It redefined a genre and sent shockwaves through cinemas worldwide. Now, 25 years on from its
original release, The Blair Witch Project is getting a Limited Edition Blu-ray Box set from horror aficionados Second Sight Films.
The seminal film that put found footage firmly on the map, returns with a meticulously crafted box set. Arriving in November with exclusive extras, new documentary, restored Hi-8 videotapes and 16mm film elements. All supervised and approved by the directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick , plus producers Greg Hale and Michael Monello. All presented in a stunning new rigid slipcase with new artwork by Timothy Pittides and comes complete with a 184-page hardback book with archive production materials, new essays and an additional book ‘Heather’s Journal’.
In 1994 three student filmmakers, Heather Donahue, Michael Williams and Joshua Leonard venture into the Black Hills Forest to uncover the truth behind the local legend of the Blair Witch. Armed with nothing but their cameras and curiosity, they disappear without a trace – until their footage was discovered one year later.
What unfolds is an unrelenting descent into fear, as their last days are laid bare in what has become one of the most disturbing and influential found-footage films of all time. Raw, relentless and eerily real, this visceral, nerve-shredding cinematic landmark taps into primal fears and changed the face of horror forever.
Experience this groundbreaking horror like never before… but beware The Blair Witch is watching you.
