The Blair Witch Project gives a little bit of backstory in the beginning but once they cross into the woods, all bets are off. We do not know how or why what happens to those filmmakers happens.

Very fun to watch! The attention to detail of the witch's lair and the witch herself is impressive. Also, forgetting my recollection of Grimm's fairy tales, I didn't know if Hansel and Gretel make it out or not. I was glued watching and the hairs on my arm kept raising up. Thank you for sharing, I had been searching for this a while back. I'm recommending 'BROTHERS' which was Eggers' proof of concept for THE VVITCH.
