布莱尔女巫

我希望能少一些再少一些伪纪录片,这类片子成本低,镜头晃来晃去,在折磨观众,把观众弄晕.
看电影本来是种享受,是很愉悦的事情,但看伪纪录片,是种实实在在的摧残和折磨.
本片更是烂.
电影主要讲布莱尔女巫在黑山林被人们折磨死,女巫报复引诱人来森林并杀死他们.男子和好友被女巫用录像带引诱来黑山林寻找失踪的姐姐,女巫一个个杀死他们.
低劣的执导,粗糙的画面,情节一般,这种片拍出来干嘛?

  我没有看过之前的布莱尔女巫， 所以不评价之前， 单看这部的话， 我个人认为还可以， 首先故事中含盖了很多隐藏剧情， 第一个很明显，但遇到了女巫吗，不能回头， 回头就会被杀， 所以为什么最后一个女主，一直用camera 反光自己的身后， 第二点小屋出险地房就是那颗短树的地方，录像带也是那里找到的， 第一次看到树的时候没有屋子， 然后穿越那颗树后就一直，鬼打墙， 闹铃已经响起，天还没亮， 被kick 一男一女回来说走了五六天， 而且他们才两天。女巫出现时会伴有断树声音， 出现，并且有鬼哭和狼嚎。
 本剧中还有一个隐藏剧情， 就是女巫应该可以控制时空，那个youtube上录像实际上就是主角自己录得，那个镜头出现说是姐姐的头像其实是最后个女主角。 男主死亡前说的sorry，其实就是最后死的女主。也就是主角的命运刚开始就被注定了死亡。 而那个camera 最后被一男一女找到放到了网上， 这也就是为什么后加入的男女会知道那个十字架会出现， 不过镜头乱晃确实增加真实性， 但是我看的加体感的， 凳子乱晃， 黑女从树上掉下来的时候我都要被晃吐了。

As an oddly recent fan of the original Blair Witch Project (having watched it about ten years late, in my horror film class just last month), I walked into Blair Witch with much excitement, and high optimism founded on the rave reviews from horror film review sites such as Bloody Disgusting: "Blair Witch won’t affect seasoned horror fans (as much), but rest assured that it will destroy everyone else. This film will hurt people. It’s the emotional experience that transcends traditional narrative storytelling and ascends to a place of Nirvana.” Perhaps it is partly to do with this elevated expectation, but Blair Witch really did not live up to the hype.

While Adam Wingard kept things moving with something literally jumping every ten minutes (and emphasized by a soundtrack that was a mix between the MGM lion logo on repeat and someone dropping a bowling ball on the floor above also on repeat) or so, and there were moments of hilarious genre self-reflexivity, Blair Witch ultimately went nowhere new, and certainly does not stay with the audience. The story is much the same as the original, except this time it is Heather’s brother, James, who is heading into the woods. He believes he has found evidence that his sister is still alive, in the woods, and takes three friends (Lisa, Ashley, and Peter) with him to try to find her. The two locals who were suppose to be their guides also ends up tagging along for the trip.

In this case, more is not better — retelling the “lost in the woods” story with double the cast, and much, much better film equipment (they even bring a drone with them) meant a much fuller screen experience (more angles) and a much faster pace (more things happening crammed into the same hour and a half allotment) means that the rhythm of the film becomes rushed and utterly lacking in the restraint that was the best part about the original. And the addition of the new camera angles and highly exaggerated soundtrack only exacerbates this flaw further. Instead of a slow build-up, the film rams into high gear almost as soon as they enter the woods, and the jump scares continue right to the end, with almost no variation.

There are a few gems in the film, such as the meta humour in the scene where after yet another person pops on to the screen accompanied by an inexplicably loud sound effect, Lisa exasperatedly exclaims: “Everyone stop doing that!” There are also some fairly inventive horror moments, such as the events surrounding Ashley’s foot wound, which simultaneously invokes proper body horror and camp, and the claustrophobic shots of Lisa trying to escape the house via a very tight underground tunnel.

But these moments do not make up for the incessant and very cheap jump scares that comprise the bulk of the film. The story is almost an exact retelling of the original, but with none of the elegance.
