In 1999, The Blair Witch Project created a sensation with nothing but a camera and a ton of ingenuity. Love it or hate it, the movie by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez was a milestone in horror cinema, modernizing the genre of found footage, which has since been repeated in movies like Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield. 17 years later, and against all expectations (it was shot in secret under a false title) Blair Witch is back, with the very trendy director Adam Wingard (You're Next) at the helm. The formula is almost identical: a group of friends camping in a mysterious forest experience scary noises in the dark and an abandoned house, with images filmed by the characters themselves embedded into the story. Fans will not be disappointed with this pseudo remake that provides some nice thrills, offers a lot of suspense and adds some very good ideas to the original mythology. By failing to reinvent anything, Wingard perfectly fulfills his mission.
