The Blair Witch Project finally gets the definitive treatment. Lionsgate Limited's Definitive Collector's Edition (also released by Second Sight in the UK) rebuilds the film from the original Hi8 tapes and 16mm elements — plus the Sundance festival cut, the original 35mm theatrical version, and a stacked extras package.
