It makes you wonder why, if director Adam Wingard ( You're Next, The Guest) had enough skill to generate chills, he couldn't have made a smart, emotionally engaging movie. The shaky-cam footage can get tiresome, but the film's stark lighting, spooky woods, and even spookier cabin at the climax are actually, genuinely hair-raising, relying more on goosebumps than on jump-scares. Ideas like a flying drone camera and the two locals initially faking some scares are dropped or never explored they seem more like desperate filler than actual content. The characters' reason for going into the woods is ridiculous, and the friends are selfish and treat each other callously.
Blair Witch has more in common with the rushed, boneheaded Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) than it does with the crafty, groundbreaking original.
In October of 1994 three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary. The scariest movie of all time is a true story. As it grows more unreal, this "threequel" to the original Blair Witch Project becomes intensely scary, but it's undone by a weak set-up and irritatingly dumb, shallow characters. AKA: A Bruxa de Blair, Spain (The Blair Witch Project (El proyecto de la bruja de Blair)).
