Mortal Remains is a 2013 American mockumentary horror/thriller film directed by Christian Stavrakis and Mark Ricche.
The film purports to be a documentary investigation into the grisly legends surrounding fictional Maryland filmmaker Karl Atticus.
When their high school classmate Eduardo Sánchez directs a movie called The Blair Witch Project, Mark and Chris reunite with him by way of a parody film.
Interviews with friends and relatives of the filmmaker tell a grim story, and Mark and Chris abandon their Blair Witch documentary in favor of tracking down the origins of the Atticus legend.
The source material of his films, it is revealed, is the works of a shadowy 1920s horror writer named Vernon Blake, whose obscure books of gory fiction were rife with occult symbology and cryptic ciphers.
