The Blair Witch Project to Skyman: How Director Daniel Myrick Came Full Circle With His New Sci-Fi

New DVD release, , , , , ,
“Blair Witch, which I consider incredibly fortunate to have been a part of, does come with its own set of baggage,” says Daniel Myrick, one half of the duo who made the found footage phenomenon which scared the hell out of audiences when it was released in cinemas in 1999 and went on to change the face of horror as we know it. We’re chatting (via Zoom) in the context of Myrick’s new movie, Skyman, a documentary style sci-fi which feels like it could be real, featuring elements of found footage and starring relative unknowns Michael Selle and Nicolette Sweeney,…

The Real UFO Influences Behind Skyman

It’s called Skyman and it’s available on VOD and playing in drive-in theaters now. “I’ve always been fascinated with the subject matter,” Myrick tells Den of Geek. “When I was growing up in the late seventies and early eighties, everything from UFOs to Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Bermuda Triangle, and the zeitgeists in those days, and sort of inspired me as a preteen to kind of start…

Max SchindlerMovie reviews
It was a cool October evening in the middle of the Mojave desert back in 1987 when a young Carl Merryweather had an experience that forever changed his life. After having just received his brand new pellet gun, Carl was on the prowl for wily jackrabbits that inhabited the endless miles of sand and scrub that surround the recently completed family retreat, more accurately described as a “glorified bug-out shelter”, by his father. But instead of finding his prey hunkered under a piece of parched earth or hiding in a Creosol bush, Carl discovered a far more elusive “life form”…

Skyman Trailer Previews UFO Film from Blair Witch Project’s Daniel Myrick

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Skyman, a new film from The Blair Witch Project’s Daniel Myrick, is set to make its Earthly arrival, set to bring about more fictional-found-footage drama, as evidenced by the release of a new trailer on the occasion of the film’s acquisition by distributor Gravitas Ventures, which has release plans that are intrinsically of the COVID-19 era. Myrick, who wrote and directed the picture, has returned to his original wheelhouse with sci-fi offering Skyman, which essentially gives the arena of UFOs and close encounters the… well, Blair Witch-type disguised fourth wall treatment, manifesting as a pseudo-documentary. The trailer film debuted at…
