Are you wondering just exactly who the Blair Witch was? What the Burkittsville, Maryland, legend was all about? Or what exactly fascinated student filmmaker Heather and what possibly took her, Mike, and Josh from this earth? Get all your background questions answered by <I>Curse of the Blair Witch</I>, a one-stop-shopping "documentary" originally produced for the Sci-Fi Channel as a tie-in marketing tool. Entirely fictionalized, <I>Curse of the Blair Witch</I> focuses both on the past and the present, with copious info on the Blair Witch myth as well as on the disappearance of Heather, Josh, and Mike. As it turns out, the original witch was one Elly Kedward, who was accused in 1785 of taking blood from several children; she was subsequently banished to the harsh winter woods and left for dead. Her grisly and bloody legacy involves missing children, polluted water, disemboweled men, and a serial killer of children who claims to have been haunted by "an old woman ghost." Aside from some ineffective "newsreel" footage of the serial killer, all this intriguing information is presented convincingly and chillingly. <i>Curse</i> may in fact freak you out more than the movie, and it evokes the great, pulpy <I>In Search Of</I> series of the '70s, one of the prime inspirations for filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez. News clips of the search for Heather, Josh, and Mike lend a vérité atmosphere to the proceedings, but shed little light on their mysterious disappearance or their characters. Basically, it's a tease to go see the movie. Still, <I>The Blair Witch Project</I> provided only ever-so-slight information on the legend that haunted the forest, so you'll want this cleverly constructed mock documentary to supplement your knowledge of the film. <I>--Mark Englehart</I>
Viewer Reviews
I first watch it on DVD in 2000 on my gateway computer, which was cool since it came with a dvd rom and a new world opened to me. The Blair Witch Project scared the living daylights out of me, even tho I knew it wasn't true. I allowed myself to believe it, to be drawn into the movie, and this DVD truly helped out a lot. The Special Feature made it even more convincing. The news reports were very details and seemed very real and as a horror lover I let myself be reeled in. So this time I'm buying it after 8 years since I've watched it from a Block Buster rental. I always wanted to own this I just never knew how much, until I read these comments.
