the little kid freaking out when the mom is telling a story about the witch is a nice touch – UNSCRIPTED
guy took 2 kids down to basement, 1 faces the corner while the other one is killed – HARDCORE FORESHADOWING
all the ‘interviews’ seem so authentic and like real people retelling stories
when you really pay attention to the stories and back story of the blair witch, it’s actually incredibly unsettling and i found myself getting super uneasy and uncomfortable
why doesn’t heather tell mike about what she found
heather screaming for mike to wait kills me man, paired with the overlayed footage
brother. that very last scene of mike standing in the corner and her screaming at him and the camera dropping.
i cannot believe how impactful that scene STILL is. literally almost brought tears to my eyes.
FILMING:
the overlaying of audio and mismatched video is fun and a nice touch
the iconic scene of heathers face right in the camera. oh man. so impactful, such great fucking acting brother AND her looking off to the side while she’s filming, bruh
the panic that Mikey emits is anxiety inducing; you actually feed off Mikey’s panic a bit, he seems like the only one that’s understanding the actual serevity of being so lost in the woods, aside from those woods being incredibly haunted
OOF that first scream for Josh from Heather is heartwrenching
you can see the defeat, shame, agony grow on each of their faces throughout the entire film – WHICH IS WILD BC THIS IS THEIR TRUE DETERIORATION OF SANITY
QUOTES:(Even better bc they’re unscripted)
“we’ll all look back on this and laugh heardily” – saying from a real thought regarding filming?
“we light fires, they know” – mikey – the directors? or what’s in the woods?
“what the fuck is that!?” to something out of frame!!!!!
“i can see why you like this video camera so much. it’s not reality” – GET WHOLE QUOTE OF THIS
“tell me where you are Josh” from mike. HEARTWRENCHING
the simplicity of her saying “my hair is caught” mid-panic attack, crying, after she found the stuff- OOF, felt that shit
“it was my project, and I insisted. I insisted on everything.” / “hungry and cold and hunted” / “i’m scared to close my eyes, i’m scared to open them”
“i hear him downstairs” – also iconic
“that was a very uncomfortable movie. very uncomfortable.” – my mom
