Synopsis
On October 21, 1994, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams hiked into Maryland? Black Hills Forest to shoot a documentary film on a local legend, The Blair Witch. The legend told of a centuries-old curse: a demonic, bestial figure haunting the deep woods, ritual child-murders, grisly artifacts and eerie phenomena. In short, the sort of things a crew of young filmmakers might discount as superstition. They were never heard from again. Because no sooner had they hiked into the woods, than the trio found themselves mysteriously and undeniably lost. That night, things quickly go from bad to worse. As the group? director compulsively continues to videotape their predicament, they hear strange, chilling noises just beyond their campfire? light. By day, evidence of a macabre visitation is discovered nearby. Now, wandering hopelessly by day, cowering in fear by night, morale began to deteriorate and accusations begin to fly. Days pass and supplies dwindle, nerves fray and the realization dawns that they may not get out of this alive. As the malignant unseen menace around them tightens its grip on their imaginations, feat threatens to overwhelm their reason. Rapidly deteriorating both physically and psychologically, they face the horrific fact that their film is now documenting their own descent into stark, inescapable terror.
