It doesnвЂ™t help that none of the kids have made much of an impression either way, so thereвЂ™s no real desire to see them survive, or to meet a suitably gruesome end. Sadly, it canвЂ™t be sustained - as the finale kicks in, the ebb and flow of terror and relief are lost and with them the filmвЂ™s power to frighten. ItвЂ™s crucial for making the film as successfully scary as it is. Would their equipment record it all so cleanly? Perhaps not, but quibbling would be a nit-pick too far when much of the horror - for the audience and the characters - relies on the monster remaining unseen, hidden in the woods, or the darkness, or most often both. And full-body lurches are achieved when the supernatural events start for real. Mini jolts of fear are earned by the timing of entirely innocuous noises - the burst of static from walkie talkies, or even the crunch of the amateur cuts between scenes.

This delaying of the inevitable making the terror all the more effective when it finally does come.Д«ut itвЂ™s the sound design that stands out. Then there are the red herrings that suggest the haunting is about to begin - one character sets out alone to gather firewood before night falls, but returns without incident - which raise the anxiety levels before settling them down again. Tales of supernatural goings-on are traded by the characters - including one about a hand reaching out of a river to snatch a child - while the backstory of Elly Kedward, the Blair Witch herself, is also revealed in more detail. ItвЂ™s quickly - and reluctantly - agreed they will also be allowed to tag along, and then itвЂ™s into the woods: we have our group of six (soon-to-be-unhappy) campers.ДЄs soon as weвЂ™re surrounded by trees - although, weirdly, it was clearly filmed in a different forest - director Adam Wingard, horrorвЂ™s latest hot-young-thing after the blackly comedic but thoroughly stomach-churning YouвЂ™re Next, begins to build the tension. First stop: Lane and Talia (Robinson and Curry), the two Burkittsville locals who found and uploaded the footage. Roping in Peter and Ashley (Scott and Reid), two of his childhood friends, and Lisa (Hernandez), a film student he has romantic designs on, they tool up (drones, GPS trackers and state-of-the-art cameras) and head out. His decision to look for her is motivated by his discovery of a shonky YouTube video he believes shows her alive. Instead, this latest expedition into MarylandвЂ™s Black Hills forest has family connections - lead character James (McCune) is the kid brother of The Blair Witch ProjectвЂ™s doomed documentarian Heather. Set two decades after the first film (released in 1999, the originalвЂ™s footage was вЂfoundвЂ™ in 1994, while this is dated as 2014), it ignores the cash-grab sequel that quickly followed. Scary in the moment, this Blair Witch begins to fade by the time you're home from the cinema.
