The Blair Witch Rejects

剧情简介

In the very first feature length spoof of The Blair Witch Project, director Jerry Vasilatos used similar preparation with his actors as they improvised the story throughout the whole three-day shoot. Having worked previously in drama , Vasilatos chose to try something lighter his second time out. Casting a talented ensemble cast featuring Kevin Leadingham, Chanda Willis, Brent Beebe, Deborah Wolff and others, his approach was to satirize independent filmmakers trying to ride the coat-tails of the original film. There were several independent groups here in L.A. all jumping on the Blair Witch bandwagon shooting spoofs as quickly as they could to cash in on the original's success... to me, that's what was spoofable... filmmakers haphazardly rushing to ride the coat-tails of something else, unable to come up with their own original ideas, so that became our focus. The result was 10 actors given only snippets of their character motivations and plot points as the shoot progressed right up to the surprise ending, in a similar stlye to the original but this time played for laughs. Our story definitely has echoes of the real movie, with our characters trying to hunt down a local legend. But we also loved the original Blair Witch Project, so the idea of other people spoofing it with so many of the same jokes is what inspired us to poke fun at them instead. The Blair Witch Rejects is a hilarious 90 minute tongue-in-cheek comedy with a B-Movie quality that would make even Ed Wood proud...
