The Objective (movie)
The Objective by Nick Schwab
Love it or hate it, The Blair Witch Project is a film that put the "mature" back into modern horror. For a few years in the late 1990's, teeny-bopper fright films like Scream and Urban Legend were the only fear product in theatres, and serious scare pictures seemed to be a dying breed. It was then that this little-independent-film-that-could hit theaters, became a smash hit, and traditional horror was reborn.
Since Blair Witch's success, the directors of that film (Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick) have still mostly kept in the independent realm of filmmaking. Myrick's new film, The Objective, is a war-set horror tale in the backdrop of Afghanistan. While the elements of Myrick's debut are here--a common albeit supernatural setting and minimalist story ambiguity-- this time around the concept is disappointingly much better than the actual film.
