The Watts Bitch Project (B) which follows white kids who go searching in the hood and meet with bodily harm. The network features comedy interludes like "Horror Storytellers" (an effeminate Jason-ish character TALKS about why he kills) and quickie gags like Bob the Zombie at an Undead Anonymous meeting, or the fly-by-night lawyer who earns compensation for victims of horror-movie crimes. The disc takes its name for Pauly Shore's uninspired spoof, but it's actually a collection of Californian parodies framed around a mythical cable channel called The Woods. Tent mates get friendly in The Bel Air Witch Project. And of those, a handful have found their way to DVD, with an even smaller number earning careful scrutiny in CineSchlock-O-Rama. And still others say, "Heck, I could do that!" Half of those folks actually MADE a Blair Witch knock-off. Made others queazy (either from the wobbly camera work, or from its inescapable marketing blitz). While on the big screen, the faux documentary scared the wits out of many a viewer. The Blair Witch Project was a film that divided audiences like no other.The Blair Witch Project exploded like a money-scented smoke bomb in Tinseltown - caused studio suits to spill their lattes - and mushroomed its $32,000 budget to more than $140 million at the box office. One half were on the edge of their seats the whole time, the other half wondered why everyone was getting worked up over the shake-o-vision camera work and the fact that you never actually saw anything. The idea that there would be a game to follow up the film's success was inevitable. Exactly what you would do in this game was not.
Let's face it, Blair Witch could have been a FPS, RTS, RPG and just about any other acronym you could think of. It turned out to be an 'action/adventure', which completely buggered its chances with the gaming cognoscenti. The game is set in the one-horse town of Burkitsville, where all the atrocities took place in the film.
You play Elspeth 'Doc' Holliday, a member of Spookhouse a top-secret government agency set up to track spooky things (yes, the very same organization featured in Nocturne: expect obligatory appearances from familiar characters like the "Stranger").
You have been sent in to investigate the murder of seven children by one Rustin Parr, a loner who lives in the forest by town, which is said by local folklore to be haunted by the Blair Witch, who possessed Parr and forced him to murder the children. Naturally, anything relating to murders, rituals, witches and ancient evil is going to be popular, and many fans of the film are going to rush out and buy the game no matter what it's like.which would probably be a mistake. If the film confused you, then you don't stand a chance with the game. You'd think the intro would tell you what's going on: Who you are and what you're doing.
