What we can tell you is how effective it is as both sequel, and terrifying horror movie in its own right. And that’s just about all we’re willing to reveal in terms of plot, as the fun in watching Blair Witch comes from the film’s many surprises. And so six amateur filmmakers head into the Black Hills Forest in search of Heather. Along the way they visit Lane (Wes Robinson) and his girlfriend Talia (Valorie Curry) who posted the aforementioned footage online using the pseudonym ‘Darknet666.’ But oddball Lane refuses to reveal where he found the tape unless the pair of them are allowed to join the hunting party.

His girlfriend Lisa (Callie Hernandez) decides to document the trip for her film class – hence the many cameras – while friends Peter (Brandon Scott) and Ashley (Corbin Reid) join them for the adventure. Heather’s brother James (James Allen McCune) has become obsessed with her disappearance, trawling the web for clues to her whereabouts, and stumbling on YouTube footage that convinces him to make his own journey to Burkitsville.

And with technology having improved over the intervening years, that footage is shot on webcams and head cameras (with built-in GPS no less) and even using drones. Play Blair Witch ignores cash-grab sequel Book of Shadows, and instead picks up 20 years on, again using recovered footage, this time found in May 2014.
