Blair Witch? What? Yet another damn reboot movie?? Or is it something else, since IMDB lists it as The Woods.
Well, something’s going bump in the night as the happy campers are picked off one by one in the dark. The ‘action’ is interspersed by quotes from film sites declaring how frightening it is. Really? It looked bloody awful from the trailer, and nothing we haven’t seen before, not least in 1999’s The Blair Witch Project.
That said, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett worked together on the so-so You’re Next, but then the excellent The Guest, so there’s scope for pedigree in the latter, at least, although the former also had some inventive ideas.
There’s no-one famous in the cast – Corbin Reid, Wes Robinson, Valorie Curry, Callie Hernandez, James Allen McCune and Brandon Scott – but if you want to check this one out, then Blair Witch has a UK release date of September 16th.
