Back in 2019, Bloober Team and Lionsgate released Blair Witch, a video game based on the popular found footage franchise from the 1990s. Why the decision to make a Blair Witch Project game, and what other properties did Bloober Team have at their disposal? In a new chat with IGN, the team reveals that another mega popular franchise was also on the table.
As it turns out, it was a battle between Blair Witch and Saw at one point in time…
Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno explains to IGN, “Lionsgate came to us and said, ‘Guys, we love Layers of Fear. We saw what you are doing with Observer, so we would like to work with you. We know that you would like to do your own games, so please, this is our list of our horror IPs; choose one.’”
“We could [have chosen] Saw, which is more popular than Blair Witch, but we decided to take Blair Witch because the universe has many opportunities to build something new,” Babieno goes on to explain. “That was the reason why we chose this project.”
Reading the chat transcript, it sounds like the offer on the table for Saw was a bit more strict, with studio mandates and timelines in place, which is why the team ultimately passed.
As you may recall, the Saw franchise has spawned two video games in the past. Published by Konami, Saw was released on October 6, 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Saw II: Flesh and Blood was released on October 19, 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

There was a time when conspiracy theories were entertaining. No, seriously, I swear it’s true! In fact, tons of films took inspiration from them, including Prometheus, Transformers 3, and even the very first Captain America, just to name a few.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Christopher MacBride‘s paranoid thriller The Conspiracy, a found-footage indie gem in the vein of Eyes Wide Shut, only leaning more into the horror genre.
The film was inspired by actual conspiracy theories, notably those surrounding the Bohemian Club and the Bilderberg Group, both secretive organizations closed to the public and made up of a who’s who of power players in international politics and business.
In the film, “When two young filmmakers (Aaron Poole & Jim Gilbert) select a crazed conspiracy theorist as the subject of their new movie, they have no idea the terrifying peril they will put themselves in. When the man disappears without a trace, the filmmakers begin an obsessive quest to uncover the truth that will lead them to an ancient and dangerous secret society. A meticulously researched thriller based on real conspiracy theories, The Conspiracy blurs the line between fact and fiction, news and propaganda.”
I’m a huge fan of The Conspiracy, an indie shocker that feels all too real. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2012 and was released soon after.
Now, it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary on SCREAMBOX.
It’s more potent and relevant than ever before. Here’s the trailer…
