Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a found-footage horror film: "The Blair Witch Project"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The Blair Witch legend refers to the ghost of Elly Kedward
In 1700, the village children accused her of luring them into her home,
so she could get blood from them
The villagers then found her guilty of doing witchcraft
As a punishment, the villagers excommunicated her from the town during the winter,
and presumably got frozen to death
After some time, her accusers, together with a number of children, mysteriously disappear
The villagers believed that their town got cursed; so they decided to leave
But the horror did not end there
After a hundred years,
11 people testified that they witnessed a woman’s hand pulling a child into the creek
The child’s body was never found;
and thirteen days after, the creek gets clogged by an oily bundle of sticks
After that, in 18 86, search groups began to look for a missing child
The child managed to be found; but one of the search groups was not able to return
Four days later, their bodies are found in Coffin Rock being tied together;
and their stomachs are completely mutilated
In 19 41, seven children were reportedly abducted in Burkittsville
A hermit walked into the market, and declared that he is finally finished
The police hiked into his isolated house; and they found the bodies of the missing children
They found the bodies mutilated in a ritualistic way
The hermit admitted everything in detail,
claiming that he just followed the order of an old woman near his home
After that, he was convicted of the crimes and got hanged to death as a punishment
In October 19 94, three students decided to make a documentary about the Blair Witch legend
The documentary is directed by “Heather”
She is with the cameraman “Joshua”, and a sound crew, “Michael”
They all mysteriously disappeared while shooting the documentary in the woods near Burkittsville,
formerly known as Blair
After a year, their footage was found in an old abandoned cabin in the woods
At the beginning of the footage,
Heather is at her home talking about her plans to investigate Blair Witch
After a few moments, Joshua arrives with his camera; and they both drive to pick up Michael
As they get united, the three go to buy some groceries for their trip
They then begin shooting their documentary at the burial place of the seven children,
who got murdered by the hermit in 19 40
After that, they interview some locals in Burkittsville about the Blair Witch legend
They ask a mother with her child about it; and she says that she first heard it on the television
She then shares the story of how two men disappeared in the cabin,
while hunting in the middle of the woods
After that, they interview a Grandpa, who recalls the story of the bloody hermit
Meanwhile, a teenager shares the story of how the hermit murdered the children
He says that the hermit killed the children by twos
The hermit made a child face the wall, while murdering the other one;
and after that, he killed the child facing the wall
Later, they come to the house of a crazy woman, who claims to have encountered the Blair Witch
The crazy woman narrates how she encountered it, when she went fishing in the woods with her dad
She describes the Blair Witch’s body as full of fur, and it is wearing a shawl
After interviewing the crazy woman, they drive to their hotel
Along the way, they say the crazy woman is blabbering nonsense after she describes the Blair Witch
They arrive in their hotel room soon, and do an equipment check
They are preparing for their long hike to the woods tomorrow
They then enjoy drinking alcohol before their sleep
The following day, they continue driving towards the trail,
leading to the woods where the disappearances happened
Along the way, they find two anglers fishing in the river
They then interview the two about the Blair Witch
The younger angler calls it a myth, while the old angler believes it
The old angler claims that he saw a misty vapor rising from the water;
and he thinks that it is related to the Coffin Rock case
After the interview, they continue driving towards the trail leading to the woods
They eventually arrive, and park their car on the side of the road
They proceed to hike the trail with their heavy bags
They soon arrive at their first spot of the documentary, which is the Coffin Rock
They then shoot Heather talking about the torture and horror inflicted on the search group,
which has taken place in Coffin Rock
After that, they notice that it is about to go dark
So they immediately wrap up the shoot
They then walk to find a place for their tent
It is heavily raining, so they cannot set up a fire for heat and light
After they set up the tent, they go to sleep inside
The next day, Joshua tells them that he heard a strange cackling noise outside their tent
Joshua and Heather check their location on the map
She accidentally says that she was a little confused about their location yesterday
Joshua gets nervous; so she claims that she knows where they are going
After that, they continue hiking for their next spot for the documentary
Along the way, Heather takes a smelly business; and Joshua makes fun of her shit
They then continue hiking; and after some time, they notice that they are off the trail
Michael gets agitated, and forces Heather to admit that she does not know where they are going
Michael believes Heather did not properly scout the locations
Joshua calms both of them, saying they should focus on looking at the map
Michael takes a look at the map, and he does not know how to read it
So he says he will put his trust in Heather to guide them,
although he doubts her knowledge about the woods
They continue hiking, and pass through a creek with a log bridge
They then slowly cross the log while having their heavy bags
As they continue hiking, they find a place with a pile of rocks
Heather remembers the pile of rocks is related to a bible teaching
She finds seven piles of rocks, which looks like an Indian burial ground
At night, they camp again; and now they finally set their fire
In a few moments, Heather decides to have another shot of the pile of rocks
Heather hears another strange sound from a distance; and she decides to investigate it
However, Michael refuses to leave the tent
The following day, it is raining again
Joshua believes that the noise must be coming from other people nearby
Michael then gets worried that the people might be dangerous to them
They continue hiking again
Michael and Joshua seriously want to get back to the car,
believing that they might be lost in the woods
But Heather insists that she still knows where they are going
After some time, they are still walking, and it is about to go dark
Joshua suggests that they should stop and take a look at the map
Michael gets agitated, believing that they are lost
so he shouts to express his anger
Heather suggests that they should camp for the night, since it is already dark
She then says the car is not far from their location; and they can still arrive back home in time
Later at night, they are camping in their tent
They suddenly hear strange noises again
Heather and Joshua begin filming it
Joshua suggests that it must be coming from a deer
But she insists that it could not be, since the noise is coming from all around them
They then carefully listen to the noise, and start believing it must be coming from footsteps
The next day, they find three piles of rocks around their tent
Heather insists the pile of rocks was not there yesterday, saying that it is something strange
However, Joshua and Michael do not care about her bullshit,
since they desperately want to get back to their car
As they are about to leave, Heather realizes that she has lost the map
She then asks Joshua if he had taken it from her yesterday
But Joshua angrily replies that he does not have it, and he has already given it back to her
Without a better choice, they have to continue searching further
After hours of walking, they take a rest; and Joshua says that they are already lost
But he optimistically says if they are not able to go back home at night,
people will start looking for them
They then continue hiking, and pass by a stream
Michael keeps laughing; and Heather takes notice of it
After they pass the stream, Heather’s shoes get wet
Michael and Joshua keep laughing at her;
so she begins to think that the two hid the map to annoy her
As they are laughing, Michael joyfully admits he kicked the map in the creek yesterday
He insists that the map is useless, since they are lost anyway
Heather then yells at him, and begins blaming him if ever they die in the woods
At this point, Michael and Heather begin yelling at each other
It seems that the situation is slowly affecting them mentally
In a few moments, they begin to silently continue hiking south in the woods
Michael and Joshua eventually decide to stop
Meanwhile, Michael finds creepy stick figures, hanging in the tree
Believing that it is related to voodoo and witchcraft,
he begins shouting to call the attention of Joshua and Heather
She then gets excited, and starts filming everything
In a few moments, Joshua and Michael begin walking away; and they shout at her to begin walking too
Michael gets completely frustrated at their situation, and he desperately yells for help
At night, they camp again, and decide to turn off all the lights,
hoping to avoid any attention from strange creatures
But in the middle of the night, they suddenly hear a baby screaming around them
Suddenly, something starts shaking their tent
In fear, they start frantically running away from it
As they get far away, they just sit together in darkness until the sunlight comes
In the morning, they walk back to the tent
Joshua finds his belongings scattered
It is covered with slime; and they find another stick figure lying around
Michael gets angry at Heather’s constant filming of their situation;
so he attempts to get the camera away from her
But she defends herself; and later on, they begin hiking again
Along the way, they pass through a stream with a log bridge
They take a rest for a while there
After some time, Heather insists that they should continue walking south
Meanwhile, Joshua is just sitting in silence,
and he suddenly complains about the slimy thing around his belongings
They continue walking again, and Joshua falls tired
He says that he does not want to camp for another night in the woods
Heather then says they can find the car sooner since they are in America,
where the woods are not a big area
They continue walking again, and find themselves back in the same stream with a log bridge,
despite walking in the opposite direction from it
They then completely lose their mind at this point,
as they figure out that something strange is happening
Michael and Joshua begin yelling like crazy, while Heather cries in frustration
They continue walking again in silence
Darkness is about to come, and they are not able to find their way out of the woods
Joshua films Heather, while he keeps blaming her for their situation
She then begs for him to stop yelling at her
Michael calms both of them, and says they should act rationally to survive
Darkness comes, leaving them no choice but to camp in the woods again
They are too exhausted, and they just decide to rest peacefully
The next day, Heather and Michael wake up,
finding Joshua is gone while his belongings are still there
The two then desperately search for him;
and Heather thinks about the slimy thing around Joshua’s belongings
As they cannot find him around, they start talking about the direction they are going
Since they cannot find anything walking south, the two agree to walk east
After some hours of walking, darkness is coming again; so the two decide to camp for the night
In the middle of the night, they hear strange noises again; and they believe it is from Joshua
They walk outside, and try to follow the sound
but they cannot find any sign of him
The next day, they wake up, and find a bundle of sticks outside their tent
It is tied up by Joshua’s clothing
Heather decides to just keep it away from the tent
Michael finds some cigarettes in his stuff, and they both smoke to calm themselves
Later, Heather inspects the bundle of sticks, and finds Joshua’s blood and teeth
She then screams in horror
She washes her hands, and insists on continuing walking, despite being depressed in their situation
The two continue walking; but they fail to find anything
Michael is losing hope, and begins eating dry leaves beside the stream
At night, Heather films herself, apologizing to the parents of Michael and Joshua
She admits that their tragic situation is the result of her decision on the project
But she insists that since they have started the project, they should continue filming in the woods
She then gives her own message to her parents
Suddenly, they hear Joshua’s voice again, pleading for help
The two leave their tent, and begin searching for him in the darkness
They keep walking until they find an old, abandoned, and damaged cabin
The two search inside; and they hear Joshua’s voice again from upstairs
In the stairwell, small handprints are apparent
Michael suddenly hears Joshua’s voice from downstairs;
so he frantically runs towards there, leaving Heather alone inside
As Michael goes outside of the cabin, something strikes him, making his camera fall
Meanwhile, Heather screams in terror as she runs downstairs
She manages to go outside, only to find Michael staring at the wall
Something suddenly strikes her, and her camera falls
In the end, Heather, Michael, and Joshua mysteriously disappear;
and a year later, only their footage was found
