In 1999, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez unleashed a supernatural horror film, the likes we had never seen. (The ending of this film still haunts us, don’t even get us started.) Daniel and Eduardo wrote, directed and edited “The Blair Witch Project,” a fictional ‘found footage‘ story of 3 student film makers who are shooting a documentary about a local myth in Maryland known as the ‘Blair Witch.’ What happens next is the stuff of horror film legend.
Second Sight Films has just announce a new, limited edition, 2-disc version that has a ton of extras that fans will surely be looking forward to. Here is what they have to say about this pre-book offering.
Three film students head into the woodlands of Maryland in search of the Blair Witch, a local legend that has haunted the town of Burkittsville for centuries, as part of a documentary project. They were never seen again. This footage is all that remains of that fateful excursion.
