#BlairWitch had far worse opening w/e at box office then my 2000 BW sequel. It’s because this was his first narrative film, and let his explanation serve as a cautionary tale for directors whose ambition makes them vulnerable to shaky companies desperate to capitalize on monetizing a previous hit.

Now, Berlinger is a renowned maker of documentaries that include Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster, and if he and Bruce Sinofsky hadn’t made those three groundbreaking Paradise Lost expose movies, the trio known as the West Memphis 3 would likely still be in prison or dead, for child murders they did not commit. It prompted the maker of the first one, Blair Witch 2 helmer Joe Berlinger, to offer up this social media posting this morning. Last weekend’s frightfully modest showing for the reboot Blair Witch marked the second painful attempt to recapture the magic.
