Our Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series often covers older films. You may have noticed that we have a particular fondness for movies from the 1980s. But occasionally we cover more recent releases as well, and the movie we’re looking at with today’s episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was just released six years ago. The film in question is Blair Witch (watch it Here), and you can find out all about it by watching the video embedded above.
Directed by Adam Wingard from a screenplay written by Simon Barrett, Blair Witch is, of course, a follow-up to The Blair Witch Project. This one has the following synopsis:
A young man and his friends venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mystery surrounding his missing sister. Many believe her disappearance 17 years earlier is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch.

There are certain horror movies that I’ve totally obsessed about, one of them being The Blair Witch Project. I watched the documentaries released around it and loved the mythology that extended the enjoyment of the film. This is why I was excited when Blair Witch was revealed. Now that we finally have a true sequel to the original, can it live up to what we expect?
The main question about Blair Witch has to be, how could it happen again? The answer is a glimpse on some found footage showing what appears to be Heather from the original movie. Getting together a group of friends with the latest video technology, James (James Allen McCune) decides to venture into the Black Hills Forest in search of his sister.

2Nd Update (9/23, 3:23 Pdt): An earlier version of this article listed Elle Evans as the actress who plays the title role in The Love Witch. That distinction in fact goes to Samantha Robinson. We regret the error. Update (9/22, 11:37 Pm Pdt): The same day this article was published, Paramount pushed back the release date for Rings from October 28 to February 3, 2017. Original Article: Fall has traditionally been viewed as the prime time of year for the horror film, but this summer was actually a pretty good one for the genre, with movies like The Conjuring 2, Lights Out, and the surprise smash Don't Breathe doing gangbusters business in the midst of blockbuster season. But the year's not over yet! With September in full swing, there are a number of worthwhile (and, yes, questionable) titles looming on the release calendar over the next three months.

Chicago – The forest is an elusive environment that can hold hope for one person or isolation for another. You can enter the forest for some Thoreauvian wisdom, but end up being engulfed by its overwhelming monotony. As we revisit the world of “Blair Witch”, we are reminded that the found footage genre has come a long way from its humble origins, but perhaps some footage is better off not “found.”
Rating: 2.0/5.0
Adam Wingard is no novice when it comes to creating tense atmospheres in horror/thriller films. With films like “You’re Next” and “The Guest”, Wingard has already proven his mastery over several key aesthetics necessary to the horror genre. In “Blair Witch”, he repeats all of them while also adding some of the more cheapening effects to recreate the once novel experience that was “The Blair Witch Project” and gives it the Hollywood treatment.

The 1999 original terrified audiences with its ‘found footage’ shtick, but there are few surprises left down in the woods today
In the mid-1890s, Parisians reportedly ran screaming from the Lumière brothers’ experimental short film L’arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat, terrified that the train coming towards them was about to run them down. A century later, cinemagoers were traumatised by The Blair Witch Project, unable to determine whether its faux-documentary story was fact or fiction. Kickstarting the “found footage” boom that has dominated 21st-century horror, directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez brilliantly reminded us that cinema’s greatest trick has always been in convincing us that what we are watching is “real”.
Distributors Artisan famously picked up the no-budget The Blair Witch Project, with its unknown cast, for $1m and watched it make hundreds of millions worldwide. Now franchise inheritors Lionsgate have come searching for equally rich pickings.

When I reviewed the original The Blair Witch Project, it was March of 1999. I saw it in Austin, in the apartment of a couple of my friends, thanks to Harry Knowles, who had been sent a VHS copy of the film by the filmmakers during its Sundance run. I went to Austin in February, and Harry had been sitting on his copy, waiting for us to get to town. We were there for the third Quentin Tarantino film festival at the still-young Alamo Drafthouse, and on the last night of the festival, my friends and I were set to hit the road as soon as the movies ended. We were road-tripping, and between the four of us, we figured we’d be able to do the entire drive back to La straight through with no stops for sleep. Harry asked us not to leave town right after the film, though.

It seems quaint now, and that's a generous word for it. But when The Blair Witch Project debuted in 1999, horror movies felt a seismic jolt. Shot for peanuts ($60,000), the film tracked three film student tracking evil in the Maryland woods with camcorders. The alleged "found footage" showed virtually nothing — and scared us anyway. So much so that the film became a box-office sensation ($248 million worldwide) and spawned a gimmick that's been ripped off so many times its novelty is in tatters. The awful official sequel, 2000's Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, disappeared without a trace.

It’s scary walking in the foot prints of a legend. It’s not an easy task to try to tackle a sequel to one of the most iconic horror films ever made. Scratch that – one of the most iconic films ever made, period. You will never be able to catch the magic of the original. It was a once in a lifetime thing. It was an event. It was one of the first films to fully utilize the strength and broad reach of the internet (still in its infancy) to create a buzz that we now associate as viral marketing. I remember seeing the poster in the lobby of the theater one night and immediately going on the computer the next day to search what happened to these kids. Reading about these kids that disappeared and how their footage was found a year later sparked a level of intrigue...

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood’s real-life drama about airline pilot Sully (Warner Bros.) far surpassed all expectations, making nearly $10 million more than my prediction with an opening weekend of $35 million in 3,525 theaters, also making it one of the biggest openings for a movie opening the weekend after Labor Day. The Screen Gems thriller When the Bough Breaks disappointed compared to some of their similar releases, taking second place with around where we predicted with around $14 million. The lower profile animated film The Wild Life (Summit/Lionsgate) did end up in fifth place behind Don’t Breathe and Suicide Squad, but with a measly $3.3 million in 2,493 theaters. As expected, Relativity’s theatrical return with its own horror/thriller The Disappointments Room...

MaryAnn’s quick take…
An entirely superfluous attempt to recapture the magic of the original film. A remake masquerading as a sequel that goes nowhere and has nothing new to say. I’m “biast” (pro): liked the first film…
I’m “biast” (con): …but found footage is over
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Gather round, kiddies, and hear the tale of The Blair Witch Project. Oh, not the story in the film but the story of the film.
Way back in the 20th century — 1999, to be precise — a couple of indie filmmakers called Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez came up with the truly brilliant idea to make a movie on an ultra-low budget by giving cameras to three actors and setting them loose in the Maryland woods to improvise a “documentary” around an invented backstory about a search for the “true” story of a legendary local witch.

I think I can get behind this growing trend in Hollywood filmmaking to basically ignore sequels in a franchise that people don’t like. We’ve got talk, then, of a new Alien sequel that’ll scrub – or overlook – films three and four in that particular series. The X-Men franchise has rid itself of the story constraints of the likes of X-Men: The Last Stand, even to the point of taking a dig at the film (not wisely, as it turned out) in X-Men: Apocalypse.
And now the third Blair Witch film comes along, which may as well have Blair Witch 2 plastered on the poster, such is the non-existent shrift it gives to the staggeringly bad Blair Witch: Book Of Shadows.

It’s been more than 17 years since The Blair Witch Project arrived in theaters and changed the way Hollywood viewed horror, and filmmaking in general, for better or worse. Its low budget and hand-held camera style revolutionized the way studios would think — particularly after they saw their return on investment — in an effect felt all the way up to today. Equally ground-breaking in its successful and smartly marketed internet campaign, Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick’s feature was the sort of viral sensation simply not achievable in today’s saturated marketplace. After a quick sequel with none of the original’s imagination or creative freedom, 16 years later, enter director Adam Wingard’s Blair Witch. It’s a film that not only goes back to the basics, but seems to deliberately steal much of what made the original such a horrific treat.

If you’re asking why we need another found footage movie – let alone another sequel to The Blair Witch Project – then you don’t watch enough horror movies. The reality is simple. If it wasn’t now, then it’d happen sometime in the future. And if you’re complaining that Blair Witch doesn’t do anything “different,” well then you Certainly don’t watch enough found footage schlock, because if you sifted through the same handy-cam trash I do on a monthly – nay, Weekly – basis, you’d be thanking Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, not questioning their surprise horror sequel.
James Allen McCune stars as the brother to The Blair Witch Projects‘s Heather Donahue – also named James – who believes his long-lost sister is still alive after an ominous YouTube clip surfaces.

Blair Witch follows a group of college students who venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James' sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

"Who could've done this?" "You did this!" Lionsgate has unleashed another new full-length trailer for the new Blair Witch movie, which is actually a sequel/continuation of the breakout horror movie The Blair Witch Project from 1999. As reported when the movie first premiered at Comic-Con, this sequel was quietly made under the working title of The Woods before it unveiled to fans last month. Director & writer team Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett (of The Guest, You're Next) are behind this new film, which stars Corbin Reid, Wes Robinson, Valorie Curry, James Allen McCune and Callie Hernandez. This new trailer is scary as all hell, and it will make you afraid of going into the woods at night. Stay away from any tunnels.

A sequel to the excellent (but very dated) The Blair Witch Project might seem like a given in these days of franchises built on the backs of every successful film, but it has taken seventeen years for the sequel to come along. Luckily, Blair Witch looks every bit as scary as its predecessor. Based on the latest trailer and poster for the film, Blair Witch has a lot going for it.
Directed by Adam Wingard, Blair Witch sounds like a pretty standard sequel story, as a group of college students ventures back into the Black Hills Forest to uncover what happened to the original group of kids from the first film. Among them is James Donahue (James Allen McCune), the brother of Heather, one of the original characters to face that nasty witch. All mayhem breaks loose, as we knew it would, and the team faces yet another found-footage horror story.

Lionsgate recently unleashed its first TV spot for Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett’s Blair Witch Project sequel, hitting theaters this September.
Simply titled Blair Witch, the film features James Allen McCune as Heather Donahue’s brother, who’s obsessed with finding out what happened to his sister and her friends in the woods of Maryland in 1999. The new commercials take viewers back to the house where we last saw Mike propped up in the corner.

When it was revealed at Comic-Con that Wingard’s previously announced The Woods was in fact a Blair Witch sequel, fans had disparate opinions. While some folks were excited for a return to the Black Hills and vomit-inducing shaky-cam (particularly after Book Of Shadows), others were disappointed that Wingard and Barrett were making a franchise film.

Almost three decades on from the moment audiences were invited to partake in The Blair Witch Project, director Adam Wingard is on the verge of releasing the long-rumored Blair Witch sequel into theaters – and a pair of promos have landed online to prove it.

Ordering the likes of James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry, Corbin Reid and Wes Robinson to Black Hills woods, the follow-up begins with the discovery of a long lost tape, one that appears to shed light on the mysterious disappearance of a wayward sibling.

Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

2016-07-27T05:51:31-07:00'Blair Witch' Sequel Sneaks into Comic-Con
When Comic-Con attendees last week settled into their seats to watch a screening of a new horror film called The Woods, they had no idea that they were about to witness, arguably, the convention's biggest surprise. The Woods turned out to be a secretly produced sequel to the 1999 horror classic The Blair Witch Project, and by all accounts, the new film also turned out to be surprisingly good.
The film was shot and edited last year under the direction of Adam Wingard and his script collaborator Simon Barrett. The pair had previously worked together on The Guest and the critically acclaimed home-invasion horror flick You're Next. Their sequel to Blair Witch picks up where the original film left off and places its characters back in the forbidding woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, where numerous other young people have gone mysteriously missing.

It’s been less than a day since Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett threw me for a proverbial loop, and I am still sitting here absolutely stunned that their latest collaboration, formerly titled The Woods, was revealed to be Blair Witch, a second sequel to the highly successful 1999 landmark film, The Blair Witch Project. In a day and age where we seem to know practically everything about a movie often before we even see a first trailer, I must tip my hat to Lionsgate for making the unveiling of Blair Witch feel like a lovely homage to the brilliant marketing of the original film, because as obvious as it seems now, I simply did not see this coming.
Even better, this Blair Witch is everything you could possibly want and more if you’re a fan of Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick’s inaugural effort; it ties in seamlessly with...

In theaters September 16 is the upcoming Blair Witch. Lionsgate originally promoted it as The Woods when in reality it is a sequel to Blair Witch.
The film is helmed by director Adam Wingard (You’Re Next, The Guest, V/H/S, V/H/S/2), who has assembled an accomplished behind-the-scenes team that includes screenwriter and longtime collaborator Simon Barrett (You’Re Next, The Guest, V/H/S, V/H/S/2); producers Roy Lee (The Ring, The Strangers, The Grudge), Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Keith Calder, p.g.a. (You’Re Next, The Guest, Anomalisa), and Jess Calder, p.g.a. (You’Re Next, The Guest, The Devil’S Candy), ; and executive producers Jenny Hinkey, Daniel Myrick (director/writer, The Blair Witch Project), Eduardo Sanchez (director/writer, The Blair Witch Project) and Gregg Hale (producer, The Blair Witch Project).

Friday night at Comic-Con, horror fans were surprised to find out that Adam Wingard’s new project is an official sequel to “The Blair Witch Project.” Previously titled “The Woods” to throw people off, “Blair Witch” stars James Allen McCune as the brother of Heather Donahue, original character from the first film, who sets out to find out what happened to his missing sister. The movie was shown for the first time at the convention.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the film’s helmer talked about how they kept this project a secret for so long.
“‘The Woods’ was our working title,” said Wingard. “When we signed on to it, we knew that [the name] was eventually going to be changed. To us, it wasn’t even going to be part of the marketing. But I think Lionsgate made a really smart decision, using that.”

Previously revealed to be 'The Woods,' Adam Wingard's latest is actually a sequel to 'The Blair Witch Project!' Lionsgate has finally revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con and a new trailer is now below. The film stars James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson.
A group of college students once again venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

Consider the pitch: A group of college students uproot and plot course for their nearby woodland for a camping trip only to discover they are not alone. Toss in Pov camerawork and it’s all but certain that said project will draw comparisons to The Blair Witch Project, Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick’s micro-budget masterstroke that ushered in a new genre of horror back in ’99 – that is, unless said project has been in the works as a Blair Witch sequel all along.
Pulling that rug out from just about everyone was director Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next) who, along with screenwriter Simon Barret, had been toiling away at an eerie new horror flick known as The Woods. Unlike, say, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Wingard’s bait-and-switch actually involved rolling out a full-blown trailer for The Woods, which really makes this reveal all the more satisfying.

In a Hollywood marketing machine that dates films half-a-decade (or more) in advance with constant updates reminding you to be excited for their latest property, how do you genuinely surprise an audience? Lionsgate, perhaps taking a note from Paramount’s 10 Cloverfield Lane, has revealed at Comic-Con that the next film from You’re Next and The Guest director Adam Wingard, previously titled The Woods, is in fact an entirely different beast.
That’s right: it’s actually a surprise sequel to The Blair Witch Project. EW has profiled the making of the film, which follows James Allen McCune‘s character, the brother of Heather Donahue’s character from the original hit back in 1999. “They knew they wanted it to be a continuation of the first film, using Heather’s brother,” says Wingard. “That was what they came to us with.”
He adds, “From there, we were left to our own devices to figure it out.

The original The Blair Witch Project was a triumph of marketing as much as anything else. So consider it a tribute that The Guest director Adam Wingard pulled off a legitimately great piece of misdirection tonight, when a Comic-Con screening revealed that his previously teased backwoods monster thriller The Woods was, in fact, a sequel to the 1999 horror phenomenon, titled simply Blair Witch.
The trailer for the movie shows James Allen McCune as the supposed brother of the original movie’s ill-fated Heather, going off on his own found-footage adventure with his own crew of largely unlikable friends. (At least handheld camera technology seems to have gotten less relentlessly unpleasant in the last 17 years.) Blair Witch definitely looks more overtly supernatural than the original, what with all the barely seen creatures running around in the woods. Hopefully it’ll be able to avoid the over-the-top excess that made ...

It's a secret that has been under wraps for years, now Lionsgate has revealed that "The Guest" and "You're Next" director Adam Wingard's new horror film "The Woods" has scored a new title - "Blair Witch".
Yes it seems the project isn't an original horror tale, instead it's actually a sequel to the 1999 indie horror smash. Speaking with EW, Wingard talked about the bait and switch:
"'The Woods' was our working title. When we signed on to it, we knew that [the name] was eventually going to be changed. To us, it wasn't even going to be part of the marketing. But I think Lionsgate made a really smart decision, using that."
The story stars James Allen McCune ("Shameless") as the brother of Heather Donahue's character from the original film. He sets out to discover what happened to his long-missing sister.

"A nightmare of classic proportions." Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett's new horror thriller The Woods, with a quote from Brad Miska saying its one of the "scariest movies ever made". The film is about a group of college students on a camping trip that discover they are not alone. This is supposed to introduce a new creepy horror character, which you'll barely get a glimpse of in this footage if you look close. The cast includes James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry, Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson. This could actually be pretty good, as these two filmmakers are fantastic and always deliver. I do want to see more from this, but I'm intrigued already.

Set against a spine-chilling, almost melancholic rendition of “Every Breath You Take,” Lionsgate has premiered the haunting first trailer for The Woods, an all-new horror thriller hatched by the creative minds behind The Guest and You’re Next.
That’s Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, who looked to have cooked up the camping trip from hell in today’s first teaser. Opening with serene establishing shots of the great outdoors, the tension gradually begins to build and build until we are introduced to a “group of college students on a camping trip who discover they are not alone.”
Hardly a horror premise to reinvent the wheel, of course, but the terrifying imagery that follows – not to mention those gruesome Pov shots – is enough to fuel nightmares right up until the movie’s September debut.

After delivering one of the most entertaining films of the last few years with the Dan Stevens-led thriller The Guest, writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard are back with a fully-fledged horror feature. Not much was known about The Woods back when we named it one of our most-anticipated films of 2016, but now a bit more has been revealed thanks to the first teaser.
Set for a release on September 16th, the story follows a group of college students who realize they are not along during a camping trip. While the first teaser doesn’t give away any of the story, it does show off some of frightening imagery and uber-hyperbolic quotes. Check it out below along with the poster for the film starring James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry, Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson.

Shameless was back on Sunday night with the denouement to toddler Liam’s accidental overdose, and things are gradually returning to normal – which includes the return of our favorite GI Ginger. Last time we saw Ian (Cameron Monaghan), he was working in a gay bar dressed as a lit cigarette. (Give it a minute.) This week he’s back and… well, in the saddle. Of several older men with crisp $20 bills.
Let’s dig in!
Fiona (Emmy Rossum) wakes up to the sounds of life in the Gallagher house, after arriving home to a vacuum the night before. Downstairs, the kids dote on Liam, whipping him up a fresh glass of Tang (come on – wasn’t the cocaine bad enough?!) and going so far as to gang up on Sammi (Emily Bergl) for letting Frank smoke weed upstairs. Debs (Emma Kenney) and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) actually make a pretty intimidating tag-team.
