Aug 30, 2019The Layer of Fear devs deliver some effective horror with a side of smart ideas, though it's not without its faults.
-
Sep 4, 2019It's a bad sign when an indie movie made 20 years ago with a $60,000 budget remains endlessly more immersive than a video game made in 2019.
-
Sep 2, 2019The stakes are high in Blair Witch, as these woods aren’t known to take prisoners. But with two characters at the heart of this game, I only really care about one of them coming home alive.
-
Sep 2, 2019Blair Witch is lumbering and predictable, as horror often is, and the rattling moments come mostly from jumpscares. The rest is a tepid sort of horror.
-
Sep 1, 2019I gotta say, it turned out rather well. Not quite the creepfest I was hoping for, it's nonetheless inventive and atmospheric, and feels like it fits within the Blair Witch world without treading overly familiar ground.
-
Sep 6, 2019Blair Witch’s story isn’t bad, but it was barely compelling enough to pull me through once, let alone twice.
