PipeSwinger Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wasn't a big fan of the original film. I am still definitely open to watching this though. Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofa King Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The first movie scared the hell out of my girlfriend at the time. She was convinced that it was real. Never saw the next one but this new one looks like it'll be good for some scares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matto_lsi Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I remember when the first one came out. It was the first of these 'found footage' movies, and the marketing for it implied it was real and the people in it were never found. It was only after we saw it in theaters that it was revealed to be a hoax film. Since then, this genre of film has been very popular, and for the most part, equally boring. Rewatching the original blair witch, knowing it was fake, about a year after it came out, I realized how lame it was. I don't really care for horror movies anymore, and the few I've seen since like the Ring and the Grudge failed to elicit any response from me. I honestly have no interest in seeing this film, and ironically, it's directly because of the legacy left behind by the first film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmadrox Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) The first movie scared the hell out of my girlfriend at the time. She was convinced that it was real. We all thought it was real at the time. That's one of the biggest reasons it was so great. Even though I know now it was just a movie, it doesn't do anything to kill the ambiance of it for me. I think it's because I was like 14 or so when it came out, and it'll always hold a special place in my heart because of that.

yellowwindow7 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 the second movie was really stupid, no where near the first movie, hope this will follow the same scare factor and intense of the first movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumpetOfDojima Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I really like the idea of found footage film, it's so interesting in a sense of... It feels real. Until they make sequels, that ruins it for me.Especially Paranormal Activity. I really enjoyed the first back when it got released, good concept.

Caesar Clown Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 People thought it was real? It was a movie, based on that fact alone, you should know it was fake. I watched it a few years ago, dull movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omelette Paradise Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 https://youtu.be/kok693DxwVo He says he's looking for his sister after all these years. Could he mean Heather from the first movie? He is indeed Heather's brother, per the movie's director. I actually enjoyed the hell out of the original movie when I first watched it, and I liked the ambiguous nature of the ending. I found the whole film in general effective because it was more about the wonder of who or what was following them, rather than just another horror movie with a monster on screen that's full of cheap jump scares. As far as Blair Witch 2 goes, the less said about that abomination of a movie the better This new film has come out of nowhere, I have to say. As a fan of the original, I can't wait to watch it as it looks quite promising. I just hope we don't actually see the Blair Witch, because that's what made the original movie work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone_Earth Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The original was a nice little romp and this one may be a good one too. I also remember everyone thinking it was real back in the day too, to the point that the town of Burkitsville had to actually change their answering machine message to say something like "thank you for calling, blair witch is just a movie"!

jackmadrox Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 He is indeed Heather's brother, per the movie's director. Nice! That only further deepens my intrigue for this movie. Because now it's directly connected to the first film, and hopefully we can forget that Book Of Shadows movie ever happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto-Tomato Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The first movie wasn't too bad, but it did rely on the gimmick that it was 'real', which to be fair...worked. I remember a lot of people being duped by it at the time. Lol Probably give this one a watch somewhere down the line. The only 'real' movies that freaked me out as a kid were The Legend of Boggy Creek & Picnic at Hanging Rock, a local myth and an entirely fictitious story, respectively, but they both maintain that real gimmick to some degree, something which BW lost not too long after release, still, it gets a lot of credit for fooling so many, even if it was short lived. The only hope is they've made a good movie this time, because the 'real' aspect is long gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emachifu Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I was actually scared after the first one and because I lived in a old English house... I started walking with a flashlight from my phone... I also started looking around the corners. I am not crazy I just literally got scared and if you ever lived in a old English house with creeking floors with a black cat that can make you feel like someone is in your house... You will know how much it can scare you... in addition people obviously died in the house since it was so old. We also had a garden and a window to show the garden to us at night so it was all very very pretty sarcastically speaking.

DO_or_DIE_312 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The 1st Blair Witch was a classic.Not only was it scary but grossed the most money with the lowest budget back then.I hope this movie does well.Looks pretty dam good so for.This movie and The It movie Remake will be the greatest and scariest remakes ever I think.Forget the bloody gore movies those are not scary thriller movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabbiAndy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 That movie brings back memories. I remember being really young and staying up late. Flipping through channels I came across the original movie and seeing that it was just a low budget, shaky cam movie it had me curious. I must have watched an hour of it up to the end where I sat there traumatized haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiopile Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Those who were not around for the original probably can't appreciate that back then "found film" movies didn't really exist in high numbers. The Blair Witch Project was the breakthrough movie for the genre. So yes, there was great debate about how real the movie was. Also the internet was just exploding so there wasn't much in the way of spoilers to be had. Oh, and people thought the world was going to end. I ran from the theatre when it ended. I was in my 20's.

freddie1989 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It is just your typical horror movie....rubbish! In fairness though they are just not my sort of thing as their aim is to be scary and yet none of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfH3ro94 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Doesn't need another film. I thought it was pretty bad in the first place. Really didn't like it. My memories of BWP are just some kids walking through a forest shouting for the one that got lost and getting slowly more scared, but nothing majorly scary - but then I'm not really a fan of that sort of film. I'd be open to watching a sequel. Maybe with today's special effects they can actually make it ...good? Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
