has passed since Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s bombshell surprise box office smash The Blair Witch Project. It’s fair to say the movie’s legacy has been monumental, even if its direct descendants have not endured the best reputation.
Three student filmmakers venture into the woods of Burkittsville to document the local legend of The Blair Witch. Things begin to go wrong almost immediately, and as they lose their way, they lose their grip on reality. Cue lots of running in the dark and screaming until that blunt-force final scene.
Blair Witch 2’s best trait is how it sneers at fan culture and so-called experts. The cast of this film are clearly cosplaying as the characters they think they’re supposed to be. Their desperation to be a part of someone else’s cultural phenomenon is a fun way to approach a semi-retread.
As an expansion of the folklore, they’re fascinating and worthwhile additions. As video games, they’re an endurance test. They were not particularly well received then, and being PC-only probably didn’t help them gain a wide enough audience to make an impact anyway.Bloober Team would be the next to tackle a video game adaptation of The Blair Witch in 2019. It tried to evoke the found footage lost in the woods feel of the original movie but with a brand new story of a man and his dog.
