In this suspense/horror movie, three film students shooting
a documentary about a murderous witch who supposedly haunts a Maryland forest get lost
deep within the woods. With Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, Joshua Leonard, Bob
Griffith, Jim King, Sandra Sanchez, Ed Swanson and Patricia Decou. [1:22]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A brief reference to an orgy; we see a man's bare chest.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - We see what looks like bloody body parts wrapped in a
shirt and what could be the face of a very decomposed corpse; we also see a dead mouse. We
hear a story about several children being murdered and another about a group of men who
were found gutted and tied together with words carved into their faces. Some shoving and
yelling; a camera is knocked out of a woman's hands. We hear what sounds like screams
from a person in pain. A child puts his finger in his nose, then his mouth. A brief
discussion of flatulence. (Please see editor's note below)
PROFANITY 10 - About 130 F-words, many anatomical references, lots of
scatological references, many mild obscenities and a profane finger gesture. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Myths, murder, evil, wilderness survival.
MESSAGE - There's some truth to the Blair Witch myth. Camping in the
Maryland woods can be very dangerous.
(Note: This movie is extremely suspenseful and has many non-violent, non-gory but
nevertheless very frightening scenes. The film was marketed as a true story in order to
enhance its mystique, but it is wholly fictional.)
