Watch the full episode here: th-cam.com/users/liveXjoReqQqzco?feature=share What do you think of this announcement? Did you pre-order this? Let us know below! 00:00 The Blair Witch Project (packaging, features, price, should we import?) 10:30 What does the chat think of this release?
It including The Festival Cut, which is about an hour longer, in addition to more deleted scenes is interesting because certain versions of Blair Witch that appeared on TV over the years have included various bits of the Festival Cut to beef up the TV runtime. You could find some of those clips online.
I paid $75 ($50 + $25 international shipping) to get this, and bought a $90 piece to convert my Oppo 203 to region free. Honestly worth every penny. This release is the absolute gem of my collection now
I'm in the USA, and have a region A, 4k player. The Panasonic ub820. Both disc work. When inserting the disc, it goes the a blank player menu, all you do is hit the "top menu" on the remote and takes you right to the DVD menu and everything plays perfect. Just wanted to share this.
This one freaked me out in '99. I was 14 at the time and we had my friend's older brother pretend to be our guardian to get us into the theater back when Willowbrook Mall in Houston still had one! I'm in on the regular release. I don't want the extra stuff as those box sets take up too much shelf space. Plus it lowers the eyeroll factor from the wife.
It’s a shame the sticks and stones feature that was made for blockbuster is still not included for the listed features. It’s been stuck on vhs forever and has a great ending. The burketsville 7 & shadow of the Bailey’s witch would be great to add but since they were made for the sequel it’s fine that those aren’t included but sticks and stones was for the original film and adds a lot to it.
Haven’t seen this (or the sequel) since they came out on the big screen all that time ago. But here I am, ordering the full fat special Edition from second sight. Using my UK privileges here. Always love your videos, guys.
Downside is it’s region locked and if one doesn’t have a region free player, one can get it but then they’re going to have it on a shelf for years not watching it until the day they get one. And I have seen people say “Now Americans know how we feel when “insert company name here” releases this film or that film on Blu-Ray that’s region locked” and while I get where you’re coming from, it’s really annoying when American made films like this are only going to be playable in a region that’s not Region A, so those of us who don’t have region free players, we’re screwed out of getting this release. The stuff that comes with this set looks amazing and I just wish this was region free. I’ve never had a film released by Second Sight, but I’ve heard some Blu-Ray releases of theirs are region free and it’s a shame they weren’t able to make this one region free, though I guess it’s due to Lionsgate owning the rights to the film here and whether we’re going to get a version of this release in Region A is unknown now, especially since this version has 2 cuts of the film and restored from the original sources unlike the previous home video releases. Here’s hoping Lionsgate sees how much people want this version of the film and is able to get ahold of all this stuff, from the transfers, the two versions of the film and special features and has it available in Region A Land.
Yeah I was like 11 or 12, I thought it was real too, not for very long, but man, that had a huge part in me being creeped out by it, it really left a mark on me as a kid, rented at blockbuster, and man, what an experience.
I live near Blair and went there with my camera and talked to people and recreated the movie and still don’t know if it’s real. I would pay any amount for this set if it was region free because of the cut that the director said it’s the way it should be shown but theatres didn’t have the technology
I know that this release is marked as Region B blocked, but, did you try to watch the movie in a region A blu ray player? I want the movie but my player isn't region free.
Was all on board till I saw it was region locked🤦🏻♂️ My Panasonic player has a workaround to play some but not all region free discs but for the price ima hold off.
I just want the imprint version for Book of Shadows. I love that movie more than one should 😅 Even with its flaws, I think Book of Shadows is fascinating. But yeah, I do have the standard edition of the first film from Second Sight ordered as well. Second Sight do good work
I remember going to see big daddy in the cinema back in 1999 and I distinctly remember seeing the trailer to the blair witch project before watching that shitty Adam sandler movie. I also remember seeing a poster for saving private Ryan on my way out of the theatre. What a year for movies it was and there was I paying money to watch Adam sandler lol
Had the ending been different, I possibly would have been duped... But at 17, I knew how films were made, laws, etc. As I said in the video, just imagine that was you or I, and our families were like, "Yup, go ahead, turn a profit off our grief and entertain the masses with our personal loss..." I was a cynical 17 year-old.
I can't justify buying this release. I love the packaging. It's outstanding, but I don't absolutely love the movie. I can't spend this much money for the Blair witch.
I prefer the theatrical cut. You know, the cut we've been watching for the last 25 years. That one of the Blair Witch executives has said that this Second Sight release has the cut that was meant to be seen kind of reminds me of George Lucas re-editing the original Star Wars trilogy 25 years later and saying those were the versions he wanted to release. Don't mess with them a quarter of a century later.
This isn’t re-editing, this is the way the filmmakers originally shot the movie that has been restored to be played on a blu ray/HI-DEF, the way people saw the movie in theaters and the way it is on dvd/vhs is not the same movie, this release is finally gonna allow those who never experienced that to be able to for the first time

All the Americans complaining about region locks? Ha. This is how we feel when Shout! Factory lock all of their shit to Region A.
I'd say we're hypocrites, but I don't want to remove the double bacon cheeseburger from my American mouth.
And goddammit, the Blair Witch is Murican!

This is great news! I was just thinking about how I haven’t had motion sickness in a while.

Yeah scared me too, I was like 12, my cousin and I thought it was real, we didn’t know any better 😂.
Wish this wasn’t region locked

I remember when you could watch the entire movie on TH-cam in 2006!

Always love your videos, guys.
Proper creepy cover from Second Sight. One of my favorite horror movies can't wait for this
The actors didn't sign up for the money. Bet they're thrilled with this.

The third one is not a remake. It's a sequel.
Give me a N.A. release with just a slip and I'll buy it. I don't need the extra stuff. Plus, I don't have a region free player.
Same, I just want the movies.
I don’t care about all that extra crap.
My friend and I ate mushrooms, and went to the theater to see it.
Absolutely scared the shit out of us.😂

I bought this. Far as late night with the devil I got the second sight and umbrella.
Shame not coming for Halloween but excited for this

I am in two minds. It could be a collectors item, dunno.I love the film, it would be a steal at £30 but $45 feels a tad steep. I'll sleep on it...
It wasn't a remake the newest one was also a sequel.
I still don't really think the Blair Witch Project needs a 4k transfer but we'll see.
Eh, you think found footage would look great in 4k? Idk man, might lose its charm.
You can't 4K release a hi8 tape. Unless it's snake oil.
Sadly it is Region B Blu-ray.
So its pointless to buy if you dont have a region free player?
Unless you really dig that artwork...
North America please.
It came out when I was 13. I thought it was real.
Had the ending been different, I possibly would have been duped... But at 17, I knew how films were made, laws, etc. As I said in the video, just imagine that was you or I, and our families were like, "Yup, go ahead, turn a profit off our grief and entertain the masses with our personal loss..."

@russceasetheruss5360 they were raising awareness.
Bummer this is region B; otherwise I'd be on board.
Blair Witch Project is the only good/scary found footage movie
I can't justify buying this release. I love the packaging. It's outstanding, but I don't absolutely love the movie. I can't spend this much money for the Blair witch.
I prefer the theatrical cut. You know, the cut we've been watching for the last 25 years.

One of the most overhyped horrible movies imop dont be a 🐑
you're one of the hater sheep.
