Nothing happens for 90 minutes

blair witch was 1999 found-footage before the internet era where now social media addicts will debunk shit before the credits even roll, people thought they could see hidden things, and would swear the "witch" was in the movie if you looked hard enough and that was the selling point

>imagination for an entity that doesn't even exist
Who cares?

Was there actually a witch or monster?

based plot point mental midget

I accidentally watched this movie in the most kino way possible for the first time, on a big CTR monitor with top notch earphones in the dark at night. I couldn't imagine watching this with anyone else in the room, yapping and not paying attention. You're supposed to watch it like a police detective watching a snuff film for clues.

I don't think they ever showed it
just the guy all shaken up at the end

Yes, I know that, but I mean was there soemthing there? Did the characters themselves see it? I know it isn't shown to the audience.

Because of the "the true horror lies in the untold/unknown" meme widely perpetuated by plebbitors and readily gobbled by normies in a pathetic attempt to appear intelligent/perspective. In reality the movie was a worthless waste of time that completely squandered an interesting mechanic with its "the more we leave to your imagination the better" philosophy which is actually just pseudo intellectual hogwash widely circle jerked by basement dwelling autists that work a 9-5 at Wendy's and suffer a crippling obssession with BDSM porn on account of the relentless bullying they faced for being retarded in their formative years.

I'm begging you to have sex

oh, I think they only hear it and see those rocks
for you to chock up if it was some shared delusion shit, some mountain disorientation shit or something supernatural

I can't remember if it was for some school project or something, but I think she "forced" the others to come with her
either of them could be pulling bullshit with the stones and noises at night, like, one of them went crazy and threw the map away maybe to make drama or he was genuinely tired of being there

is this the only good horror movie? its certainly the only one i've ever found remotely disturbing. well, this and the human centipede

This.

>seeing the monster is so much spookier

I will give the nuwitch this though, that otherworldly cabin at the end was very kino. I wish the whole movie hadve been in that creepy place.

Nice projection.

The entity was abstract. It was a metaphor for rape. As in the two dudes raped the bitch in the woods

I liked the scene where they snap the voodoo doll, crumbling the hippy chick then run away in terror as the forest comes alive.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve watched this many times.

It’s pretty neat honestly. It’s the one and only YouTube video I’ve ever found that shows the house very shortly after the movie came out and before it became a huge hit.

This movie was 10/10

They actually wrote a scene where they would show witch when they were flushed out of the tent in the middle of the night, but cut it because it just would have looked silly.

>Movie literally released years before reddit existed.
>”haha shitty movie just memed by reddit”

I’m just assuming your too young to know how fucking sensational this thing was

It a bunch of middle class white people and something bad happens to them, in Maryland. That’s why it’s scary. It could be you.

It’s the same reason people always try and include “Open Water” on horror movie lists. Except in this case, the movie actually did have a Witch and was real horror

The only thing that can't really be explained by people fucking with them was the river

Yes, obviously. Nobody ever though otherwise until a shitty reddit “fan theory” said it was just the guys fucking with her, which made no sense.
In terms of credibility it ranks with [Insert Sitcom Character] is actually insane and the whole show is his delusions

This. It's not just the suspense, it's the genuine raggedness of the actors from walking around the woods all day, the amateur handling of the non-HD cameras, the escalation as they go from being annoyed at missing work to realizing they're nearly out of food, and the discovery of very subtle unnerving signs of not being alone (the cairns, the stick figures.)

If you're that pissed you didn't see the witch, be pissed at that shitheap Blair Witch movie that moved Wingard and Barrett into hack status. You have every crappy cliche "spooky/shocking for the sake of it" trope, and you STILL don't get to see the witch. Just a bad looking CGI stick figure thing.

It makes fine sense

It doesn't. The movie foreshadows what really happened when they're interviewing the townspeople. Josh was possessed by the witch and killed them, like the guy who killed all those kids in the house.

Yes. Found footage and viral marketing have been done to death so zoomers don’t understand.
But it actually is a good standalone film, unlike Poltergeist which totally sucks now that it’s archaic CGI effects are no longer impressive.
And their marketing actually did build up a whole mythology that was very well fleshed out, unlike JJ with Cloverfield which developed and hyped a whole veil of mystery which was supposed to carry an entire franchise but then promptly dropped the premise and story once the first movie was done.

Zoomer pls go

any you guys watched this?

People who say
>nothing happens
about movies are brainlets.

A yes, a meme perpetuated by an internet community that didn't exist back then

Whe it came out I remember not knowing fully that it was fake, so it was like you were really watching footage of some kids getting lost in the woods and terrorized by some supernatural force and then murdered. To be fair though, even after knowing it was fake I still found it to be an entertaining movie to watch. The way it progresses is really good and the performances are actually not bad. And it has a really specific aesthetic that was unique at the time.

No it doesn’t. The film does not give a single reason for anybody to believe Josh and Mike were villains.
There was no motive, there was no reason to cop to kicking the map in the river. There’s no reason they would want to wander around the woods for 5 days without food or cigarettes. The intro makes it very obvious Mike and Josh were also never seen again. There was the cut scene that was actually going to show the Witch. There’s also literally everyone involved just sitting around for 15 years not ever mentioning what the movie was really about.

It scared the shit out of me but it's not a particularly good movie.

The 2016 sequel was better.

It has some legit spooky scenes.

>nothing happens
You have a small brain

Not really

Could they not just have followed the river?

have they ever actually shown the witch, apparently the monster in the 2016 remake wasn't her (supposedly the it was what was left of the girl from the first movie).

You're an idiot
