And then, of course, there are the unholy noises coming from the oppressive dark of night.īlair Witch follows virtually the same beats as its forebear but with far less verve, ramping up the visual and aural chaos until it assails the viewer. The overzealous Lane and Talia are guilty of some red herrings and have a falling out with the rest of the group. Ashley (Corbin Reid) cuts her foot while crossing a creek, and when Peter (Brandon Scott) later changes her bandage, there appears to be something sinister about the wound. Just like the original, things soon start going south. Soon, they meet up with Burkittsville townies Lane (Wes Robinson) and Talia (Valorie Curry) and traipse into the woods, from which we know-based on the conceit of the found footage subgenre established by its predecessor- they will never return. They party together, setting the tone with creepy-sounding technological glitches and faux jump-scares even in an exuberant club setting. Prompted by a YouTube clip purporting to show a mysterious reflection of a woman in a cabin near where Heather disappeared, James convinces film-student friend Lisa (Callie Hernandez) and two other pals to join him in hopes of tracking down his long-lost sister. Their latest horror film, however, remains self-serious in tone and entirely bleak.įollowing the obligatory title card claiming the film’s authenticity, we’re introduced to James (James Allen McCune), the younger brother of Heather, the film student whose drippy nose stole the show last time. When equipped with earpiece cameras, GPS and a drone, there’s no danger of getting lost due to someone kicking a map into the river, right?įilmed for $5 million-which is a fortune compared to the original’s shoestring budget but is still a very small investment by Hollywood standards- Blair Witch is helmed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, frequent collaborators who brought us the darkly comedic home-invasion slasher horror You’re Next. In addition to providing new camera angles, this slavish sequel also doubles the number of would-be documentarians who hike into the malevolent vortex of the Black Hills Forest, as six intrepid young people decide to follow the footsteps of the doomed filmmaking trio whose found footage started it all.
