'The Blair Witch Project' is coming to Limited Edition Blu-ray Box on November 11th!

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT 
Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set 

It redefined a genre and sent shockwaves through cinemas worldwide and now, 25 years on from its original release, horror phenomenon The Blair Witch Project, the seminal film that put found footage firmly on the map, returns with a meticulously crafted Limited Edition Blu-ray Box set from horror aficionados Second Sight Films.

The must-own box set arrives on 11 November 2024 and is presented in a stunning new rigid slipcase with new artwork by Timothy Pittides and comes complete with a 184-page hardback book with archive production materials, new essays and an additional book ‘Heather’s Journal’.

There will also be a Standard Edition Blu-ray release and both versions are packed with exclusive extras, including a brand new restoration from the Hi-8 videotapes and 16mm film elements, supervised and approved by directors Eduardo Sanchez (V/H/S/2, Yellowjackets) and Daniel Myrick (Triple 7, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2) and producers Greg Hale and Michael Monello, plus a brand new documentary, new commentary, previously unseen video footage, archival bonus material and more.

In 1994 three student filmmakers, Heather Donahue, Michael Williams and Joshua Leonard venture into 
the Black Hills Forest to uncover the truth behind the local legend of the Blair Witch. Armed with nothing 
but their cameras and curiosity, they disappear without a trace – until their footage was discovered one 
year later. 
What unfolds is an unrelenting descent into fear, as their last days are laid bare in what has become one 
of the most disturbing and influential found-footage films of all time.
Raw, relentless and eerily real, this visceral, nerve-shredding cinematic landmark taps into primal fears 
and changed the face of horror forever.

Experience this groundbreaking horror like never before… but beware The Blair Witch is watching you.
