This was already a bad trip but they could have survived (with perhaps some friendships ended before the trail’s terminus) had Hutch not suggested they take the shortcut through the woods. Strange symbols, spooky houses, and violent effigies lurk in the woods as they try to escape while battling their own internal demons. When Dom stumbles into a hole and hurts his knee, Hutch leads the group on a shortcut through uncharted wilderness off the trail. Hutch and Luke are more experienced than Dom and Phil, neither of whom was properly prepared even before they hit the trail, with clothing and equipment unsuited to the wilderness. This hidden 2017 Netflix gem follows Luke, Hutch, Dom, and Phil as they embark on the Kings Trail, a famous Swedish hiking trail similar to the Appalachian Trail. The recklessness involved in throwing away one’s only navigation tool is also a problem on the trail, where hikers need to keep an even temper, especially when in a survival situation. Not every outdoor adventure may need a map, but a handheld GPS or a compass at minimum is a vital tool, especially for inexperienced hikers. He must have been possessed by the Blair Witch at the time, because your navigation tools are extremely important in the outdoors, especially in a survival situation such as the film students found themselves in. However, the worst blow comes when one of the trio admits to throwing away the map. The premise of the movie is that they are filming their progress as they go, inviting viewers on the hike with them as they find clues about the existence of the Blair Witch. It follows three aspiring documentarians as they set off into the woods in search of the Blair Witch, suffering some very frightening nights as they run afoul of the titular character. The original Blair Witch Project swept the country and kicked off the “found footage” genre.
