Replacement Programme:
The first pressing mistakenly has the theatrical cut with mono rather than stereo audio. To receive a corrected disc, send an email to blair@secondsightfilms.co.uk with "Blair Witch replacement disc" as the subject and include your order number (if ordered directly from Second Sight), or a proof of purchase if purchased elsewhere, together with your address. -
