布莱尔女巫

F13:《布莱尔女巫》～导演：亚当.温加德～惊悚片，若干年前森林中姐姐失踪之谜，让这位弟弟也拿起了摄像机，和朋友们一起探寻森林深处的隐秘～所以，影片会在多个摄像机的镜头中展现，也许是导演的、也许是弟弟的、也许，又是那朋友的手持，如何这样交错展现又不让你错乱讨厌呢？！你可以猜到，那位导演，一定比较年轻的，年轻人才会这样来玩儿，结合上很好的声效，玩儿一样的完成自己的作品，这是件多有趣的事情啊～听着民谣，谈着恐怖片，俺会意李文斯顿.泰勒，你先唠叨着，俺分神一会儿，他也不语，继续唠着他的叨[呲牙]～

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.

其实导演架在老版《女巫布莱尔》上是玩了新花样.你瞧: 1.黑人男二在查看女友受伤的脚掌伤口处发现似乎有什么东西在动，之后女孩从流脓的右腿伤口处抽处了什么东西(寄生物)并快速仍掉(快的我没看清具体什么), 2.EMO男在编了几个树枝后,众人受到惊吓，之后什么东西又模仿他编了跟多树枝,3 镜头给了很多次被拦腰截断的大树.4.夜晚的树林总传来庞然大物撞击地面的声音.5.总有很强的电流干扰，摄影器材，对讲机等. 6.黑人男二被忽然断裂的大树砸倒,他女友被什么打下树梢后被拖走.7.最后男一在废弃楼里看到的强烈的白光.8.树林中迟迟无法到来的白昼.9.又瘦又高的"女巫".10.最后在男一面对墙壁被拖走后,女一因为听到了男一当时已一模样口吻说的一句:对不起"而回了头也被拖走... 这一切都说明:没有女巫,.. 而是外星人与它的飞船,在那里收集地球人当实验品...只是大家从开头就听了女巫的传说,都一直以为是女巫.

  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。
