Despite being about an hour of footage that was cut from the film "The Blair Witch Project," Curse is every bit an authentic-looking documentary. A behind-the-scenes look at the mythology of the Blair Witch, it consists of local news affiliates accounting the facts of the students' disappearance in 1995. Local personalities like the town historian of Burketsville, film professor Michael DeCoto of the Montgomery College, professor of folklore Charles Moorehouse from Hampshire College, anthropology professor David Mercer from the University of Maryland, Burketsville Sheriff Ron Cravens who was on the missing persons case, Private Investigator Buck Buchanan, and the brother of one of the students are all interviewed. Even a 1940s news reel of Rustin Parr in prison is included.
