As such, various cottage industries have sprung up, including ones where local residents lead tourists on field trips to see the related sights and purported settings. Among them is Jeff (JEFFREY DONOVAN), a young man who was recently institutionalized in a mental hospital. Presumably cured, he's now leading a tour consisting of Stephen (STEPHEN TURNER) - who' s writing a book on the "Blair Witch" phenomenon - and his girlfriend, Tristen (TRISTEN SKYLAR), who isn't happy about her unwanted pregnancy.
Joining them is Kim (KIM DIRECTOR), a young woman enamored with the Goth look and lifestyle, and Erica (ERICA LEERHSEN) a practicing Wiccan who wants the original Blair Witch to be her mentor. After a night of drinking, pot smoking and an encounter with another tour group, Jeff's group awakens to find their campsite and equipment wrecked and realizes that they can't remember what happened during five hours the previous night.
Thus, they head back to Jeff's place inside a deserted factory where they watch their videotapes that rolled throughout the night. As they do - and as we see various flash-forwards to them being interrogated by
Sheriff Cravens (LANNY FLAHERTY) for the murders of the members of that other tour group -- Jeff and his group try to figure out what really happened.
Those scenes and the overall supernatural aura might prove to be unsettling, suspenseful or scary to the youngest of viewers or those with low tolerance levels for such material (although older teens/fans of the horror genre probably won't). Some sexually related comments are made, while we see various brief instances (some of them fuzzy, at night and from a distance) of nudity (bare breasts and butts), making out and early stages of foreplay, and what looks like possible sex. We also learn that a girlfriend is pregnant, but she has a miscarriage (and didn't want to keep the baby anyway).
Various characters drink, others smoke pot (on several occasions) and one smokes cigarettes. Finally, one of the women in the film is into the Goth look and lifestyle, while the other is a practicing witch. If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for anyone in your home who wants to see it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs in it.
