In reality those 87 minutes are occupied with unique filmmaking and a beautiful script which amalgamates for one of the scariest and most intense films since Alfred Hitchcock gave us a reason to not shower in 1960. But the film is not without its flaws either. A simple reality check can lead to some questionable aspects. And the production doesn't have the ability that Hitchcock had to make the film stick with you. The urban legend that is the Blair Witch is like most urban legends, in that it is confusing and unclear.
Different people have different stories, and almost nothing is documented.
The little that is known tells us that the Blair Witch has taken victims in the past, and is favorable to torturous, dismembering techniques. That is, if there is a Blair Witch in the first place, something a respectably sized faction questions. The unknowingly doomed group heads off into the Maryland woods after doing some brief interview work in Burkittsville, Maryland, where the town of Blair used to stand. At the core of the tumultuous relationship is Heather's authoritarian directing work. The footage is intentionally shaky, co-directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanches' attempt to give the film the ultimate realistic feel.
