“Blair witch”: alternative endings

Do you remember the ending of the movie “Blair Witch”? Not the “witch”, which was filmed by Adam Wingard, last year visited the box office, and the original “Blair Witch project: Course from the world” (The Blair Witch Project) Daniel mirica and Eduardo Sanchez – mocumentary-a movie that became a sensation in 1999 and to this day remains one of the highest grossing and most profitable horror films in history?

Considering how many years have passed since the premiere of the film, is not a sin and to remind. The heroine, Heather, went down into the basement of the creepy house she found in the woods, where he saw his friend Mike, standing near the wall, with his back to her. Then her attacked by some invisible force, her camera fell on the floor… no One can say for sure what exactly happened to Heather at the moment, but it does not care, because it was creepy.

However, as it turns out, the “of the Blair Witch project” could have a different ending.

By the way, if you missed it-recently we told about alternative endings to “the Shining” by Stanley Kubrick.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, sánchez and Myrick remembered that they had to remove several versions of the ending. Despite the fact that the audience test screenings of the movie final loved because it was really scary, the audience was also confused and surprised by this koncovka, now non-canonical. So bought the rights to the picture company Artisan Entertainment through their representatives demanded that the directing Duo is back in the location set and made a few alternative versions of the finale. It was an attempt at the last moment before a smart hire to make adjustments to the finished film.

Mirik Says:

They wanted to make something more clear and understandable [for the audience]. We returned to the house and removed all the endings that ed and I came up with in the process of working on scenarium.

Among these versions was final: Mike hung, crucified on wood sticks, folded in the shape of a man, mutilated and bloody.

Sanchez also explained the essence of the Artisan-final, who eventually was saved:

Here is an interview with a guy who talked about the myth around the murderer Rustin Parr. As the forced one child to stand in the corner while he killed the others. We felt that if we focus on what is said at the beginning of the film, the audience will be able to associate it with the ending.

In the end, as you know, Miriku and Sanchez was able to defend his version of the finale.
