The never-ending maze of trees is a primary cause of the characters’ problems. The movie is less about a witch hiding in the shadows, and more about how the three characters deal with being lost in the woods. The tension among the three leads is almost as high as the tension built surrounding the possibility of the Blair Witch’s presence. As Heather is the one behind the camera for the majority of the movie, the audience naturally feel more of a connection to her, which makes Mike and Josh’s behavior more unusual as they appear to team up against her, particularly in the movie’s second half. In the woods, Mike shows alarming signs of an unhinged personality, and he ranges from fearless to cowardly. Mike and Heather appear to introduce themselves to each other at the beginning, so Heather is instinctively more cautious around him. He fails to provide a convincing reason why he did it and both Heather and Josh rightfully react furiously to this.
Mike, especially, is hugely unlikeable and makes a bad situation worse by claiming that he kicked their only map into the creek.
Josh and Mike exhibit very unusual behaviors, which do not always match the situation they are in. It is her passion project, and when things start to go wrong, she is the only one whose behavior remains consistent.
Heather is at the forefront of the documentary.
