Same plot as Blair Witch Project but better effects


This movie is the same EXACT story as Blair Witch Project with obvious differences. Olivia Taylor Dudley's boobs should get top billing, pudgy Leonardo DiCaprio was good but other than that the story is the same. Go into a scary place, it's fun at first, turns scary, friend gets taken and have to go to creepy places to find him. Keep hearing him, but can't find him.

There are probably ten thousand movies that are more similar to The Blair Witch Project. You're right though, Chernobyl Diaries is "the exact same story as Blair Witch Project with obvious differences," in the same way that The Godfather is the exact same story as Wall-E, but with obvious differences.

How was this the EXACT same story?!?!?

Could this be considered 'found footage' if none of the characters were holding a camera filming the whole thing?

Thats the plot of literally 90% of all horror movies, BWP was hardly the first.

Blair Witch Project didn't have any special effects.

And it was still miles better than this crap trying to copy it. My favorite part is the cheap masks the mutants were wearing. Whenever light would fall on them you could clearly see how bad the masks were.
