Why didnt they use GPS to get out of the woods?

Why didn’t they fly the eagles out of the woods?

Because Mike kicked it into the creek. Didn't you watch the movie?

What was the Blair Witch's tax policy?

>>211810438 (OP)
GPS

Everyone says that about The Blair Witch Project. "The woods are dark." I’m like, okay, "The shaky camera is cool." They gets to go to an abandoned house and be killed by the witch. Okay? I want to do that. But they don't, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go. I have no words.

Back then, camcorder batteries would last maybe an hour if you didn't use the onboard light. They would have had to have carried sacks of fully-charged batteries to get any amount of footage. These kids likely didn't have the money for that.

true

>>211810587
thanks Zack very cool

>>211811023
They were in a time loop

If I was in those woods with my kids it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that witch hut

so how much of it was the blair witch's supernatural humiliation ritual and how much of it was the characters losing their minds? because mike throws the map in the creek for no reason, heather feels the irresistible urge to film and josh just leaves. were they possessed or influenced by the witch or did they genuinely just lost their minds in a few days?

>>211810438 (OP)
Did they even try to climb a single fucking tree

>>211813028
>no reason
the map was making them walk around in a circle and he rightfully was going nuts about it.

did the actor really eat a leaf or was it a prop

I get really irritated when characters in such movies act so irrational. I get that tiredness, hunger and whatnot psychological effects will impair your judgement but come on. Try to come up with solutions using logic!

How about following the creek for a while. Surely that will get you to some human settlement. Why is this not even a suggestion? I want characters who can logically, even scientifically analyze the situation they are in. Very little of this was in the Cube but what else?

If I was one of the characters I would try to bend the mechanics in the same situation (of course if I could keep my composure), start a fire for example, burn down the forest.

>>211810438 (OP)
Because they were trapped in some kind of pocket reality. Notice how there is no wild live, no singing birds, nothing.

>>211813298
This is why i came to the thread

>Blair?

What's your motivation, Heather Rei?

>>211813543
time is a mother fucker

>>211810438 (OP)
More like the Blair Bitch Project amirite folks

>>211813028
I believe the implication is that Mike's audio equipment affected the compass, making them walk in circles

>>211813165
don't think they were the tree-climbing types. besides, the tree weren't thick oak-like, they were quite slender (birches, maybe) whose tops you could never get to.

The actors got fucked over so bad. Its crazy to think they made nothing from the movie but the guys who literally didn't shoot or appear in a single frame of it got set for life. Could even go further saying they barely even wrote it considering how much is improv. There's your real horror

i legitimately think this is the scariest movie ever

The witch had a GPS jammer, duh.

>>211814134
>Mike's audio equipment affected the compass, making them walk in circles
I literally never heard that before. Maybe.

>>211813028
You would have to be mind-numbingly stupid to walk in a circle while following a river. It's 100% supernatural

pretty sure they tried finding or following a river and/or the sun, but it "just didn't work" for the sake of the plot.

/v/ here
I played the blair witch video game I am well /v/ersed in the blair witch lore. I was there in that forest and I can confirm the place chances under your feet to make you walk in circles, it happend to me. Then a giant scorpion made out of twigs appeared as the forest final boss but I blasted it with my shotgun.

7/10 I'd probably play the remaster.

>>211814335
They should've asked for a percentage of the profits.

>>211817621
Yeah, the witch, same reason they both randomly find her cabin at night.

>>211819235
In hindsight sure but it was everyone's first time doing anything so they'd never imagine it would have even been released let alone be huge. Plus it was originally supposed to be a fake documentary with supplementary found footage scattered throughout, not the whole movie. You'd think the directors would throw them some dough out of goodwill at least but nope they were cunts about it

>>211813379

This is a good idea and on thinking about it, I didn't notice much natural wildlife noise in the film. But when you play the whole thing and pay attention to that element, there are audible wildlife noises. They DID film it on location so some is inevitable. It's more noticeable during the day, but yes at night it drops off to near-nothing apart from the doctored spoopy human stuff.

>>211819235
(((Hollywood accounting))) would still have fucked them over. Did you know not even huge movies like the Harry Potters and Star Wars can make any profits? So sad.
>According to Lucasfilm, “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” has never made a profit despite the film earning $475 million at the box office against a budget of $32.5 million.
>David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader throughout the original trilogy, revealed he’s never received any residual payments on “ROTJ” because it failed — and continues to fail — to make any net profit.
>“I get these occasional letters from Lucasfilm saying that we regret to inform you that as Return of the Jedi has never gone into profit, we’ve got nothing to send you. Now here we’re talking about one of the biggest releases of all time,” said Prowse. “I don’t want to look like I’m bitching about it,” he said, “but on the other hand, if there’s a pot of gold somewhere that I ought to be having a share of, I would like to see it.”

Is there even a single scene where the witch cast spell unto them that render these guys confused and walk around in circles? If not then I guess that's the big plot hole in this film

>>211813298

>>211814335
No one expected it to gross 250 million, it has never happened before for a random zero budget film and may never happen again.

>>211817621
They were heading south, not directly following the creek.

>>211810453
They didn't want her rubbing that stanky pussey on their beautiful feathers.

why didn't they kick the witch into the creek instead of the map

>>211810438 (OP)
The GPS dont work in a demonic pocket dimension.

that's what I use when it's time to unload

Good question. The plot of Wind Chill pretty cleverly makes it moot.
>>211810479
A tiny budget and a huge windfall.

It was 1999. Cell phones first started having GPS in 1999, and it was really expensive. You're such a child.

>>211817654
Neeeeerd!

>>211813028
The minute they fucked with the wood it was over they were stuck

>>211826022
More like stick, haha!

>>211813028
>so how much of it was the blair witch's supernatural humiliation ritual
All if it once they enter the woods.
>because mike throws the map in the creek for no reaso
Because he's having a breakdown over the fact that the map is useless and they're (unknowningly to them) being forced to walk in circles by supernatural forces.
>heather feels the irresistible urge to film
It's a coping mechanism.
>were they possessed or influenced by the witch
The Witch has them trapped in the woods.

The Sony Pyxis was large and expensive. No way they could have afforded it nor would they have wanted to carry the extra weight and bulk.

>>211822455
'El Mariachi' would be the closest example I can think of.

>>211813028
I think the director wanted to leave it ambiguous how much was magic and how much was the characters being stupid or going insane.
People have died lost in the woods, not in middle of the nowhere but just a mile away from outer suburbs.
Almost all of the movie could be rationalized as some psycho (wo)man messing with teens lost in the woods although the weird looking mind control lifeless standing in the shack at the very end hints at magic (even then the guy was captured some time ago so you could get the same expression with opiods).

>>211826317
The Hooters waitress in Alabama who wandered around the forest near her town for about a month comes to mind. The guys she'd been doing drugs with both were convinced one of them killed her, but they didn't know which one, so they didn't report her missing.

>>211810438 (OP)
>Why didnt they use GPS to get out of the woods?
In 1999? A GPS device would have cost a couple of thousand dollars. They didn't even have the money to shoot on film.
What kids these days don't realize is that that was the era of the dumb phone, you could call people with it and text, but they didn't have camera, GPS or mobile internet.

>>211826452
why did she become brown?

>>211826659
Closer to her natural skin color that she usually uses makeup to conceal.

hard to enjoy

Not profits, no. You need to be very specific about these kinds of formulations. No dice unless you're a pro in the industry with people who know their contract shenanigans backing you up.

>>211828773
>>211819235
Dont do this, the writer of Forrest Gump did that for the movie and by hollywood jew magic, the movie made no "profit" so he got paid shit

>>211821663
She set up the bounded field before the movie starts, genius. Hell, her ancestor's probably did it and she just has to maintain it.

nah, that's Get Out because it's frfr

Just follow the fuckin stream lmao

I wouldn't say anything to the Blair Witch. I would sit down and listen, because that's what nobody did.
