I'm Glad I Never Get To See The Witch

Rating: 6/10 (15 March 2017)

I really like how this movie starts. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez did a good job with the realization of characters. Then providing us this absence of horror, adding some "heyyahs" in there. The town folk all seem out of there minds, circus-like, and seem to all know important facts about the "The Blair Witch Project." One guys says that a lot of people say the woods are "all haunted," then takes it back and says there not. The part about the camera and how it works was a great add on. I like how they are all friends, too. I'm just picturing these students getting together and saying, "you guys want to go to the woods and make a really cool film." The way this film starts out really makes the film fun and interesting. I know I already said that, but it does. It has a very simple compositional-style and flow too. Everyone is lost in this film, unfortunately, and cannot be found. - Because they were lost before, and now they decided to make a documentary about a WITCH. Think of the joy of being in a really cool film, lol. Hell, I would have liked to do this project with them. And, I like how the light in this film bounces off things such as, the suns rays. Heather has a good voice for the main narrator of the project. Her take is, "I don't know" when asked if the witch exists. She is like the facilitator of a stupidity. The map adds a great conflict piece, a disappointment. I mean could this film be better? could it be set in a mental asylum? Myrick and Sanchez decide to add some good ideas in this film, like the rock piles, her puppy dog beanie, colors of the tent. You sense the discomfort of the actors. They should've brought some broccoli along. These people are film students, but did their teacher assign them to this group, or do these people randomly know each other? Do we actually get to see them light a fire? Just like we don't actually see what Heather sees. The film draws good comparisons to insanity vs. feeling fatigued in the woods, all while disorientation is setting in. Heather says that "movies are all she has left." So, we wonder what happened to her art before? We are not sure what is wrapped in the bundle wrapped with Josh's necklace. So the film end when Heather is knocked out by something we never get to see. We know that two cameras must have been recovered. Great found footage type film.
