Blair Witch Project producer says we've been watching the wrong version of the iconic horror film for years

The Blair Witch Project still (1999).

The Blair Witch Project producer Mike Monello says we've been watching the wrong version of the hit horror movie for the last 25 years.

"In 1999, theatrical films didn't originate on video, so there was no codified process for putting them out on video. So they did it like all films back then: They transferred the 35mm negative to video," Monello explained via Twitter. "Unfortunately, the 35mm negative is NOT the actual camera negative. As a result, the version released for all forms of home video is incorrect. The colors, the motion, the strange rounded corners, it didn't look like a home video, and it didn't look like film."
