Kinda silly question...but what the heck did they eat?!


The days they stayed at Jeff's house....what did they eat? Jeff had almost no food, except for the 'old takeout chicken' that we see Kim eat.
It seemed all they did was drink beer and coffee?????

They were only at Jeff's house overnight, weren't they? Plus there was that tender juicy owl just lying there...

It was a lie.

They were never at the house. It was all in their heads. Just like the murders.

Watch the movie again. You'll understand what I mean.

They had to have been in the house or the police wouldn't have found bodies there.

The police didn't find the bodies there. Oh, but they did confiscate the camera with the girl hanging!
Oh, that blows that theory.

They were at the house. They killed the tourists, under a 'possession' of sorts by the Blair Witch. The final scenes prove this.

The Witch played with their heads the entire time, completely twisted their reality. Just like the 3 teens in the first film.
The final realization of the whole film is that the Witch didn't make them do anything they didn't really 'want' to do deep down:
Jeff & Stephen wanted to have sex with Erica: they do.

Kim wanted to get back at the rude store clerk, she does.

The whole group hated and wanted to take revenge on the tourists: they did.

Tristen wanted a miscarriage: she got one. With the Witch as an unexpected, unwanted 'catch'.

The group wanted to 'find' the Blair Witch. They did.

They were at the house.

Are you sure about that? Look at Jeff's house...and then compare it to the front of the police station as they're dragging them in, in front of the media.

And I bet the front of the police station looks a lot like the hospital Jeff was in.

I mean, what's up with the two chairs sitting at one end of Jeff's house's bridge?

Who's files are those? Not the police...

"They shouldn't have let you out..." I don't think they did.

I think the bridge/similarity to the police station was supposed to be a premonition of things to come. This film is full of those.

What about the 2 chairs? I didn't see anything pertinent in those. He just had chairs he sat in most likely.

They are the police files. I read that online, that the files the group 'find' in Jeff's house weren't really "there" at all. They were part of the Witch's mind games. They ALWAYS were the police's files.
I thought this element was not executed well at all in the film.

But if they were police files, why those types of pictures? Why wouldn't they be mug shots?

The police showed footage of Jeff hiding Erica's body in a closet in his house... so I think right there is proof that they did go to his house.

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Anyone notice that, of the 5 people killed, two males were 'unidentified'? And we learn that Erica lied about who she was...so she is, in effect, 'unidentified'?

Two males and one female are unidentified. Are they, sort of, the ghosts of the people who went missing in the first film?

Weren't the five unidentified people the ones from the other tour group?

The five people killed were the tour group. But of those five people, two males were unidentified, according to one of the newscasters at the end of the film.

Agreed, great post. The BlairWitch made them act out their inner feelings.

What? Okay, I'll have to watch it again.
But you might be right.

reply

There's no possession stuff.
They just mixed to much drugs and the hysteria became real.
They didn't eat, that is why the "high" persisted.
Tristen was not that high because she had being attended after the abortion.
Erika died of overdose.
The others continued on weed and coffee.

reply


The film made it clear that there was SOME supernatural actions. The nail file alone was proof.

reply

It's really ambiguous.

My guess is that they were so high and paranoid to the point that hunger didn't matter, they just had to find out what was on the tapes. Jeff was loosing his sanity (What was left of it,) Tristen was either going nuts or was actually possessed, Stephen couldn't come to grips with everything, Erica was being all loopy and Kim was the only sane one there as she actually ate some of that chicken.

I do believe the witch was involved but also their personal conditions affected the outcome as well. The Witch didn't need to do anything because in some of the cases they were already loosing it.

The whole "crazy the whole time/group delusion" thing works as well. That's caused by the ambiguous nature it was intended to be. It actually works in that way.

More stuff that was cut out of the film, no time to make sense out of anything, what a piece of trash

reply

Well, I do know Kim ate at least one piece of that "old takeout chicken". lol IIRC, someone(I'm thinking Jeff but might have been Stephen...sorry, haven't watched this in awhile) hallucinates she is eating the owl but then it flashes and she's holding the chicken instead.

I have learned from experience... that a modicum of snuff can be most efficacious.
