Film Theory: Blair Witch's SECRET KILLERS! (Blair Witch Project)

My favorite part of this movie is that the film crew would send someone out dressed up to rush through the woods or hide to scare the actors. If you see something walking around in the background, it's one of those crew members and the actors weren't aware. So if you hear one of them going "What was that!?" It's the actual reaction.

can we all agree that kicking a piece of paper is the worst way of disposing of it

This theory is 10x scarier than the one we're supposed to believe.

Mat's theories and ideas are usually so over the top, but this is legitimately very plausible and makes a lot of sense

This theory makes the movie so much more scarier

Some things that I thought were really interesting about the movie: - The directors gave the actors a script of a few pages that explained the story and the actions they would have to follow while filming BUT it didn't have many details, there were many things they didn't know, a lot was added by the directors while filming. - To guide the actors the directors were nearby all the time (the actors were aware of this from the beginning), they would place a basket with food and personal stuff every morning nearby their tent before they wake up. The basket also contained notes about what they would have to do that day (That's how the directors added decisions while filming). - It was stablished that the directors would use flashlights to guide them in the night, also they would add things, like the piles of rocks and the dolls BUT the directors didn't tell the actors the methods they would use to scare them so a lot of their reactions are real, even the crying. - There were other endings filmed like one in wich Mike was found dead by Heather hanging from a rope. - The people that are interviewed in the town at the beginning of the film are not part of the casting, they were not actors. Those were actually residents of the town nearby the forest. - The actors didn't know there was no Blair Witch legend, they thought the legend was used as an excuse for the film, also the people in town were paid by the directors to tell scary stories about the witch to the actors so they would believe that is was an actual legend of the town, this increased the initial fear of the actors. - The movie was filmed in 8 days - There were not many people involved in the making of the film, the 2 directors, the 3 actors, the writer of the script and a couple more. And because the film doesn't have special effects or sounds, just editing, the making of the film was very low in cost - Due to it's low cost "The Bllair witch project" is one the most profitable movies in history and one of the most succesfull independent films ever. With an original budget around $50000 the movie earned $250 millions

Plot twist: After murdering Heather, Josh and Mike die from a mixture of exposure and starvation cause they lost the map. :D

I like to think both theories are true. The guys, annoyed by the girl decide to prank her by pretending to be lost only to walk right into a actual supernatural event.

I wonder what goes on in your brain,matpat

Everyone *Sleeping* Mike at 12 am: You know what....Im gonna build a rock pile

Imagine if they actually put this in the movie. Picture this: just one scene at the end, after everything else. Mike and Josh running through the forest, laughing. That’d be crazy.

MatPat: There’s nothing supernatural in the Blair Witch franchise Blair Witch the game: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

A murder plot is actually scarier than a witch Edit: please stop criticizing me its tiring

Legend says that Heather and Josh are still still fighting for the map

"In case it's been a couple of years since you watched this movie" Me who has never watched the movie: *Yup!*

The reason he stood in the corner was because in the movie the group were told stories about how the murderer would make children stand in the corner so they wouldn’t be scared by the deaths of their fellow kids.

The movie makes us see this forest through Heather's eyes, so in the end we are as blind as she is, detatched from our common sense. Your theory convinced me 100%.

I just had a crazy idea: Let's say that, in some alternate universe, this theory was the original intention of the producers. Then the sequel comes along and it's has the blatant supernatural elements of the sequel movie in our universe. The reason for this? The Blair Witch is actually HEATHER'S SPIRIT, which now attacks everyone who enters the woods where she died. So, in essence, The Blair Witch isn't real until Mike and Josh make it real by scaring and murdering Heather. Now wouldn't THAT be a twist?

That awkward moment when your film theory is better thought out than the actual sequel to the film.

So the Blair Witch was framed?
