11. The Last Thirty Minutes Of Blair Witch 2016 Will Totally Blow You Away
This contains no spoilers! The first hour of the film seems kind of predictable. It’s full of “jump scares”, sort of people jumping up and yelling “boo” kind of thing, together with bits of humor. It’s like James and his friends really haven’t fathomed what’s really going on. But as Adam Wingard has said, the 1999 film was about people being lost in the woods. And the new film is about them being chased, hunted in the woods. And his film comes alive, or dead, in the last half hour or so after James and company make it to the house where the 1999 film ended. At that point, the film becomes almost unbearably tense and downright scary. A big part of that comes from Adam Wingard’s use of sounds. Let’s just say that James’ group make it further in the Blair Witch’s world than even Heather did.
