What about the *spoiler* figure


What about the hooded figure we see in that one room of the house? I had assumed that was the witch, and the skinny thing was some other monster or hallucination.

reply

This is what I thought as well.

reply

Figured it was Peter. He's the only one of the troupe with a hoodie other than James and we never see him killed.

reply

if you mean the one standing facing the corner and then it vanishes....yes that was Peter. there is another quick shot of a weird woman that appears and reappears to James as well. that might have been Elly kedwards true form.

reply

Yeah I'm talking about the woman who was approaching him but disappears

reply

About what time do we see this woman? I don't remember it.

reply

It's when he was inside the house and he's locked in, I believe, an old bedroom. Lightning flashes and for a moment an old hag-looking lady is moving toward him, I recall her being hooded.

reply

Yeah, she/it looks hooded and seems shorter than he is. Also is accompanied by the shriek.

If we don't see the witch in the film, just the victims, that sort of makes it Heather. She was wearing a hoodie, wasn't she?

reply

I'm not sure. Honestly I didn't think we saw Heather, I thought that was just him being manipulated. I was certain that was the witch, then we never saw it again.

reply

That would be my guess, too, but I'm rolling with the suggestion we never see the witch.

I might have enjoyed this movie more as a standalone if there wasn't so much you had to answer for yourself. There's "use your imagination" and there's "write the story for yourself".

reply

The producer and director confirmed we do NOT see the witch at all.

reply

We DO. Keep in mind how this was marketed/revealed. Also note the actress, Heather Donahue's playful discussions of her involvement in it.

reply

Marketing doesn't mean anything. That's why trailers have scenes that never appear in films. The people that do that sometimes have nothing to do with the actual production.

What playful discussions? I thought I read she wanted nothing to do with it.

reply

It was tested under a different title and she is coy about it in a recent interview. Google is your friend.

reply

Google is your friend.


No, it isn't. Until you provide a link I will assume you are full of *beep*

reply

Hey! Everything on the internets is 100% accurate, Don'tchu know that?!

reply

Let's see... do I bother to do what a self-proclaimed Gigalo could easily do, especially since his idea of motivation sounds like said Gigalo is a Troll, rendering this conversation moot?

Nah.

reply

So you got nothing. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Heather did not want to be associated with this movie and the production respected that wish. That's why they changed the audio from the clip of TBWP. No credits, no special thanks like Josh and Mike.

reply

You need not even Google. Heather Donahue proudly provided the link to the interview. But you're either too lazy to bother knowing the facts before you blather to the Interwebs that you do, little, petty, self-proclaimed IMDb Gigalo (does your mom count?).

P.S. You're doing this all wrong, Troll. I thought I said goodbye to you this morning when I flushed the toilet. Could you go away please (I'm allergic to douchebags, Douche Bigalo.)?

(Little guy looses marbles he has left and it's ON!!)

😴

reply

Still waiting.

reply

Keep waiting. I hope your day is as pleasant as you.

Wait. Isn't it time for your meds? Yell upstairs from the basement to your mom for them.
