![]() ![]() Some theories as to the true nature of the Blair Witch include that everything supernatural that happens to the trio can be rather logically explained.Matpat from Film Theory proposed that the movie is really a (fictional) snuff film of Josh and Mike luring Heather into the woods to murder her. ![]() Eventually, Heather realizes she might not make it out of the woods alive, so she may be filming to provide evidence of what happened to her, Mike, and Josh.Toward the end of the film, Josh suggests that the reason Heather is "still making her movie" is because it allows her to disassociate from the reality of the situation the danger and hopelessness are less real if she is only watching them through a camera lens as a movie, not something which she is a part of. Mike even has to stop her from recording Josh's breakdown, and throughout the film a major source of conflict among the group is the fact that Heather just won't turn the camera off. Her motivation for obsessively documenting everything becomes less and less clear, and throughout the film she gets a lot of footage she couldn't reasonably expect to use even if they did manage to get out of the woods, such as her and Josh violently berating and briefly physically attacking Mike for destroying the map, and multiple instances of herself sobbing, during which she makes sure the camera is pointed at her. Heather seems to be filming almost constantly for the whole time they are in the woods, long after almost anyone would have stopped. ![]()
