Answer 3

supposed to be based on a true story but the film itself is fake

Answer 4

Are you serious?  The movie was FAKE.  Don't you think that would have been ALL over the news if it was real?  Do you think if it had been real the parents of those kids would have just let their children's demise be shown in theaters?  

The concept of a witch in that area is real and a movie was based upon it using the hand held camera thing to make it LOOK real.

The incident of three college students missing was not real.

Great movie, though.  Looks like it worked wonders on you.  

I remember when my friend and I went to see it she walked out of the theater thinking it WAS real.  I was like, "No, Holly.  That was FAKE!"

Answer 5

It is not real. Halfway decent actors can cry and act insane.

Answer 6

i heard it was a true story about some witch that haunts the hoods in that area but i  think it's all fiction.

Answer 8

Completely fake.

the movie was a film project for a few college students, as we all know as the actors in the movie. They needed a project that used virtually no budget, no effects, but still made a splash. They wrangled up 2 cameras, enough film, and probably scraped together a film permit. Now they just needed a story. They used an existing town, created the story of the Blair Witch as a back story, and held fake interviews with the towns folk.

They also did create a second movie in the series, further degrading the idea. This one was about a set of kids that came looking for the Blair Witch, and ended up killing eachother out of the belief that one of them was the witch.

So, to answer the question, it was completely made up. The fact that it has as much publicity as it does now is a miracle. It started out in less than 10 theaters. It somehow caught on, becoming a cult classic. Easier said than done.

Answer 9

er wat is it?

Answer 10

It is not real.  The actress in the movie is Heather Donahue.  Look her up on IMDB.

Answer 11

No, not real at all, but quite nauseating to watch with the camera shaking all over the place.

Answer 12

I'm a film maker from Florida. Sorry to tell you but the film was made up. It was pre-planned and the press and myth of it was carefully orchestrated. The film makers were students at a central florida film school. The participants were film students, actors and friends. They shot the "movie" on a home movie camera that they purchased at circuit city, and then returned for a refund. Because of the press on this, Circuit City changed it's return policy.

None of the storyline was real. Now during the production of the movie, the actors were not told ahead of time what to do and they did not have a script. Just prior to shooting each scene, the director told them what supposedly just happened or was happening and then they shot it. This way, it appeared very real because it was not rehearsed.

Another interesting bit of trivia on the movie. The guys who owned the movie, when striking their distribution deal, came up with a layered deal that apparently had never been done. They told the distributors that they could have all gross income up to a certain level. Then they would take a percentage of that level, then the studio got all up to the next level, then the producers got a big percentage of that level and so on. And this was based on the gross, not the profit. This had never been done and the studio didn't care because they were sure the movie would never get that far. Well, surprise! The movie to date has grossed over 141 MILLION dollars, making the two film makers very rich!

Answer 13

Fake movie but was based on a true story.
