she cute
i hated seeing her cry. i wish i could've hugged her and told her it'd be alright bros
it wasnt tho
she's dead anon
No, she isn't. She did change her name, tho. Mid-20s Heather was peak cute though.
No the guy in corner at the end jumped her and ate her SOUL
She would’ve told you to frick off, simp.
she probably stinked at that moment bruh
They were trapped in an endless forest dimension. The map wouldn’t have helped.
Then how would they have found their camera?
The forest reverted back to normal once the witch claimed her victims. Their footage was found buried in the old foundation of the house.
The 2 dudes tampered with her compass and emotionally exhausted her to the point where it would've been extremely easy to kill her and make their innocence look believable on camera.
>fan theories
Just stop.
>this theory again
Watch the promotional mockumentary The Curse of the Blair Witch. The witch is 100% a real entity.
Then how do they keep ending up at the same places while moving in a single direction?
They hid the actors for weeks during the promotion of this film. It was smart marketing but manipulative to make the audience believe these people actually disappeared. I remember seeing the actors go on late night with letterman after it was released and being real disappointed. You gotta remember most people didnt have personal computers back then or internet. Everything was word of mouth and you believed things you saw on tv at face value.
Simple critical thinking would lead you to the conclusion that real police evidence wouldn’t be edited into a narrative structure and released nationwide in theaters, anon.
lmfao
>You gotta remember most people didnt have personal computers back then or internet.
1. Not true
2. BWP came out in 1999, not the early 80s, moron.
Settle down. Most people didnt have personal computers in 1999. It wasnt until the advent of smart phones that everyone was connected. Search engines were in their infancy. People were still using goto.com and ask jeeves. Even if you had a computer you couldnt be on it all day because it was dial up. TV was still the primary source of information.
Not every child was in the GATE program like you. Most kids dont understand the intricacies of chain of custody.
>Most people didnt have personal computers in 1999. It wasnt until the advent of smart phones that everyone was connected. Search engines were in their infancy.
How old were you in 1999? That’s completely untrue.
Only 18% of housholds had internet in 1997. By 2000 it was 40% still less than half. So my statement that most people didnt have pc's is true. Get a grip on reality and calm down a bit.
If you were hoodwinked into thinking the movie was real, you were either really young at the time or stupid. End of story.
We get it big brain.
What I'm saying is we went into the movie thinking it was real because that was what the marketing wanted you to believe. Like I said even going so far as to hide the actors and not let them out in public. After you saw the movie you didnt believe it was real. If you wanted to see a movie you had to go watch it or buy a bootleg vhs. There was no napster or limewire. Only the most nerdy kids knew how to use p2p sharing to get cam rips. It was a different time
>If you wanted to see a movie you had to go watch it or buy a bootleg vhs.
Or buy it on DVD the following year with commentary and alternate endings. It was one of the first DVDs I owned in fact.
t. 40yo boomer
Owning a pc had nothing to do with having internet back then. Some providers were still charging by the hour.
If you remember anything about 1999 you remember everyone thought the world was gonna shut down at midnight on december 31st because of Y2K
I still have no idea what that was about, it was like some weird social experiment. I remember stores having "Y2K survival kits" too.
The basic premise was that all computers registered dates as mm/dd/yy so when 99 switched to 00 all hell was gonna break loose because all the computer systems would reset all values to 0.
>storage space used to be very low
>data needed to be shrank
>Date was one such possible change, instead of including the century (1999) just the year was saved (99)
>Software coders didn't expect their work to be in use that long
>'Year 2000'
>Rolls over from 99 but because theres no century data stored the system assumes it looped back to 1990
>catastrophic system malfunctions world wide as planes fall out of sky
It was just a spaghetti coding error
No one thought this. Everyone thought it was a stupid and joked about it
>You gotta remember most people didnt have personal computers back then or internet
why do zoomers talk about things they are clueless about?
Zoomers think the late 90s were the Stone Age because we didn’t have smartphones or social media yet. Mind blowing.
used to, I was born in 2001 and it was mindblowing to me when I learnt about the ARPANET and bulletin board systems, before that I thought people only had internet access since 1996 or something along with personal computers. I mean sure I knew that computers existed prior but not any sort of long range telecommunication networks that were easily accessible (BB systems were probably not that accessible but what do I know).
For this theory to work, the two guys would have to:
1. Kill Heather
2. Hide the body
3. Somehow demolish the house and leave no trace of the structure
4. Bury all the footage in the foundation and make it look like it had been undisturbed for years
5. Leave their car behind and disappear without a trace
That's a retcon from the new movie that was dogshit, that was never the original intention
Yes it was. The house couldn’t have existed in normal reality. Their footage was found buried in its decades old foundation.
There ya go. It was a spell the witch used as a trap.
No proofs of supernatural
the fact that this movie even existed and succeeded is hilarious, its literally 3 morons walking around a forest for 2 days and people actually paid money to go to a theatre and see this shit.
gen x were the last creative generation
Give the generation baiting a rest for one fricking day
was a good movie
This where were the superheroes and ironic meta gags?
why was he pissing in a corner?
He didn’t even have much to drink, how could he piss? Typical Hollywood bullshit.
Paranormal Activity? All the theatrically released found footage shit that came after? Idiot.
Let me guess, you're a younggay who wasn't even alive when TBWP was even released in theaters?
Go sniff your own farts you artgay. I'm watching a movie for fun, not to read in-between the lines and get scared on a metaphysical level.
So you were born after it came out. Thanks.
Not buying it. See
and explain yourself.
They both fricking sucked, I was born 1991 and I saw it in theatre with my cousin and dad the weekend it came out
It was a bit spooky when you're 7 but if you watch it or see it again now you just laugh. Paranormal Activity was even more moronic, why didn't they just move like lmao?
Frick you, ugly.
So you’re only pretending not to understand why those movies were successful, which undermines the premise of your original post
. Eat shit.
Its fricking stupid and you're fricking stupid. It's moronic that people went to a theatre and paid money to watch HI-8 footage of 3 rockheads fricking around in the woods for like what, 2 hours? "OHHH NOOOOOO, NOT THE HOUSE OF SPOOKY DEATH!! AHHHH IM SCREAMING OF DYING!!!!!"
Frick you, LOSER. Eat the peanuts from my shit you fricking LOSER.
I accept your concession, see you at the next A24 release.
So you’ll be going to the next A24 release despite claiming you don’t like these types of horror movies? I don’t think you thought this through, anon.
At least we have all those marvel movies nowadays, right?
>why didn't they just move
Have you seen the movie?
Not him, but I think about alternatives a lot. Maybe they could’ve gone to a hotel room where there was only a small amount of space for the demon to frick with them instead of a whole house?
It probably would have possessed Katie no matter what
It was an invisible demon, the only question is why they didn’t just find another priest that wasn’t a fricking pussy to exorcise it, they call one who runs away, do you know how many priests there are in the United States? I’d keep calling them, and calling them, until the one cool one showed up.
>filtered this hard
>seething this hard
I'd tell you to have a nice day but any troony this mad belongs to the 41% anyway.
Sneed my wiener Black person
>admitting to not only being moronic but 30+ years of moronation
born in 1993, watched it recently and I really liked it
also i'm transgender lol
why are you even in the thread, shouldnt you be on reddit posting about your favorite marbel quips?
It was well done though.
It might be hard to believe now but a lot of people thought this movie was real.
Nah, not really. The marketing made it seem that way though.
The marketing absolutely worked.
Don't underestimate the stupidity of other people.
We live in the age of COVID
It might be hard to believe now but a lot of people thought COVID was real
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT WASN'T MY SLOW BURN, SUBTEXT DRIVEN, A24 SELF AWARE INDIE SUBGENRE BLEND OF HORROR
Black person it was like 9 dollars tops to see this movie in 99. You act like they dropped 40 to watch a movie on a sub service they pay monthly for to watch some capeshit. It was simple: it was 90 minutes of bullshit to entertain you. I wish people like you would just fricking die, you don’t get it, you never will. Shit wasn’t that fricking complicated back then.
Well said. Young morons criticize everything as if it existed in their current time.
I like the theory that the movie really wasn't about some "witch" but really about her ex and his friend killing her.
Yeah, but it was the first viral marketing campaign There was literal radio ads that talked about 3 people missing in Maryland.
>I like the theory that the movie really wasn't about some "witch" but really about her ex and his friend killing her.
See
. That theory has always been stupid.
Yeah, that seems plausible.
No it doesn’t. Fan theories always collapse under the slightest bit of critical thinking.
It's just a theory, and I like it. You don't have to get so ass damaged.
It’s a stupid theory that makes no sense and you should feel bad.
No.
In this thread, unironically zoomers.
8t was well acted, mysterious and believable. I loved it.
The movie was great and created a genre. Nothing has topped it.
DER Zoomer strikes again
not enough white man bad A24 cuck kino for you?
post the clip of her peeing in the woods
i dont reckon this memory, pee you say? Interesting...
If I found kids alone in the forest I'd try to kidnap one at night and use her body as a storage box.
>kids
What?
>ARHHHHHH IM IN THE WOODS?????? AND IM LOST???? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
dumb
See
Why didn't they just stop and ask for directions
Ask whom?
The VVitch
One of the cute lil stick figures
I want to go south on her if you catch my meaning
How do you kill a Blair Witch?
The Mennonites actually hunted them.
The old time technique was a stake through the heart like a vampire.
A Witch Bottle, apparently.
What, like Glasgow style? Just ram a Buckie bottle in her face?
I guess that would work, and be hilarious, but apparently it's a bottle you put near your house if a witch cursed you and it would kill her. Something moronic like that.
Danceoff bro
I wouldn't try to kill it a single time, I would listen. And that's the one thing no one did.
East? I though you said Weast.
bump
Why is this movie so rewatchable? Every half a year or so I go back to it and it's still comfy kino.
did they frick?
Comentary is good too if you have the disc.
I actually left the theatre when the guy said he kicked the map into the creek just from how moronic it was and the massive headache I had from the DOTS and Pepsi.
Refer back to
Refer back to
That’s not a fan theory. The movie is blatantly paranormal.
>It's TAPE!
I could tell even then that it was just a piece of crap; diecast and very loose.
Was the Scooby Doo tie-in good?
It was a great parody, but people calling it "scary" has always got a laugh out of me.
It’s worth noting that they went back and filmed alternate endings that were more blatantly supernatural once the movie was picked up for theatrical distribution. In the end, they decided the 'facing the corner' ending from the original shoot worked best.
Started the found footage horror genre too.
>BWP starting found footage
>Not knowing about Cannibal Holocaust, McPherson Tape and The Last Broadcast
Fair point, although Cannibal Holocaust has a framing device structure where the characters watch the footage versus BWP which is presented entirely as the located footage.
Yeah though it clearly set the ground rules for the genre in the second half which is basically all found footage
None of those other movies were mainstream.
They may have been found footage, but they didn't start shit. Blair Witch Project caused an explosion of these movies that are still being made today.
yes, because they realized they can make cheaply produced movies and make big profits very revolutionary and never done before ever
YOU FRICKING prostitute
Yeah they’re all worse than what we got
The witch is real, don’t know why there’s any debate over it
The one with a seemingly possessed Mike facing Heather is the best alternate, but yeah, everything else doesn’t work right.
The book they published is really cool with police reports, newspaper clippings and crime photos. Also The reboot "Blair Witch" is much better for zoomies to understand.
Why does Cinemaphile have such a low IQ? Is it the water?
Too many ESLs. Same deal with the other high traffic boards.
Only known footage of the house while it was still there. Skip to around 10:30:
This is cool, I'm watching from the beginning. Thanks for sharing
This movie makes me think Gen X and boomers might have been moronic
>DUDE WE FOUND THE LOST FOOTAGE OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A WITCH
>BUT RATHER THAN RELEASE IT TO NEWS NETWORKS OR THE FEDERAL AGENCY TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE IT, WE’RE GOING TO RELEASE IT IN MOVIE THEATRES
Because it was the first of its kind and had a strong viral marketing(the first) campaign about it. People actually thought it was real for a while.
would going east all day not lead out the forest if the wanted go in the forest?
Why wouldn't they just sleep through the day then wake up at night pumped up and ready to frick some shit up? Whatever is banging on the tent has to do so physically meaning it can be touched back. I would've waited until it started that shit up then ran outside swinging and kicking. I'd go pantsless too so I could piss and shit while I'm roundhousing their ass and cover them in my own excrement for extra humiliation.
Horror movies suck because the "protagonists" are always weak scared pussies. I want to see a horror movie with guys like Brock Lesnar getting fricked with by some demon and power bombing its ass through a table.
t. guy who would promptly shit his pants and run away in a similar situation
I'm convinced. I'd also like to see a movie with pumped up frat bros trying to punch on with ghosts and demons. Totally not a comedy, though.
39 year old boomer here
people absolutely thought it was actual spooky footage and it was marketed that way. it wasn't marketed as 'omg an actual crime with a real monster' it was just kind of marketed as creepy ass footage shot by some dumbasses
lightning in a bottle and all that. couldn't happen again.
>it was just kind of marketed as creepy ass footage shot by some dumbasses
No it wasn’t.
yes it was you moron. frick you.
Absolutely not. You sound like a moron.
It pretty much was.
How so?
Because it was about 3 goobers getting lost in a haunted forest looking for some witch. The marketing and public reaction carried that movie. They weren't made out to be the smartest bunch.
It was THE original viral marketing campaign.
>started as a website adult ARG style mystery shit
>breadcrumbed a long time prior to release
>leaked snippets to forums and fan sites
>started word of mouth rumors
>missing persons posters all over college campuses with the web address on it
They built up an entire mythos around it much like the moth man or other cryptids.
BWP2 sucked major ass but I did like the time/memory loss frickery that made it seem like everyone was going crazy. I remember one part where they find footage of some insane cult blood sacrifice orgy party they had and had just totally blacked out.
The new BWP was better than 2 but worse than the original. The one weirdo guy going crazy and wandering around the woods for 40 years or whatever was a cool idea even though his old guy effects looked like shit. I laughed that the black girl just constantly had bad shit happen to her almost instantly.

Book of Shadows apparently went through some last minute script rewrites and reshoots. I think it could be more coherent if it got re-edited.
>“There was about a three-week period where we got a lot of calls asking did we find the missing people yet? Have we solved the murder?” said Lt. Col. Scot Hopkins, a representative of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, which presides over Burkittsville. Hopkins came to town to talk to us about the Blair Witch legacy.
>The film had been advertised as a true story. Some of the marketing stunts included passing out missing person fliers and circulating photos from fake police reports of the fictional murders.
>“People were convinced and convicted to the fact that it was real and there were real missing people,” Hopkins said. “They came from all over the place to try to do stuff to find the people and help out.”
People inexperienced with navigating in a forest often think they're going "east all day" because of the position of the sun, and actually never went due east but meandered continuously.
How come? Would following the sun not work?
>mfw it was just the two dudes torturing and then killing her
raped her too probably. I would have.
Daily delivery of tampons and smokes stopped dead on day 3.
>check the compass once or twice
>go "east" in circles all day
many such cases
Most Lovecraftian movie that exists, you can argue me but if you know Lovecraft you know this to be true.
This is how you should do Mountains of Madness and whatevers.
