If you haven't seen the Blair Witch Project, made in 1999, chances are you don't watch a lot of horror movies, as it spawned an entire genre off of it's handheld, "found footage" style (along of course with other super popular titles such as Paranormal Activity).
After the flop of a sequel in 2000 "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2", the 2016 Blair Witch movie was supposed to be straight sequel to the original 1999 film.
Being decently successful, with only a small $5 Million budget, it grossed $45.2 Million at box office. Nowhere near as successful as the 1999 original, but a good revival for the series.
After the success of the 2016 third installment, a decision was finally made to create a solid game revolving around the Blair Witch universe. On August 30th, 2019, the psychological survival horror game was developed and release by Bloober Team.
The game is set in 1996, two years after the original movie was set in (1994), and frequently alludes to things that occurred in the original movie.
The Main characters are Ellis, his dog Bullet, his ex-wife Jess, Sheriff Lanning, and of course the missing boy you set off to find, Peter Shannon. I won't give any spoilers or details into the games ending(s), or about the monsters and antagonists in the game.
I am currently making a highlighted play through on my Youtube channel, and would really appreciate the watch, and a subscribe if you enjoy my content. Videos on Blair Witch are going up daily, and I already have two episodes out now. The playlist can be found here:
