Thank you, George, for not photoshopping the snot that’s very clearly in the movie into Simone’s nose in the thumbnail.

Pam Nail

The Blair Witch legend was entirely made up for the movie, not real. But the studio did a whole campaign to make the public think it WAS real and that the actors were actually their characters and had really gone missing. They made the actors agree not to appear in any films between shooting this (which was a first film for all of them) and when it finally came out, and they actually pretended they were missing -- even their IMDB pages at the time only listed this movie as their single credit and under their basic information it said "Missing, presumed dead" for all three of them.

This film here in Australia made news in 98 when I was in school. Teachers found out kids were sneaking in to see it so we had a parent teacher assembly to warn us it may be perceived as real if kids weren’t informed. Moral of the story: I snuck in to see it anyway and got scared schnitless. Also great thumbnail as always haha

Michael

The marketing of this movie when it came out was so brilliant

Jay Davis

Guess I'll just go stand motionless in the corner until the Patreon version posts... or is that twigs?

Byron

A solid portion of my coworkers at the time believed that this was really found footage. I guess that speaks to the quality of both the filmmaking and the marketing. And the laziness of the coworkers, since a cursory look would reveal the actors appeared at the film’s premiere and there were cast interviews, etc.

PastaDon

Ha, I remember going to see this opening night because there was so much hype around it.. Lot easier keeping things secret back then, I remember this guy stood up after the end scene when credits started and yelled.. "WTF, SERIOUSLY!!" everybody in the theater laughed.. Don't remember an exact date, but shortly after we started seeing the actors doing interviews, being nominated for awards and stuff..

Jason Pratt

I’m not a horror fan, I’m a big wuss, so it wasn’t too Far of a stretch that I didn’t like it. The shaky cam really pulled me out of it. I think had I sent it at home instead of the theater I might’ve liked it more. I did like Sinister though. That’s about the top shelf for my horrific taste 😁

Dave Sees Movies

I saw this in a fully packed sneak preview in NYC six weeks before it opened. I had no idea what it is was and a couple of my friends had read all the marketing stuff that was disguised as a this-is-real website. I was scared SHITLESS and there were people - adult New Yorkers - sobbing when the credits rolled they were so scared. A great example of early Internet ingenuity and good filmmaking.

MR

The only movie I've ever walked out on. Don't know why they chose Michael J. Fox to be the cameraman, but especially in a dark theatre it made me too seasick to finish watching.

Jeff K

I saw this movie after it was already known it was fake, so it lost a lot its impact for me. I still appreciate its importance though. And every time I go for a hike now, you better believe I make those little stick figures randomly in the woods because it’s fun to fuck with people. Also, George, talking about playing Sons of the Forest: there was a Blair Witch game released a couple years ago that I have heard is actually pretty good and creepy as fuck.

Wrencher86

Did anyone mention yet that the three main characters are only kind of acting? Like, the director sent them into the woods with instructions to shoot the documentary portions and then proceeded to fuck with them from a distance (scary noises, rustling sounds, intentionally getting them lost, etc). That's what I remember hearing at the time, anyway. But it's nigh impossible to separate urban legend from fact with this film (which was the point).

i saw this in the theater when i was in high school. my friend and i got there a few minutes before the previews started and couldn't find seats together. sitting separately, we had very different experiences. she thought it was super scary and loved it. i hated almost everything about it - the camera movement made me nauseous, all the screaming gave me a headache, every character annoyed me to the point i WANTED them all to die so they would stfu and i could go home. watching your reaction (okay, mostly listening to it - i'm still queasy from the few minutes i did watch) gave me a little more respect for what the filmmakers did, even though it's still very much not for me. i mostly hope heather got a percentage of that back end.

Michael

Some high school friends and myself managed to rent a movie theater for an all-night party in early 2000. We threw this up on the big screen at about 1 am and watched it for the first time while the mystery around it was still fresh. It was in my top 5 moviegoing experiences.

theedgeinshow

the Blair Witch would be NO match for Buckaroo Banzai

Most movies don’t have all of the marketing centered around trying to convince people it is an actual documentary. And to be clear: I’m not saying I ever thought it was real. Just that I saw it months after it was released, after the hype and mystery and novelty had already started to wear off so it just didn’t have the same impact.

JBK405

You mentioned being scared to go into the woods after seeing this. Back when it first came out there were stories that hiking and camping PLUMMETED because people across the USA were scared to do it. They were the same type of stories that said beach attendance dropped after "Jaws" came out. In the sitcom "Boy Meets World" the parents of the one of the main characters owned a outdoor supply store, and there was a plotline that their business had suffered. They even celebrated a customer coming in to buy a tent with the rationale that the panic over this movie had finally ended. "Gilligan's Island" was a hit TV show from the mid-'60s about a diverse group of people stranded on a deserted island after a shipwreck. Gilligan himself was the Ship's Mate, and was the charming screw-up who always ruined everybody else's plan to get off the island. It would be hard to overstate HOW BIG of a hit the show was, although now-a-days most people just talk about how if they had just killed Gillian they would have gotten off the island in a week.

RobTra

Maybe the real Blair Witch was all the friends we made along the way?

Roberto Abitua

I'll never forget seeing this movie for the first time when it was released. I saw it at a local drive-in movie theater, which was completely surrounded by trees, really pulling you into the atmosphere of it all. It's not anywhere near my favorite found footage horror film these days (REC, Hell House LLC got the top spots for me), but it's definitely the most important one.

JoeNotCharles

I had a Blair Witch moment when I was a kid - I was probably 10 or 12. My family drove across the US for summer vacation, camping overnight at various spots instead of staying in hotels. The only part of it I really remember was one night we were in a campsite in a patch of trees in the middle of a huge open plain (so I guess in the Midwest somewhere), with my tent near a fence that ran along the edge of the campground. In the middle of the night I woke up to a horrible screaming. It sounded exactly like a human shrieking in pain, over an over again. I remember being frozen in fear in my tent and then hearing someone rustling at the door - which was my parents, come to tell me it was a wild pig on the other side of the fence. First time I saw this movie it took me right back to that moment.

First, you guys are by a mile my favorite reactors. Second, I enjoy hearing George complain about shaky cam about as much as I enjoy hearing him complain about how hard it will be to edit certain reactions.

Jordan Barnes

Another installment of “watching a movie I’ve never seen cuz I love you two so much”

Jay Davis

I had to leave the theater during this one. The shaky camera was just too much (especially considering it was a massive movie screen). I left with about 20 minutes to go and waited on my friend to come out to tell me how it ended.

MR
>>126887808

He's really a great guy and an inspirational person, and does make fun of his own condition, because what else can you do.

Elder Lyons
>>126895769

but not Simone complaining about the same thing though? cause isnt the point of reactions to hear what the reactors actually think? or do you only like it when they nod and just say they like everything and thats it.

Jinyatta

I grew up 6 miles from Burkittsville, so I knew the story wasn't true. But that didn't keep me from fucking with some of my co-workers at a summer camp when we went to see it on one of our nights off. I ended up making a bunch of those stick figures and hanging them in the trees around the cabins that night.

Wrencher86
>>126891934

Re: Gilligan's Island: Also, that based on the type of boat and the duration of the trip, the group was, at most, something like 2.5 miles from wherever they had set off from.

Wrencher86
>>126888101

Fair. I just don't think the "it's not real" works great as a criticism since suspension of disbelief is "The" core tenet of movie-going. But I understand it would dampen the impact of this particular movie given everything surrounding it at the time of release.

G C

I’m glad you guys caught on about the witch possibly messing with the characters’ minds and the environment. A lot of people don’t consider that their first time watching including me

JoeE

For more info on Gilligan’s island you should watch dazed and confused

Darin Foat

These idiots would have died in the woods whether there was a witch after them or not.

The marketing website was amazing. It had all of the lore and history of the Blair Witch, details of the disappearances, and murders, and in-depth background of what enchantments the witch could perform. I read it all before going; my friend didn't. We had different experiences watching the movie. My friend was terrified in a Deliverance way, locals fucking with outsiders, but I experienced it as a supernatural horror movie from the moment I saw the creek. We, both, had a good time.

AstralCars

Please react to The Witch (2015) because you know - witches!

Travis H

I have never seen this movie because I am a coward that can’t handle horror. So I just watched a reaction video the way Simone was watching an actual horror movie.

Christina Doxstader

The truly amazing thing about this movie was the marketing. It was viral before that was a thing. It was so well done that a lot of people thought it was real. The movie itself also cost around 35K to make and made well over 100M making it the most profitable movie of all time for a good amount of time.

It’s ironic to call this the worst movie ever made while also pushing the Cloverfield franchise… Cultural context is important and the Blair Witch Project paved the way for other found footage horror films. I was in middle school when this film came out, and kids were in a tizzy talking about it, most people thought it was actually real footage. Really built up the intrigue. It was also great for low budget filmmaking. Cloverfield went on to implement a lot of viral marketing around the found footage aspect to build up hype. And then one of the most profitable horror franchises of all time followed shortly after, all using the found footage style. It’s actually kind of asinine to call this the worst movie ever made.

David Nesbit
>>126933227

I said in my opinion. Also was not pushing the Cloverfield franchise as the Cloverfield Paradox was garbage.

Middy
>>126933227

I'm not much of a Blair Witch fan, but if we follow this logic then Cloverfield has "the worst movie ever made" to thank for its existence.

Happy Hanukkah

I'm gonna pray for those three young people in that forest. And I want them to hold onto God's unchangin' hand. Cause it helped Joshua fight the battle of Jericho. Yes! It helped Daniel get out the lion's den. It helped *Gilligan* get off the island. Lawd! (It is not escaping my notice that this channel has been censoring Gilligan's Island. :-P )

Obsolyeet

I saw this in the theater alone and liked it so I took my sister to watch it the following week. Right at the end where you see the guy standing in the corner I grabbed her knee really hard just as the camera tumbled. She flew out of her seat screaming which then got about a dozen other people screaming. It was hilarious but man was she PISSED at me! Still, it was totally worth it.

>>126915475

Heck yes! The Witch and Midsommar are the two horror movies I'm hoping they get around to someday.

Damian

I watched this film today, in broad daylight, in prep for this reaction (and the hype surrounding this film when it came out was so well done). I do not like horror. Simone’s reaction was the correct one.

Kron0n

I always thought it was pretty boring. I never understood why people found it scary.

J. Valentine
>>126989433

Back in the day when found footage was newer, and people would tell you this actually happend, and most of us were kids, and no internet...yeah this was scary as fuck

Kron0n
>>126989433

I saw it when it came out. I knew it was just a movie because everyone raved about how much it was making based on what it cost to shoot, about the makers, the interviews with the actors etc not getting a script until like the day of shooting. Was just over blown to me.

Middy
>>126989433

For the reasons they talk about in the reaction. Halfway through the movie, George says "I hope they don't actually show the witch" (or something along those lines) and Simon agrees. Your imagination conjures up far more frightening imagery than the director ever could have. It leads me to assume people who get bored by horror movies where "nothing happens" simply don't have very active imaginations. You can tell all the way through this video, the things that are scaring Simone the most are in her own head.

Dan Holmes

So good. Very underrated. people don't understand how inventive and culture shirting this was. Also from just a pure filmmaking stand point the actors are incredible and the story is not boring at all. I don't understand people who think it is, they must lead very shallow and desensitized lives. Glad George and Simone "Got it". Check out CHRONICLE for one of the only other Found Footage Films worth watching. It's a super cool take on the genre as well :)

Reiji Kobayashi

Due to a really bad case of motion sickness, I had to stop watching halfway through the movie. It was a good thing I only rented it, since I probably would have tried to tough it out in the theater and things would have gotten *really* messy.

Mister Forbez

I'm an old man, and saw this in theaters opening weekend with a small group of friends when I was younger and full of beans. It's one of the only movies I've ever been to that the theater was completely full. Zero empty seats, including the front row. At the time this was such a huge deal in terms of hype and marketing, getting people to think that it was actually real (or at least treat it as such for the experience).

Renee MeowMeow Beans

I saw this back in the day, and my partner and I rewatched it a few months ago - and I think it holds up really well and is effective as a found footage, especially considering the budget. I think for the most part "not" showing the scare is more effective because it's hard for filmmakers to bring to reality the visceral nature of a scare through visuals -- though you can gross people out and jump scare them fairly easily. Also, I have spent a good amount of time camping in very remote areas of the US, and you can EASILY get lost and have terrible things happen to you. I think that accounts for a lot of Missing 411. Sidenote: the promo "doc" for this film The Curse of the Blair Witch is a fun watch. 🙂
