Reply to comment by theagitatedapricot in Over 2 months ago, I put a video together about the appearance of Heather Donohue's voice from Blair Witch Project (who changed her name to Rei Hance in 2021) and how she was not credited or paid for her voice appearing in Academy Award Nominee, Tár. by HalpTheFan

I really think BWP is as superb a drama as it is a fun horror, about Heather realizing she's gotten herself and her friends killed by something they can't possibly understand, and her performance is such a huge part of that.

The method camping-in-a-forest stuff can only get so much credit, the whole movie lives or dies on her central performance.

Yes, thank you. It is specifically her performance that still gives me shivers with every rewatch. The banging on the tent, the children's laughter, the pouch of teeth, etc. are all creepy moments for sure, but it is Heather's reactions, her descent into a breakdown, that makes it all truly scary.
