Aside from one character gashing her foot wide open while crossing a river, it's pretty much just like 'The Blair Witch Project.' Once the sun goes down, they make camp. Up to their ears in technology, including a GPS tracker, several smart phones and a bunch of back-up batteries, their first day is rather uneventful. The group of six head into the woods with eight cameras: four ear-mounted, two handheld, one surveillance, and one iPad-controlled drone.

Their intent is to capture new freaky footage that they can post online to their blog. Upon meeting him, the conspiracy theorist only agrees to take them if he and his girlfriend are allowed to tag along for the entire trip. To ensure that they're following the right trail, they contact the YouTuber who found the new footage and uploaded it to the internet, who offers to take them to the location where the tape was found. Offering their moral support, three friends agree to join him and head into the forest in search of closure.

When recently-found footage of the witch's house shows up online, he believes that the footage is from his sister and that she's still alive. Set in 2014, 'Blair Witch' follows the younger brother of one of the original missing characters who is still haunted by the disappearance of his sister. Set in 1994, 'The Blair Witch Project' followed three independent filmmakers on their shoot into a haunted forest in search of a rumored witch. It wasn't needed and may have appeared more like overhyping than anything, but it was a fun surprise (although ' 10 Cloverfield Lane' had already done the same thing earlier in 2016).Д¬ompletely ignoring 'Book of Shadows,' 'Blair Witch' is a direct sequel to the original film. I suppose that this was their way of adding an element of surprise to the film's release that was somewhat in the vein of the original's gimmicky approach. Originally known as 'The Woods,' Lionsgate and the filmmakers kept its Blair Witch canonology a secret until a special screening and announcement at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. Aside from a final act that delivers in a way that original never could, sadly, the legs it chose to stand on were the same as the original. Taking into account that the first sequel, 'Book of Shadows,' is entirely loathed, this new 'Blair Witch' had to find its own two legs to stand on. Two, going hand-in-hand with that, it was released with a brilliant marketing campaign that made moviegoers believe that it truly consisted of footage from three never-found filmmakers who became lost in the woods. Love it or hate it, ' The Blair Witch Project' did two things that will forever lock its place into the history books, both of which were like lightning in a bottle and can never be recaptured: one, it was the first mainstream film to be shot in the now-exhausted found footage format. The 'Blair Witch' franchise is tough material to tackle.
