Synopsis:
A group of obsessed movie fans of Summer 1999's 'The Blair Witch Project' head out into the black forest of Maryland to tour the sights and history of the legendary witch, which the movie was based on. After a night of partying and drinking, the group wakes up with a loss of memory and the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur... Is it a case of mass hysteria? or is there truly evil in these woods after all.. This edit turns the movie into a psychological thriller rather than a horror slasher, a night of partying and boozing slowly descending into madness and delusions. The movies plot will also now not be spoiled immediately, and all will be revealed within the last 8 minutes of the film, leaving the viewers in a state of shock and surprise - just as the director intended. This edit, unlike the theatrical cut will not spoil anything.

Intentions:
There has been many attempts to edit Blair Witch 2, though there is many edits only so few have truly been great. However great...not entirely accurate, and some editors have taken their own ideas upon the film in which are not accurate or true to the directors original vision. Some of these edits would have to use 'guess work' and there was no other way for them to really know certain things about the movie until now... I luckily have acquired rare resources and knowledge about the production of this film, so as a huge fan of the movie I have brought it upon myself to finally fix the film in the true vision of the director Joe Berlinger, with incredible amounts of detail and accuracy whilst staying true to the directors cut.

Change List:
It was my first edit so I was learning things as I went on. I worked on this edit for three years using Vegas 16. I also used other programs like Audacity and Topaz AI Video Enhance. I watched many Youtube guides, and was assisted by a friend sometimes too. I've since made more edits with the knowledge and experience I've gained from working on this edit, and it's really been a great help. I also spoke to several people who have worked on the Blair Witch franchise in order to make sure everything I did and changed was lore friendly and made sense. My goal when making this edit was for it to become the unofficial directors cut, so I had to really dig deep and stick true to absolutely every single minor detail and information that I had available to myself.

Additional Notes:
What is the Artisan Removal Edits purpose? This edit brings the movie as close as possible to the Directors Cut version of the film, removing all Artisan studio tampering such as music, asylum re-shoot scenes, gore scenes, detective interrogation misplaced scenes, whilst bringing Blair Witch 2 back to it's original form. It is a more 'raw' viewing experience due to some of the loss of quality in restored scenes, though minor, when compared to the theatrical versions scenes. All newly added scenes have been upscaled using AI upscaling technology with added film grain. This is by far the closest thing we'll get to a true directors cut version of the film, other than the name of the edit I like to also consider it an unofficial directors cut.
