Blair Witch is a forest horror walk that lives until it starts playing the game.

I followed the 1999 film and got it in places: branches, a compass, a camera, a dog, the feeling that someone had already circled the camp. Buller is the best version of Bloober. As long as the dog reacts to sound and looks in the direction you're afraid to go, the game works. Fog, crackling, film in hand—this is an honest "Blair Witch" in a playful form, without unnecessary frills.

Then the studio's typical problems begin. The puzzles are crude, the forest repeats itself, the story wants to be deeper than the film and gets confused as a result. The fear relies on atmosphere, not structure: as soon as you understand the route and the jokes about the time of day, the tension drops. The ending is at odds with itself and won't satisfy everyone.

This isn't a major horror film, and it's not a new genre. But it's a great evening screening for those who love this particular legend: the forest, the camera, the dog, and the feeling that someone is already behind you. If you're expecting Resident Evil in the woods, you'll be disappointed. If you want to wander where the film disappeared, it's worth a night's sleep.
