Some movie legacies endure, and some grow deeper with time. Now, the groundbreaking 1999 horror sensation The Blair Witch Project® is presented in the newly remastered hi-def quality that fans and newcomers deserve. This definitive 2-disc Blu-ray™ edition includes the filmmaker-approved revitalized original theatrical cut and festival cut restored from the original Hi8 videotapes and 16mm film elements, available in the U.S. for the first time, plus the original 35mm theatrical exhibition release. Relive the terror of three film students who disappeared in the Maryland woods while shooting a documentary about the local Blair Witch legend. All that remains is bone-chilling found video footage … and unanswered questions.
