Regissören berättar om Blair Witch 2

Joe Berglinger, regissören till "Blair Witch 2", talade med Eon Magazine om filmen.




"To make the movie relative to me as a documentarian, I didn't want to run through the woods, shake the camera and continue the story where the first one left off. I wanted to do a horror movie that tackled a social issue. My concern was that people are not discerning enough, and when they consume media, they assume that if something is shot on video, it's real. I was fascinated by the real-life events of the town of Burkittsville being overrun by Blair Witch fans. I thought that would be a cool way to get a story going for a second movie.




The second movie treats the first as a cultural phenomenon. The film is about five obsessed movie fans who go to Burkittsville and take a tour through the woods. Then something creepy happens. They emerge from the woods, and one of the other bold decisions of the sequel is it doesn't take place entirely in the woods. It takes place in an urban-like interior space. I looked on real-life events and capitalized on [them] too--exploring the idea of [whether] should we trust video. Is it real or not?"
