‘I didn’t get the ending though…’
It seems like forever and a day that the media hype train exploded for 1999 horror filmThe Blair Witch Project,the low-budget horror flick that told a grim tale of three kids and a really bad plan to go ghost hunting. It was a rip-roaring success, of course, leading to that amazingly awfulBook of Shadowssequel. Remember that, kids?
Developer Bloober Team is hoping to recreate the tense, fearful atmosphere that swallowed up Heather and her chums in their upcoming video gameBlair Witch, which was first announced back at E3 in June. The team has pushed out a new trailer, titled “Insanity”, which features troubled protagonist Ellis – and a faithful canine companion – as they trudge deep into the notorious Black Hills Forest, in search of what, I wonder?
The trailer appears fairly light on action, so perhapsBlair Witchwill be a more subdued, exploratory affair, which is better fitting for the licence than having Ellis take a shotgun to a host of demon spawn. We gotDOOMfor that, after all. Hopefully,Blair Witchwill provide fans with frightening, otherworldly experience when it finally comes crawling out of the woods, just in time for Halloween.
Blair Witchlaunches on PC and Xbox One October 30.
