Blair Witch (2016) is a found-footage supernatural horror sequel in which a young man assembles friends to search the black Hills Forest for his missing sister, whose disappearance ties to the Blair Witch legend, only for the group to face escalating curses, hallucinations, and attacks. The narrative delivers classic woods terror with stick figures, time loops, and entity encounters but contains no identity-driven arcs, political dialogue, or social-justice framing. No representation emphasis, activist messaging, or legacy reinterpretations appear in the story, marketing, or reported reception.
