looking for thinkers to discuss new conceptual film

It's obviously an Indie rip-off of the Blair Witch Project... on acid.

I finished Pattern Recognition and wow, thanks for the suggestion. This is an author I can see myself reading more. I am a big fan of this genre...would it be considered cyberpunk?

You're welcome.  Gibson is one of my favorite contemporary authors; I'm happy to turn other people on to his work.  He was one of the founding members of the cyberpunk movement within SF, in fact his novel Neuromancer is considered "a seminal work in the cyberpunk genre."  However, I wouldn't call Pattern Recognition a cyberpunk novel. It barely even qualifies as science fiction.

I see some of the resemblance with the book you speak of.
Which strikes you the strongest?

I'm thinking specifically of "the footage."

Though there may be some similarities between the two, I really don't see "In the Woods" as a rip-off of "The Blair Witch Project."  For one thing, "Blair Witch" is clearly and unequivocally a horror film, and I don't think that "In the Woods" belongs in that category.  It seems more like an elliptical attempt to get people to think.  About what, I really couldn't say.
