Why didn't they have a fire at night?
Stephen King found this too scary to watch, go figure
>>205066570What do you mean?
So were they actually killed by a witch or just some random crazy person in the woods?
>>205066570it was the early 90's, they didnt have fire back then
>>205066570Because they thought there was a group of people fucking with them so they didn’t want to set a fire. This was quite literally said in the movie
>>205066886I watched at 4x speed
Someone should stream this
>>205066666I think you know what he means, Super Satan
>>205066778Definitively supernatural.
>>205066570why didnt she blow her fucking nose before doing that scene
so like could the witch only kill them in the house or could she have killed them in the woods?
>>205067026on a phone too?
>>205066778There's the theory that the two guys murdered her cause she turned down one of the guys who had been simping for her.
>>205067274but they died too
>>205067274One of the worst fan theories ever. Makes zero sense.
>>205066570The film is very well structured as a short feature, which is a big part of why it works. Their oppression is gradual, and becomes worse over time. First, it's simply cold. Unusually cold, even for a fall night. Second, once they're well and truly lost, torrential rain begins, just plain mocking them at this point. Third, after a few nights they dare not even light a fire any more because they suspect that who ever's fucking with them is tracking them by watching their fires. So now they can't even get properly warm any more.The film takes place over eight days and eight nights, and runs for almost exactly eighty minutes (as a short feature, it sticks to the point, accomplishes what it teases, and doesn't overstay its welcome). There is an even back-and-forth between the day-and-night segments, which average five minutes apiece, a nice decent time for a single scene/sequence/dynamic to play out. This eight days/eight nights contrivance is so central to the structure of the film that the DVD chapter stops themselves use it as obvious cutoff points.
Why did people think this was real? My mum brought me to see it when I was 9 and I knew it was just a movie and I was only 9 but my mum thought it was real.
>>205066666What do you mean?
Why didnt they bring guns? Would you really go to forest in middle of nowhere without a handgun and a shotgun and a rifle?
>>205068204Yes if I was a fag amateur filmmaker from a blue state and a liberal arts college. Besides, guns don't work on satanic witchcrafters
>>205068307well im a chud and if I went to woods I would bare minimum bring a handgun, shotgun and rifle and an axe for each person
So was there theoretically any way for them to escape the woods and at what point did they become trapped? Was it as soon as they walked in or not till they fucked with the witches shit?
>>205066570I feel bad for the people who didn't get to experience this marketing first hand
I dont get how boomers read irl maps as how did you know where on the map you were as it had no indicator of your current position
>>205068697Landmarks
>>205068697It's no wonder Kurt Cobain killed himself.
>>205068811lmao
>>205066570fucked my gf after we finished watching the film
Cancel that order!This is a cursed lake, Mr Anon, Blair witches haunt cursed lakes -- do you want to be rescued or a spooky hags basement bitch?Anon, if you want me to run your little camping trip there are two conditions:firstly, i have have the map and when i don't Josh does.secondly my fee, you can keep it. all i want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the Sasquatches - a male, buck only, how and why are my business.Now if you don't like either of those two conditions then you're on your own. So go ahead, set up next to a cursed lake or an abandoned summer camp, or right in the middle of an indian burial ground for all i care -- cause i've been lost in the woods with too many rich college students to listen to any more suicidal ideas.
>>205068985This sounds way better than Blair Witch 3.
>>205066570>>205066666the only thing this plot makes sense is if this was all staged by the dudes so they have an excuse to rape her
>>205066570Mystery is literally dead in the world and it is eroding my soul. Nothing like Blair Witch could exist anymore.
>>205068373Okay, but all of that would be useless seeing as they were trapped in an alternate dimension by the witch.
How did the person/people who found the video tape get out of the forest?
why didnt the witch just kill them immediately in the forest?
>>205068471It's really once they've filmed at Coffin Rock and continue on that they've fallen into the Lost Woods and are fucked. This makes dramatic sense for multiple reasons. It's the last point in the film when they're "officially" on schedule with the the stuff they actually set out to shoot, they just walked away from the last two guys, the two fishermen, who were the last outpost of civilization. If they had doubled back from that point they might have lived (it's implied that the two fisherman hicks might be the guys/hicks fucking with them). Third, Coffin Rock itself is depicted as the site of a historically known savage killing, where a bunch of people were mysteriously disemboweled and their corpses were found bound together hand-to-foot. They are in a place of extreme evil, where the Witch is at her most powerful (another legend tells of a giant claw or hand that dragged a child into the creek, in the same area), and they're not taking it seriously. No reason why the witch can't do more bewitching on the same spot. Fourth, it's pretty much immediately after Coffin Rock that they start questioning Heather's ability to navigate. Fifth, it just makes dramatic sense for the central problem to start about 25-30% of the way in, which is where we are at that point. Everything points to the hiking just after Coffin Rock as the point where they're screwed and don't fully realize it yet.
>>205069174the tape was mailed to a random person who gave the tape to police and then they made it a movie.that random person?albert einstein.
>>205069174>>205069355Their cameras and footage were found by a search team buried in the foundation of the Rustin Parr house where the basement once was.
>>205069174Something something archaeology students found it, or something. The backstory and aftermath for all this was fully developed as part of production. They did a TV tie-in faux-documentary about the faux-documentary, and they put out a companion book (D.A. Stern) purporting to compile police reports, historical records etc relating to the "case" (the front of the book again has a small, but clear "this is fiction" disclaimer, I just picked it up again).I think the people who found it also claimed that it was buried in such a way that it could not possibly have been put where it was by a person.Gotta let someone live to tell the tale.>>205069233For the same reason that lots of stupid stuff and other contrived things happen in every story: if you don't contrive things in a certain way, then we don't have a movie/story.
>>205069694See >>205069473
the 2016 movie hand waved it an just said some youtuber guy found the tape in the woods and uploaded it to youtube and they didnt explain how the witch didnt kill him
Heather was a cute...CUTE!
>>205068167What do you mean?
>be me>bring gun>shoot myself to deny witch pleasure of killing me
The hype for this movie was huge mainly because everybody believed it was real. My mom didn't really want me to see it because she thought it might be too realistic but my dad took me and my friend anyway.
Anon solved it>You have to approach it logically. First we must ascertain the situation. Take a knife and start walking towards south. You can see this from the bright spot in the sky and the moss growing on the trees. Head south as straight as possible and mark the trees with a number. Have everyone follow another with 30m space. The one leading walks backwards so everyone has visual confirmation of each other. Eventually you get to a road.What if were teleported? Then we would find where the edge of the "bubble" is by seeing the frontman suddenly disappear and see the last number on the tree which would indicate the (r) of the circle. Now we throw a stone through, see if it obeys the same laws. We dig under the invisible "wall" and try crawling under. We hold each others hands and try to pass through. We climb the tree next to the wall and survey the land.If none of that works and we're still stuck, the next best option would be to wait on a tree top, gather a bundle of wet pine branches and set it on fire when you notice a plane flying above. The branches let out a ton of smoke. If by some weird happenstance no one could see because the bubble blocks all visual and audio data leaving it, the next best option would be to make yourself comfy, take that knife and slit your wrists, painless and denying the witch its satisfaction.
>2016 movie has them bring a fucking drone but not even 1 guntypical liberal
>>205070152Refer to >>205069104
>>205067289They had to make it look legit or else people would think they were the murderers.
Just follow the flow of the fucking river maybe. It's not that hard.
>play blair with game>dog dies
>>205070603See >>205069104
>>205067235Vertically even
>>205070898Spoof
>>205070898They were merely hexed and vexed. Logic is a witch's weakness
It’s like Silent Hill. The three main characters got trapped by the witch, but to anyone out looking for them, it was just a regular forest.
>>205072251How were they supposed to logic their way out of an endless forest loop?
>>205068105because of the marketing campaign and the way it was filmed was the same as everybody's home movies
>>205072324Do whatever this guy posted >>205070146
I dont get why the witch doesnt attack you if you dont look at her. Is she just trolling?
If it were me I would've snatched her boots in the middle of the night and huffed them like paint fumes
>>205070146It’s not a magical bubble, they were in an alternate dimension.
whats the witches problem?
>>205068105Wow a 9 yo at an R rated movie. I'm sure all the adults enjoyed having a snivelling brat there. Of I'd been there I'd have beaten the shit out of you. Stomped your skull into mush then strangled your fat ugly saggy titted mom to death. My penis might also have been involved at times as well. Fuck you cunt.
>>205073329im in europe. we dont have r rating. there was no enforcement age ratings for movies back then.
>>205073329This anon thinks a 9 year old is the same as a crying baby in a theater.
>>205073776Is that really true? Britain infamously had their 'video nasties' back in the day.
>>205074029im in ireland. age ratings for movies weren't really enforced until like the late 2000s. My dad used to bring to me 18 rated movies all the time. dunno about rest of europe
>>205073776Doesn't change anything does it stupid cunt. I don't go to a super scary movie just to have to listen to some small dicked little shithead squeling and shitting his pants for the whole movie. Man if have taken my time with you, snapping each of your skinny little bones one by one. You fucking piece of shit fuck you
>>205074490ur behaving very weird desu.
>>205066778they were teleported back in time by the witch and then killed there.
There's no explanation as to why the woman they interviewed at the beginning of the movie was spared when during that woman's encounter with the witch. Either that woman was making up her encounter or she was the actual witch.
>>205074590SHUT THE FUCK UP FAGGOT
>>205075947She licked out the witches coochie and so the which spared her. Imagine what witch cooch tastes like. Ew
>>205068514same, I was still super young but even then I knew this movie was a big deal. sadly my parents were very selective about what I got to watch growing up till I was about 12 or 13.
what if kicking the map into the creek weakened the witch?
>>205074490lmao this is hilarious
>>205075947It's almost as if the whole production design (her STICK GATE at her trailer) and story are contrived in such a way that the viewer is able to wonder what really happened. Even though the film is a naked ripoff, point-for-point, of all of the fundamentals of Cannibal Holocaust, I still have a soft spot for it.
>>205078065The only thing in common is the basic lost footage trope. CH was a movie about seemingly innocent people who were revealed as the actual villains all along. Totally different in every regard. It is actually really deep for what it is.
nobody back then thought this movie was "real" so it would be great if you faggots would quit repeating that ridiculous liethe thing about people getting sick from watching it is true though, but it was motion sickness from the shaky hand held cameras, not because it was that fucking scary, cause it wasn't
>>205079549I'm old enough to remember it coming out. Yes, people thought it was real. Not everyone, obviously. What revisionist history is this?
>>205068985>no dino safari movie catching herbivores and shooting raptors
>>205078968No, the only thing in common is NOT the "basic found footage trope"/genre, as you have falsely claimed. The Blair Witch Project and Cannibal Holocaust are structurally and thematically similar on multiple registers which, once you are are aware of them, are obvious. And these two particular films are much more closely tied together than other instances of the found footage genre, as we will show. The fundamental story is the same in both cases, and the medium and manner of presentation also happen to be the same. A group of asshole young adult doco filmmakers, spurred on by a foolish leader, go into the woods. They fuck around and find out. Their footage is found in the woods/jungle, and their story is told.A little reflection, attributed to one "Chas Balun" (which might be a pseudonym), was printed as part of an insert in a Cannibal Holocaust DVD. An excerpt reads as follows: "This 'Found Footage' plot device was subsequently exploited by others, including the incompetent, know-nothing, slacker-auteurs behing the godawful tripe of The Blair Witch Project (1999). Yet few had the audacity to question who was there decades before-and who do it best."I happen to like Blair Witch Project, and the review blurb is over-the-top. But the point is that it does correctly compare the two films, whereas you have incorrectly tried to get them apart from each other.
>>205068204Yes? Most people don't even consider taking guns for camping trips. I'm a bit of gun nut myself and never hike with them.
>>205079626you have to understand that majority of users on 4chan exist solely to be contrarians and farm (you)s. that, and people just generally speak out their ass based off of what they've heard others say online, even if it's completely false.
>>205066666Fucking wasted pents. I'd seppuku if I were you.
>>205067941Agreed that the efficient screenplay is a big partn of why this movie works
>>205070338What
>>205066778The interdimensional bigfoot got her.
>>205079549Everyone thought it was real. That was a common belief until I was in high-school in the mid aughts.
>>205080862Oasis were never popular in America, anon.
>>205081972All retarded children, maybe. No adult with an IQ over 100 thought it was real, you utter imbecile.
>>205075947It's inferred that Mary Brown is the witch.
>>205069342Good analysis
>>205080900And look at you, only getting dubs. What a worthless fagot lmao
>>205066570Have you tried making a friction fire before? Shits hard as fuck.
>>205082123heh that one user on /mu/ has been putting in overtime with the bait lately, and people still keep taking it. i respect the hustle
>>205072892My fucking man
>>205080862>majority of users on 4chan exist solely to be contrariansWE DO NOT SHUT UP
>>205079626I'm old enough to remember when it came out too. Nobody thought it was real except maybe one or two retards.
>>205067199Why didn't they have kleenex?
>>205067941I enjoyed the missing footage of crybaby bridge and the poetry jam session.
>>205069694Those faux documentaries are really fun. I recommend the Burkitsville seven. And then shadow of the Blair witch which tries to cover for book of shadows.
>>205072324Burn the forest down
>>205068105It was the first found footage film, it was marketed as being real, they made whole fictional documentaries about the town and the witch to give it credibility, the movie was filmed 5 years before it was released which you can tell based on how the characters looked, which also gave credibility to it being "found footage", and the fact that it really did look like someone found some shitty ass home movie footage and edited it down. Literally every found footage film after that had special effects and actual supernatural elements.
>>205082209Quit pretending to be over 18. It's cringe.
>>205069780it was a time loop
>>205068697fr fr, where’s the HUD?
>>205066666AIEEE SATAN
>>205066570why didn't they just rape her for warmth?
