Also, not revealing her could have also elicited the opportunity to imagine that she was non-existent, meaning that the events could have all been in the character’s heads, giving it a psychological thriller feel. By keeping her a mystery, or possibly even nonexistent, the audience would have been afforded the opportunity to imagine her in whatever way they wished. There was no reason at all to reveal her to the audience. However, the filmmakers decided that not only should we see her, but we should see what I deem to be a CG mess.
#THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT 2016 ON NETFLIX MOVIE#
To be honest, had they never shown the Blair Witch at all, the movie might have been able to redeem itself somewhat. Skip the proceeding paragraph if you don’t want know what happens.)Īs I mentioned, not seeing the Blair Witch is part of what keeps the movie creepy. (I normally wouldn’t want to give such an important part of the film away in a review, but it’s too important not to discuss. Despite the creep factor, the handicam work is still not good enough to elicit fear in the audience.
Luckily, when seemingly creepy moments occur, the absence of seeing the culprit lets the creepiness set in a bit. Despite having some pretty cool tech with them to capture what is happening, the camerawork doesn’t get your adrenaline going until the very close of the film when the action really picks up. The first half of the film is mostly just the characters talking or walking. In fact, the lack of roller coaster-esque handicam work makes the film rather boring. There are few times during the film that the audience is taken for a ride, and even then its really just more confusing than sickening. However, “Blair Witch” did not even come close to achieving such stomach-churning visuals. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it was always rumored by my eighth-grade counter parts that they gave you vomit bags at showing of “The Blair Witch Project.” The amateur camerawork meant a lot of movement and shakiness that definitely could have induced vomiting in the weak-stomached. Regardless, I think the casting call should have been for actors with little to no experience to retain that realistic feel. Luckily for me, I’d never seen any of these actors in their previous works, so I was able to retain the unknown factor that some may not. With the legend of the Blair Witch, believability is key. For some, separating an actor from their previous roles can prove difficult, especially when watching a horror film it can make it less believable. When perusing IMDB, you can see that a lot of the actors had never had a role before starring in “The Blair Witch Project.” Unlike its predecessor, “Blair Witch” has a cast that has already had a foothold in various projects in Hollywood. One of the aspects of the first film that make it so believable is the (then) unknown cast. It’s difficult to live up to the hype that surrounded “The Blair Witch Project,” so does “ Blair Witch” meet expectations? With its casting choices, modern handicam work, and intrigue, it has the potential. Seventeen years later, “Blair Witch” was released as the sequel to the iconic first film.
It’s low budget and handicam work made the film seem like it could have been real found footage. Now, if you still want to get scared and you're open to other horror movies aside from The Blair Witch Project, Netflix does have some terrifying options for you.The first Blair Witch film, “The Blair Witch Project,” set a new precedent for horror/thriller films. But have no fear, because even though you can't watch The Blair Witch Project on Netflix, it is available to rent on Youtube, Amazon, and iTunes. Life is so much easier when the things we want to watch are available to stream on Netflix. The Blair Witch Project is not available Netflix. But where can you find the original movie Is The Blair Witch Project on Netflix? And while you don't have to have seen The Blair Witch Project to see Blair Witch, it might be nice to refresh your memory. A new horror movie out soon is Blair Witch, aka the terrifying new sequel to The Blair Witch Project. It's the perfect time to re-watch old horror movies and to go to the theater to see new ones. And you know what that means? Horror movies. OK, so maybe my logic isn't exactly sound, but nevertheless, fall is right around the corner and so is Oct. It's officially September, which means it's officially fall, which means it's basically Halloween.
