By showing the witch now the film has lost all credibility, there is no more weight to witches presence. This film could easily be made better and left the witch out completely.
And stop giving the witch so much frekin power!!!
That wasn't the witch. The creators already confirmed that. And I feel like giving her so much power makes her scarier because it's basically facing something you can't defeat. And come on, it's not like you expected those kids to make it out alive anyways so why are you so upset that the witch had enough power to kill them all?
shareCourse it was the witch, don't believe that crap the writers are saying lol.
They are just trying to make out that their film is more clever than it really is.
They probably had second thoughts after finding out how disappointed people were with the appearance of the witch.
Nah, I know how Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett are and if they say something is different than what they think it is in their movies, it is. They said the same things about You're Next and The Guest (with people saying they seemed similar to other movies) and they were completely right
shareYou aren't going to convince this person. They have made up their mind.
shareWhat is wrong with having your mind made up? lol
Anyway, I am not that stubborn, I can be convinced with decent evidence.
But simply saying "Nah, I know how Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett are and if they say something is different than what they think it is in their movies, it is"
Isn't going to change my mind is it?
Oh okay, if you are sure....
Seriously though, it wouldn't make sense for that to be anything other than the witch.
It had a witches face and long stretched arms just like she was described earlier in the film.
The writers are being pretentious.
What evidence could they provide to convince you it wasn't the witch? The words came right out their figurative mouths.
There are lots of things in this flick that don't make sense. It not being the witch would be minor compared to the foot injury/root thing or how they looped back to make the tape that led them to go into the woods to begin with. What was the point of putting Lisa in the tunnel just to assault her on the other side? What were the lights? Why screw around with any of it when all she had to do was make a stick totem and break it?
Well, they could explain WTF is was actually supposed to be at least lol.
There wasn't any other indication in the film as to what it is, so it's not like we can figure it out ourselves.
I like mysteries and films that make you think.....But this shouldn't be one of them, it is a simple horror film about a witch.
The writers are trying to make out that it is more than that which I think is pretentious.
So, until they tell us what it was supposed to be and it makes sense......It was the witch.
They're not going to say because, my guess, they're hoping for a sequel.
That's one of the more annoying things about it. So much of it feels like an obvious first installment.
It's not the writers saying it's not the witch that I have a problem with, it's that they're taking a dump on the Blair Witch legend by including other entities in the woods, be they minions of the Blair Witch or that the Blair Witch and these other nasties are symptoms of a greater evil force.
Rather than that adding to the legend, it dilutes it. It really does feel like they're just adding creative wiggle room for a glut of sub-par sequels ala Paranormal Activity.
Pretty much. Although the Witch has always been known to have minions--Parr, possibly Josh--the idea that it has a pet drider is bothersome.
It seems like they attempted to answer some of the mysteries from the first one but instead just made it more confusing. That's why I believe them when they say it isn't her because it fits in with everything else they messed up and left hanging.

I just want to say that "You're Next" is worth a watch, much better than this film.
While they are known for slightly unconventional takes on genre, that just didn't happen here. Blair Witch is just a prettier, and louder version of the first film. Regardless the of whether it's the actual witch or not is irrelevant since the film is hollow either way.
Does anyone have a link to a screenshot of that thing?
shareI've said this so many times! Each person has their own interpretation of fear,this made the first Blair witch scary. Now a monster removes that sense of unknown.
