#Reviews of the blair witch project 2016 movie#
The marketing campaign for this movie is the stuff of legend, okay? Nowadays you will never see a filmmaker go as far as Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick went to convince you that you just witnessed the murder of three innocent teenagers. Heather went on to write a book and, I guess, quit acting. Then Michael and Josh started showing up in movies again. Well, they were “never seen again” for about 7 years. Yes they were purposely “never seen again” to keep up the illusion of the movie.
Yes their real names are Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams. I even met them at the horror convention Days of the Dead in Chicago.
In fact I’ve seen two of the three kids in other movies since TBWP. The three missing teenagers aren’t really missing. Either the filmmakers did their job by keeping up the charade or the forest known as the Black Woods in Burkittsville Maryland are really haunted… Even years later, for those who suspected it was fake and that the three kids were just actors, never saw them in any other movies after that. There was even a documentary special aired on TV about the legend of the Blair Witch and how it all started. There was a website dedicated to finding the missing teens and their pictures were printed on milk cartons. If you remember when TBWP came out, then you remember the constant talk of if it’s real or not. July 30th 1999 moviegoers were left in shock after they saw what, to them, seemed to be stock footage of 3 teenagers lost in the woods and then seemingly murdered.
