Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
Directed by Joe Berlinger
In documentarian Joe Berlinger’s (PARADISE LOST) only foray into fiction filmmaking, a group of BLAIR WITCH PROJECT superfans visit the woods where it was shot. But after Stephen, his wife and their freaky friends spend a night camping, their surveillance tapes go missing. When they find them and watch them, that’s where the real terror begins. Ghostly visions, satanic orgies, and horrific hallucinations that may be real all play a part. Recut by the studio against Berlinger’s wishes, BWP2 received an undeserved critical lashing, and remains ripe for reconsideration.

Just as bad as you’d expect
We went into this knowing it was a product of the early 2000s, and that it wasn't at all like the first one; we enjoy campy/shitty horror just as much as the next person, but putting the Blair Witch name on this is just straight-up false advertising. Horrible acting, so bad it was comedic. A confusing plot line that jumped around and boring scenes that felt like they dragged on for way too long. There weren't even any good scares or creepy scenes; it was definitely more of a psychological thriller if anything. Don't watch this expecting any sort of vibe like the first one, you will be disappointed. However, if you're looking to laugh at a 90-minute sad rock music video from the early 2000s, this is the movie for you.
it wasn't great
This was....something? I guess???? What the Hell....
While this sequel may not have been as well written as the original, it's honestly a lot more entertaining. Maybe that's because, ya know, stuff actually happens?
