Blair Witch (film)
Blair Witch is a 2016 American found footage supernatural horror film directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett.
It is the third and final film in the" Blair Witch" series and a direct sequel to the 1999 film" The Blair Witch Project", ignoring the events of its 2000 follow- up film, given the events of that film being a film within a film.
" Blair Witch" stars James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Corbin Reid, Valorie Curry and Wes Robinson.
The film, shot in a found footage style, follows a group of college students and their local guides who venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the prior disappearance of Heather Donahue, the sister of one of the characters.
Development of the film began in September 2009, when Ed Sánchez and Daniel Myrick announced their intent to produce a third" Blair Witch" film.
The film was a sequel to the first film, would potentially contain the actors from the first film in some context, and would not reference any of the events from" Book of Shadows".
In 2011, Sánchez remarked that further development on a sequel depended on getting Lionsgate to approve the idea and for his and Myrick's schedule to match up.
The film went into development hell.
By January 2015, a third" Blair Witch" was still in talks.
Sanchez stated that the film was" inevitable".
Initially, the film's connection to the" Blair Witch" franchise was kept secret, with the film having been shot under the fake title," The Woods".
In July 2016, it was revealed at the 2016 San Diego Comic- Con that the film marketed with the faux- title" The Woods" actually turned out to be the sequel" Blair Witch".
The film was screened at San Diego Comic- Con on July 22, 2016 and premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, before being theatrically released in the United States on September 16 by Lionsgate.
" Blair Witch" received mixed reviews, with critics noting it as an improvement on" Book of Shadows" while criticizing the writing and special effects.
While the film grossed$ 45 million against a budget of$ 5 million, it was considered a box office disappointment, given that the original film had grossed nearly$ 250 million in 1999 against a budget of$ 60,000.
