The shaky-cam footage can get tiresome, but the film's stark lighting, spooky woods, and even spookier cabin at the climax are actually, genuinely hair-raising, relying more on goosebumps than on jump-scares. The Blair Witch Project In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary called 'The Blair Witch Project'. A group of friends (James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Corbin Reid) and their two guides encounter the legendary Blair Witch while exploring the Black Hills Forest in Maryland. Ideas like a flying drone camera and the two locals initially faking some scares are dropped or never explored they seem more like desperate filler than actual content. The characters' reason for going into the woods is ridiculous, and the friends are selfish and treat each other callously. Tales tell of a witch who was responsible for the death of many children. Three students, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael William, are heading up to Maryland’s Black Hill Forest to shoot a documentary on the local legend, The Blair Witch. Blair Witch has more in common with the rushed, boneheaded Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) than it does with the crafty, groundbreaking original. As these words fade silently from the screen, an uneasiness begins to settle in. As it grows more unreal, this "threequel" to the original Blair Witch Project becomes intensely scary, but it's undone by a weak set-up and irritatingly dumb, shallow characters.
