Blair Witch

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Wtf? This was a one gimmick flick. That gimmick has been done to the point of not only parody, but self-parody.

At least something appears to happen in this one.

I was listening to the Flickering Myth podcast while mowing this weekend and they discussed this film. Apparently, this was originally a movie called The Woods. However, suits thought slapping "Blair Witch" on it would earn it a few more dollars, ala 10 Cloverfield Lane, which was originally called The Cellar, and also, Valencia.

This is correct. They add slightly more reality fuckery, but this is basically the same movie as the first except now they have SD cards and a drone instead of video tape.
