Anyone else think this movie isn't that ambiguous and that certain things (like them walking around the same log) can only be explained by supernatural element and not just some people screwing around with them?
Don't get me wrong, it's still ambiguous about what exactly is stalking and tormenting them but it can't be normal people or something like that.
Yes, mainly due to that scene. Heather was an experienced hiker, who knew how to use a map (before it got kicked in the lake), and a compass, which they were using to keep heading in the same direction, yet they end up in the same starting spot. There's no logical explanation, how that could have happened.
shareI wondered why they didn't start following the river. One of the best orienteering tips I ever got was that if I lost my map and my compass I could at least count on progressive movement (ie, not walking in circles) if I followed a river.
Now, if they had even done that there would be no other explanation other than supernatural forces.
Good point but I still think they would have walked around in circles somehow. The woods had them by the balls in it's lair and there was no going home.
shareThey may have, but I don't remember them explicitly trying to follow the river and *still* looping around. I think they knew they were looping because they kept running into the river or other landmarks.
Maybe they didn't have them explicitly follow the river and loop because it would have been too obvious a sign of supernatural intervention, and thus ruined some of the uncertainty that drove the movie.
Exactly
shareUmmm..yeah.
Hello, how are you, I know you, I knew you. I think I can remember your name
To me, the existence of the house alone proves that there is something supernatural. I believe that in Curse of the Blair Witch it states a large group of townspeople (including some of the parents of the murdered children) burned the house down. Yet at the end of the movie it is clearly standing. And the footage was found in the foundation of the house without a single stone or any of the dirt beneath it disturbed. Someone said "it was as though it materialized there." Many people think they were sent back in time for these reasons.
Unless you don't consider Curse of the Blair Witch or any of the other promotional documentaries/books to be canon I don't see how anyone can deny the supernatural was responsible.
Yeah, it does seem to defy a natural explanation. It's possible that they were just walking around in circles in the woods without realizing it, but it's incredibly unlikely. They had a compass and Heather had been hiking many times before, so she should have known how to avoid that happening. Throughout the film they tried things like following the river and walking due east all day, which might not have led them out of the woods, but should reasonably have prevented them ending up where they started. So something weird was going on, witch or no witch.
sharewell yes it was more than likely super natural instances as to what got them lost.
i always still thought it was a serial killer though that was behind the attacks and pranks and such. the whole movie was great just from the mysterious concept it was based on.
you could argue people were playing with them out there like red necks or a lone serial killer as much as others could argue it was all supernatural and they were actually killed back in time to 1941 or whenever/ whatever.
i always liked to believe someone got them and i'm one of the few that thought mary brown was behind it all.
