The biggest lingering mystery involves Ashley (played by actress Corbin Reid), who cuts her foot while crossing the Tappy East Creek and, a few hours later, suffers. There's something primal about human instincts about the terror of being lost in the woods." If you experienced permanent night and claustrophobia in the woods, it would be incredibly unnerving. "I wanted to create as many unique set pieces as possible. Barrett won't tell me flat out that his group witnesses their own demises, but he's frank about playing with the mind-boggling logic in the name of scares.

"When find Rustin Parr's house at the end of the film, the movie tells you the house was burned down after he was hanged." In Blair Witch, that insinuation is expanded into a literal time loop, which (if I'm reading this correctly) ties the final scene of the film back to a YouTube video viewed by the campers before their big trip. Barrett says the original movie actually gave us this taste of time travel - he just blew it out. An afternoon amounts to five days for the wandering Land and Talia, the local guides booted by the core group after being total bullshit artists (or so everyone assumed). In the early stages of Barrett's nightmarish cat-and-mouse game, we see the Black Hills' invisible forces trap the campers in a time-shifting plane of existence. "When you talk about the historical figures caught up in this legend," Barrett says, "you have to ask yourself: are these the cause of the haunting or are they symptoms of it?"īlair Witch makes the case for the latter.

Through his new characters' pre-attack banter, Barrett name checks the pillars of the "Blair Witch" myth: there's " Elly Kedward," the woman from Blair, MD who was burned at the stake for crimes of "witchcraft" back in 1785, only to "return" as a ghost the following year there's " Eileen Treacle," a settler of Burkittsville, MD who drowned after a white hand reportedly yanked her into the Tappy East Creek and there's " Rustin Parr," a serial killer of children who acted "on instruction" from the "Blair Witch." In Blair Witch, six campers retrace Heather, Michael, and Josh's hike through the Black Hills, only to discover that the demonic forces are even fiercer than legend told.

This includes the TV documentaries The Burkittsville 7and Shadow of the Blair Witch (both directed by The Blair Witch Project production designer Ben Rock), the epistolary novel The Blair Witch Project: A Dossier, and The Blair Witch Cult, a book said to have been written in 1809 (it wasn't) and put on display at the Maryland Historical Society museum in 1991 (also bullshit).
To nestle it into the "Blair Witch" mythology that provoked so many imaginations starting in 1999, Barrett culled from backstory-building material written around the releases of The Blair Witch Project and its 2000 sequel, Book of Shadows.

That was really enticing."Īnyone who caught Blair Witch this weekend knows the movie is full of violent paranormal activity and theory-worthy twists. And as a fan, I always wanted to see a more direct sequel to what they were building in the first film. "But there were ancillary materials that took the mythology in a different direction.
"If there was just the The Blair Witch Project and nothing else, if it was just a classic found-footage horror film, I don't think I would have been as excited ," Barrett tells Thrillist. That was a risk Barrett, the new movie's writer, was willing to take. Seasoned horror veterans Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett saw an opportunity to add to the Blair Witch Project mythology, but for their sequel, Blair Witch, to do justice, they had to play in the sandbox without kicking up too much sand. Audiences never saw who or what attacked the trio an unseen force "knocked" the camera out of Heather's hands and that was that. Though the 1999 movie is littered with mythological hints, Heather, Michael, and Josh's search for answers amounted to their untimely deaths. This post contains massive spoilers for Blair Witch, the Blair Witch Project sequel that arrived in theaters this weekend.Īnyone hoping for The Blair Witch Project to reveal its mystery could go screw.
