The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreIts retarded, annoying, NOT SCARY at all.. perfectly destroyed original which has power to scare even today.. but somebody in USA told himself "yea lets destryo that " , so they destroyed that.
View MoreThe original 1999 film was a masterclass in fear, suspense, improvisational acting and the power of subtlety. This belated cash grab, on the other hand, is a 90-minute showreel of every terrible found-footage cliché that has ever been used since the dawn of the millennium. It manages to extinguish every single one of its creepy moments - which are few and far-between - with deafening sound effects, weak acting and an everlasting number of pathetic jump-scares that are about as creative as a child running up behind you shouting "boo". Sitting through its running time was a thoroughly annoying experience, though its unintentionally hilarious ending had me in stitches.
View MoreBlair Witch is a surprisingly effective re-imagining/sequel to the 1999 cultural phenomenon The Blair Witch Project. Directed by Adam Wingard his notorious visual style isn't as quite as prevalent in this film, at-least until the third act when the plot kicks in. For the most part, Blair Witch follows the same structure of its predecessor. Which means large sections of the film are literally treading the same ground, the first hour of the film was incredibly dull.Thankfully the film becomes more engaging when James (James Allen McCune) and Lisa (Callie Hernandez) reach the witches house, whilst in search for James's sister who went missing 20 years earlier. Both actors do a fantastic job, especially Callie Hernandez who carries a-lot of fear and emotion in the final act on her shoulders. They're also accompanied by a couple of friends that aren't even remotely developed, and are essentially there for canon fodder.Over-all the film feels like a wasted opportunity. Large sections of the film were lifeless, I didn't need to see people walking in the woods for an hour doing very little again. However when the final act comes, it does a fantastic job of being atmospheric and genuinely scary. However it was too little too late.
View MoreAfter 15-20 years or so James (James Allen McCune) returns to Blair to locate his sister Heather based on some film he saw on line. He gets a crew, GPS, Walkie Talkies, a drone and two local guides. They get in the woods but it won't let them out and it stays dark so they wouldn't have to spend any money showing you cool stuff or creating special effects. The special effects hit on all the negatives: ground cam, foot cam, sky cam, tree cam, "what was that" cam, jerk cam, scream in the dark cam, drag on the ground cam, flashlight fail cam, blurred cam, and panic whine cam. It was all annoying, done before and better. I liked "Blair Witch 2" more, even though this sequel makes more sense, it was just done so poorly. Lane (Wes Robinson) was half decent. I expected more from Adam Wingard.Guide: F-word. no sex or nudity
