View Full Version : The Blair Witch Project?
I have just finished watching TBWP on SKY and I am puzzled by the ending to it - what is it you actually see and what does it all mean?

Earlier on in the film it tells of a child killer, years earlier, that used to make (if killing more than one child at a time) one stand in the corner facing the wall while he killed the other because he didn't like being watched ...... does this ring any bells?
But why was Mike I think it was standing there? Was he affected by the Witch?

He was standing in the corner facing the wall waiting to be killed next.
The rest is left to your imagination which is one of the great things about the film. I refuse to watch Blair Witch 2 as it apparently reveals who/what the killer is.

It doesn't, it's actually much better than BW1 and the ending twist is also awesome.

You cannot be serious!!
BW2 was trying too much to be a scary cousin of BW1 and to try to appeal to the masses. The appeal of BW1 was that you didn't know if it was reality or fiction ,at least, that was the concept was when it was first released in the states. I was in the states when BW1 was first released and 80% of audiences didn't have a clue as to what they were seeing which made it 100 times more effective. Before it even reached these shores, people had heard about it and knew it was fiction which in a way spoilt the whole feeling behind the film. People across here were expecting some horror movie when in fact it was little more than a creepy (fictional)documentary.
BW2 has tried to cater for all those folks that were disapointed that BW1 wasn't a hollywood horror picture and went ahead and made a movie that tries to fill in the gaps for all thoses hapless joe-cinemagoers that can't use there imaginations to think of conclusions for themselves(IMHO!!:D)

Well, I'm afraid you seem to be in the minority. BW2 just looks, to me, like a cheap teen-horror cash-in on the success of the original. The reviews were terrible too.
I'm afraid to see it in case it spoils my appreciation of BW1.
If you listen carefully to the first fifteen minutes of the film, the ending is perfectly clear.

I wouldn't say BW2 spoils your appreciation of the first film. I love the first and still do after watching the terrible, terrible sequel.

TBWP is the worst movie I ever saw period. Even a 2 years old kid will not shake the camera as much.
I still cannot believe the success of this movie . Well, I can in a way, considering that the movie represent the typical dumb american teenagers and their total lack of culture .

If you make a film for $37,000 and it gets critical praise at Cannes or Sundance and then a country wide theatrical release you cannot be anything other than successful.
If you create one of the best marketing campaigns ever to aid it's success, you ain't falling short of an absolute gold mine.
Plus, word of mouth was good = success.
This is why the film was successful.
Maybe the reason you didn't like was because you didn't understand it. ;)

I watched BW2 last night!!
:eek:
I dont know if it was the beer or the general oddness of the film.
Not a bad film, but not one for mass viewing.
If anybody could explain to me what the hell was going on in it then please be my guest!
I hate movies with endings which don't tie everything up!

What we were seeing the whole movie was what they were thinking they're seeing, like through their eyes, but since they were possessed by the evil spirit of or blair witch herself, what actually happened is shown in the end, they killed each other being all paranoid in their mind and hearing and seeing things not as they really happened, like the example with that guy's girlfriend begging them not to kill her on the video the police showed.

ta, even though that is a bit of a silly way to make a film.
Bet you thought this would be another spoiler eh!!!
BWP2-BOS
Joe Berlinger intended the sequel to be a comment on the cult and success of the first, particularly the idea of the blurring of fiction and reality (many people thought the first was an actual documentary, apparently). Plus, whatever you see on "film" in the sequel is a subjective perspective (or "false") and whatever you see on video is true. That's what comes out of his commentary, at any rate....
Is it any good as a film, though? Haha. Like the first, it splits its audience but there are far less people in the "pro" corner than the "anti".
In my book, BWP1 is one of THE classic horror movies and spooky as hell (even on repeated viewings). BWP2-BOS was a pleasant surprise after all the bad reviews and is getting better and better on repeated viewings. I certainly don't regret getting the R1 BW Experience set (movies 1 & 2, plus a luvverly necklace and all 3 PC games).

BWP success is more down to its advertising than anything else. By the time it was relelased in the UK the advertising was bigger than the film itself, which led to many people walking out after 20 minutes demanding their money back.
Over-rated by many, unoriginal, but with its well thought out marketing it couldnt fail.

I just think 'The Blair Witch Project' creates the sense of fear/terror/loneliness/costropobia unlike most other horror films, especially films of this genre in the nineties.
If it creates these senses then it surely is a good/great film - for me it did. For some, like 'The Exorcist' all it created was one big joke and therefore you wouldn't be able to draw any satisfaction out of the film.

A horror (as in style) film must have certain emotional effects.
I cannot watch BW1 at night, in complete darkness.
I know its a film, I know its not real but try telling me this when the kids start making the noise outside the tent in the film and the noises when the screen is pitch black.
This wouldnt be so bad if i lived in a 'noisy' road, but it is a very quiet neigbourhood, with fields and woods close by.
I watched BW2 no problem, but that is a different style of film.

13-10-2001, 18:37
I first deliberately watched it on my own, in the middle of the night, with noone else in the house and with all the lights off - it scared the hell of me and was a fantastic experience :D
And that marketing campaign was amazingly good. Although some clowns have slagged the movie with comments like "I could have made that" - well why didn't you then - you'd be a millionaire now!
Like 'Just call me wanda' mentioned in the above postings, it created the sense of fear/terror/loneliness/costropobia unlike any other horror film has for decades.
And I hate movies where they always have to tie the endings up - that is what spoilt A.I.
If you read around the internet for the Mythology of the BWP, the film will start to make more sense and you will enjoy it more. i did, and I dont regret it.
At the end of Blair Witch, he stands there because he kills one while the other stands against the wall. If I remember rightly, havent seen it for a few months now.
Whooooo!:eek:

This is the last great (and arguably one of the greatest) horror films of the last century. undoubtedly the most orginal film of all time and the most groundbreaking for all the reasons mentioned above. I hate it when people slate the film 'cause "the bloody camera shaking makes me feel sick". That is the main tool of the film, in that it makes it real and accessible to the public. Everyone has seen home videos, these are psychologically good things i.e Christmas films, holiday videos, weddings etc, by invading this personal and 'safe' medium, the filmmakers have turned the film into a kind of personal invasion. This is how 'The Shining' worked. By making the dad (traditionally kind, loving guardian) the bad guy.
The more the viewer can relate, sometimes the better the film. By making a horror film that is actually 'pheaseable' or percieved to be, then its going to be a success.
The very first review i read of this film, summed it up. It was in the Guardian just after the US release. The reporter said how she had never been so terrified in a film. Her boyfriend and her caught a taxi home instead of the 10 minute walk. She said she kinda forgot about the film, then a week later sitting at home, it struck her. She locked all the windows and doors and went straight to bed (8pm).
This film was also the best cinematic experience i've ever had. It was in the cinemas largest screena and there was not an empty seat. Some people got up and left, but when the film ended and everyone left instead of the usual mutterings of "that was good", "just going to the toilet", "what a waste", instead there was complete silence, 300 or so people walked straight out, couples holding hands not speaking except to thank the stewards. Fantastic!:D

You not seen The Last Broadcast or even Cannibal Holocaust then? It's not that original if Myrick & Sanchez have.

The Last Broadcast looks like a spoof of the Blair Witch. Admittedly its the same kinda idea, but the FILM is one of the most original, not the idea behind it.
But no, i haven't seen Canabal holocaust so cant comment.
My newely revised phrase: "The Blair witch Project is the most original film i ever saw in the last century!":D

I know I am in a minority and I have only seen each of the BW films once and I'm sure I deserve to be dragged through hot coals. In each instance I knew what to expect in terms of production values and popular opinion but I can't help it - the first one neither spooked me or held my interest and the second one did. I loved the sequel and am not fussed with anything about the original except the story.

There's nothing fresh or original about TBWP other than it was commercially successfull.

Book of Shadows was much better imho, the original just didn't work for me at all, just a bit disturbing at the end but not enough to make up for the boredome I felt throughout the earlier stages.

Thought I'd drag this up as I watched it last night (taped from Sunday night).
Anyway it bored me senseless until the end when I **** my pants. Now normally I hate (in the sense that I'm easily scared) horror movies and have to force myself to sit through them. The BWP was one of those films that I thought I would find genuinely scary because of the "documentary" aspect of it. However, it soon becomes clear that it's not going to get any better or scary and I couldn't wait for it to end.
This brings me to my theory on why people consider it to be a good film and it proved so successful i.e. the ending is so scary and powerful that people forget about the mind numbing boredom they've experienced in the previous hour and a quarter and focus on the ending. Voila - great film!
To be honest I was glad they got killed 'cos they were incredibly annoying and at least they won't be able to produce any more sh't documentaries. ;)

why undoubtedly? You mean in your opinion. Because many people don't share that view. I think that it borrowed heavily from Cannibal Holocaust and elements of Texas Chainsaw Massacre so i would disagree that it is 'the most original film of all time'.
just seen the previous posts, sorry for the duplication!

The clues lead you to a phrase, which you enter onto the Blair Witch website, which takes you to a secret page where your name becomes registered on a list with a number telling you your position.
Cant even remember the phrase now...
Something like 'Seek me no more' I think.

I've watched the BWP a few too many times to be scared by it anymore. But I appreciate the film a lot. I think it is very good. The daytime sections drag a bit, with all the repetitive screaming about losing the map and stuff. But the nighttime sequences... woo! Genuinely terrifying!
I watched it at the cinema (alone, I might add, being a sad barstard). I was trembling in my chair during the nighttime sequences! But when the film finished, pretty much everyone else in the cinema got up and said, "Jesus, that was absolute crap!" and "That's the worst film I've ever seen!".
it didn't scare me... i didn't see why people love the movie so.
i could make a movie filled with drawings on toilet paper, thats original as far as cinema is concerned but would it actually serve its purpose and tell a scary tale?
no
just because something is shot differently does not make it a good movie.
i still cannot fathom why people find the movie scary, i think that perhaps it would have had more power if i was in the states and was victim to the unique marketing campaign.
Must admit I went to the cinema alone (:( ) to see this. For some reason it was deserted and all just added to the atmosphere and I found it damn scary. I think it really can only be watched in the pitch black and silence or it just doenst have any real impact.
The DVD still maintains it's appeal IMO.
Even if I can't be bothered to watch the whole film, I still have an urge to watch the mockumenatries about the origins of the Blair Witch.
Those drawings supposedly by people who'd seen the witch are pretty eerie.

That's exactly the point I think. The hype surrounding the film by the time it reached our shores would only lead to disappointment... as it does with many blockbuster movies too. In this case it took the main horror device away from the whole thing as the story behind the film had been revealed.
Everyone expected something truly terrifying, which I don't think it will ever be when viewed as a movie. Take the stance of viewing it for the first time as a documentary as intended and you can see how harrowing it could be.
The idea of the mockumentary may not be the most original one, but the way they approached the marketing side of things and the success it lead to has to be admired. I would say the concept as a whole could be considered original and does deserve some praise.

I haven't bothered with BW2, and don't think I ever will.
I did enjoy the original Blair Witch though, being a fan of movies where it's what you don't see that sometimes scares you more (Think Ridley Scott's Alien maybe?).
Even if you are of the opinion that the movie is pants, you have to admit the writers / director for achieving what they did with the tiny amount of money.
It didn't see BWP for ages after it came out, I only watched it when I brought the DVD, and was expecting a "stinky pile of poo" as that seemed to be the general opinion when it was released here.
But I was both genuinely impressed and scared because I had forgotten all the hype about "scariest film ever" and all that rubbish. I have seen all sorts of horror films and am not normally scared by them but this did.
I imagine those people who feel the film is a dissappointment are the same ones that expected to see the worlds best/scariest movie ever and couldn't wait for it to be released at the cinemas here.
Dullest most boring film I've ever seen :( , it just didn't click with me , Watched it at a midnight showing and all it put me in the mood for was taking the dog a walk down the park , So at least my dog benefitted from me seeing tBWP :)

I saw TBWP on C4 for the first time the other night, I was expecting to hate it, cos of all the hype etc etc.... but I quite enjoyed it. I didn't find particularly scary, but then very few films are unless you believe in ghoulies and ghosties, which I don't.
I think though that the whole BWP release problems in this country is a prime example of why films should be released simultaneously on both sides of the pond.
I get fed up of hearing about BIG films for weeks before they come out, just because the yanks already have it.
Like with "attack of the clowns", you had to make a concerted effort for weeks to avoid any trailers, previews, discussion and reviews just so you can see a film with virgin preconceptions.
Bloody annoying. All these irritating "entertainment" shows cooing about having the first footage of this or that. I would rather not know anything about a film before seeing it.

Agreed fully.
Reminds me, when, not so long ago, when I was scared of the dark...
It created a perfect sense of dread of not knowing what was out in the dark, the terror of the unknown - and for me, the film encapsulated my old fears perfectly :shocker:
Bright on the other hand, didn't really like it to much, because it didn't pull on the physcological strings that it did with me...
I think really, thats how it worked - people who had a fear of the dark or similar when they were younger loved it, and those who couldn't give two hoots about the dark as a kid, hated it :)

Personally I find that the leads ruin the film completely.
Whats the point in creating a horror film in which by the end of the movie, you really couldnt care less if the 3 morons got out or not ?.
Now Ring on the other hand created all the emotions and fears which Blair Witch attempted.
Wes Craven probably got it right when he said "I've had scarier phone bills".

I just saw this and got the above but it still didn't make much sense. It feels like a bit of the film was skipped at the end (maybe it was!!)
I was okay and then the girl dissapeared. They call her dad on a 3 way speaker phone and the next thing you know they're in the police station being show tape of what really happened. Did I miss anything?

its a good film, better than good in fact.
if you walked into the cinema expecting the most frightening thing on earth (blame the hype), and also sat there thinking "come on! frighten me" rather than just let yourself get carried away with it, then you'd probably be disaspointed.
I don't see the point in going into a film with the attitude of challenging it to impress you, and i think a lot of people did that with Blair Witch.
As for the actual film - I love the ending, and I love most of it - the dark scenes are superb, but I also think it's very good how they make the forest frightening even in the day time - the feeling of remoteness you get from it is brilliant.
Many people in the audience were frightened, and there were some bits that gave me goosebumps (is that the expression?) - whether these people were genuinely frightened, or just got carried away with the hype of it, i dunno, but it was a good experience lol.

I think a lot of it comes down to how good an imagination you have. The fact there wasn't blood and guts and great big witching monsters from the start seemed to have put people right off the film.
Similarly, back in the early nineties, a late-night screening of The Exorcist was completely ruined by audible moans of "give me Freddy anytime" and "It 'ain't no Hellraiser". :(
People are now so used to having everything fully explained to them via Savini or IL&M CGI that when something comes along requiring a certain amount of imagination it'll fail a certain section of the audience. :oh-hum:
It's a fab film. I've never felt such a physical feeling of dread in a cinema before.
Personally, I thought it was a strong contender for the dullest film I've ever seen. It took me two nights to get through on DVD, and I only kept going because I thought it had to get better at some point.

Ok then - I'm fed up of defending Blair Witch 2 to people but i'll do so anyway.
The film was heavily tampered with by the studio after they thought that teenagers wouldn't 'get it'. So they re-shot all the sequences of gore in the film - or rather, added lots of shots of gore to the film because they felt the teens would be bored by it.
The copy of the script i have (the shooting draft) makes no mention of flashes to gore scenes at all. Also the structure is laid out different. The only part of the re-shoot that Berlinger had control of was the scene in the beginning at the mental home, and that is a reference to 'The Titicut Follies' - a documentary about asylums and thier treatments of patients. Funnily enough though the sequence means absolutely nothing in the overall scheme of things.
For what it's worth i think the film would've worked had it not been for studio tampering. Sure the flick is flawed but that's what happens when a studio gives you 8-9 months to write, cast, shoot and complete the film. I'm sure re-writes would've benefitted the dialogue scenes in particular.
As a film though i think it is very effective - each character is meant to represent a different 'Fan' of the film - The guy who cashes in on the success, The Wiccan who felt betrayed by the film's treatment of witches, The couple out to write a book on it and then the goth girl who thought the film was 'cool'.
What basically happens is that they are all obsessed enough by this legend that they are willing to come on this trip in the first place. Then in a drug-addled and boozed up state and having been talking about the 'legend' all night - they go somewhat crazy, have their orgy (at the suggestion of one of the women - i can't remember which one though) and generally denounce God...Then they go and murder a few people. (Anyone who knows their Blair Witch folk lore would know that the murder is supposed to copy the one at Coffin rock, in which a search party were murdered by an unseen assailant, their entrails removed and the party tied together by their hands and feet).
The group wake up in the morning, but only having 'some' memory of what happened - i say some because it depends on how you look at it - I believed they had a faint recollection of something going wrong, but they dismiss it, unable to accept the truth.
However, things get a little confused with Tristan and her baby. There is the question of whether or not they actually went to the hospital or not (The nurse is in 1940's garb). Then they return to Jeff's house and things get wierder. Erica and Stephen have a fantasy/nightmare about having sex - they are both affected by it because they know that they have had sex. Then Erica is found dead - but who did it? and did she really exsist?
As for that - I don't know. It's think that Erica did exsist - the fact they call her father and he doesn't know who she is was because she gave them a fake name/number. At least that's how i saw it - but again it depends on your point of view.
Then after it's all gone to hell, the remaining group turn on Tristan because she's said she has 'Felt something' all the long. Believing her to be responsible for it all they hang her (in a very convincing fashion) hoping that it will all end with her death.
They get caught and are shown the video tapes of what happened both at the campsite and at Jeff's house. However, not one of the group see's it that way. Jeff does say to Kim at the beginning 'Video never lies' - but each person swears that it didn't happen like the video says it does. Then the film ends and that's it.
So were the group manipulated by an entity of some kind - or were they victims of paranoia and pop culture? I don't know - my preffered reasoning is that they were victims of their own doing - that because things went bad to worse they couldn't cope and resorted to more desperate measures to keep a level head of it all.
Some food for thought:
1) When Kim is in the Supermarket - the guy fixing the Fridge has his tools made out in the shape of a stickman and says "I'm finished now" - The exact words Rustin Parr said when he killed all those children - add to the fact that the guy looks like Rustin Parr (There was an unseen trailer for the film that showed some newsreel footage of Rustin Parr and it looks like the same guy). Not only that but the place looks like it was out of the 40's (Look at some of the stuff on the shelves)
2) Everything that transpires before the night when they go camping is real, everything after is from the Point-of-View of one or more of the characters (Kim crashing the van yet the next morning it's fine)
3) The 'Secret if Esrever' is a load of crap, it's a gimmick that was added to the home release of the film in an attempt to boost sales of the thing - it has nothing to do with anything and when you've 'solved' it you only end up at a crappy web page (Which links to the unused trailer actually)
So anyway - i think that's all of it covered.

I personally thought that this movie was utter rubbish. I remember thinking in the cinema "when is this gonna finish?". Seen it later on and re-watched it. To my suprise, it was actually better second time around. Still a load of pants though.:)

Thought BWP was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, with only the Thin Red Line close behind it. It just didnt scare me at all and I saw it at a late showing.
After the film was over all I wanted to do was
congratulate the Blair Witch for killing that annoying bitch who constantly just whined throughout the film getting on my bloody nerves!

My newely revised phrase: "The Blair witch Project is the most original film i ever saw in the last century!":D
The Last Broadcast ........was actually made BEFORE the Blair Witch Project........original eh? :D
So what did that gorrilla with the blow-up doll have to do with things...
...hang on, got the wrong Witch Project film sorry. :nuts:

I watched in on pirate :nono: late at night with a couple of friends.It scared the crap out of us especially when someone upstairs asleep fell off the bed.We were sitting there in silence watching the movie then Boom :shocker: .
I watched it again at the cinema as the pirate had a very poor picture.The ending freaked me out
The guy just standing there facing the wall.
I was house sitting for someone and after getting home from the showing at midnight.Had to walk from my house to the house I was looking after.I was craping myself :nuts:

Same here - I found that you're able to see a lot more of the director's intent with realtion to the theme of the film if you watch his two amazing previous documentaries - Paradise Lost : Th Robin Hood Hills Child Murders and it's follow up - Paradise Lost 2 : Revelations.
More info on the real-life case which is the focus of the documentaries here :Free The West Memphis Three (http://www.wm3.org/)
