The Blair Witch Project: A Dossier
been reading the dossier of the blair witch project. if you still didn't know (WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!), it's entirely fictional, but the dossier made the events sound real. it really blows my mind that the people behind the movie went through all that trouble to produce that book that would contain the project's back story. the fabricated police reports, heather donahue's journal, transcripts, letters, wow. some people are really good storytellers, huh?
i found the "investigation" interesting though that it kind of freaked me out. like, them finding the backpack with the reels from montgomery college in the wall with no disturbance of the soil surrounding it that signifies that nobody planted the backpack recently; and the hermit rustin parr hearing voices of an old woman, making him abduct children back in the day, but leaving kyle brody unharmed because he wasn't "one of them" (i didn't even understand what that meant); and the search party that was found dead near the creek tied up to each other and disemboweled; that the 3 missing students seemed to have climbed a steep which is not found in the black hills map; and even the house they came across in the footage that looks very similar to the one that was burned down in 1941. the investigator even took the hoax route, looking for evidence that there was foul play of some sort, or that the kids were mentally disturbed.
it tests people's faith and reason which is really creepy. it begs to ask the question if people just force themselves to believe in reason because they are afraid of the possibility that something is bigger than them, or at least just beyond them. i guess this has made the movie successful because it has imposed a psychological fear in the viewers. we have not even seen the witch or any other supernatural in the footage, rather we are only made aware of stories or urban legends by the villagers and manifestations that peace has been disturbed, yet it haunts us when we've only imagined a creature in our head but have not encountered such experience in real life. i mean, since when is standing in the corner of the room horrifying? it's like time out has become a horror movie in itself.
