Blair witch 2 movie#
This next paragraph will deal with the ending of the film, so if you want to watch this movie for yourself for some reason, you might want to skip to my rating.
At least the film made me laugh (even though it was mostly unintentional) throughout. I didn’t need a gimmick to get me interested, but they chose to add one anyway and it ended up backfiring when you start to see the ridiculous, borderline ‘David Lynch-esque’ cast of characters. Like I mentioned before, I appreciate where the story was going when the movie started. Of course it isn’t (duh), but the film would have been better had they not tried that shit all together. You want audiences to look back and think “Holy shit, that movie was scary”, not “Holy shit, I can’t believe I was scared of that”.īook of Shadows also tried to match its predecessor by saying “Hey, this story is real too!”. That’s the exact opposite reaction you want in a horror movie. The only thing that really scared me was the appearance of the little girl that looked like she was ripped straight from ‘The Grudge’, but looking back not only did this appearance come out of nowhere with no build up, but it was also pretty fucking stupid. Instead of having a coherent storyline that allowed for fear to build throughout the film, what we got was a scattered mess with ‘jump scares’ that made absolutely no sense within the context of the film. I’m aware that feelings are subjective so some people may find this film terrifying, but to me it completely missed the mark. But hell, even if you don’t compare Book of Shadows to its predecessor it is still a bad movie.įirst of all, the film is not scary. Book of Shadows on the other hand just screams early 2000’s, which might have been cool at the time but now plays out like one long punchline. This is something that i think is important for a film because films live forever even though time still progresses. When watching the first Blair Witch, despite the timecards and camera designs the movie feels timeless. To start off I want to talk about the time period in the films. Why they even decided to call it “Blair Witch 2” is beyond me, because not only is this film stylistically different, but also tonally so. Now that what I like about the film is out of the way, let’s talk about why it was terrible.īook of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is about as different as you could get from the first Blair Witch film. In the case of Blair Witch 2, this allows us to see the partial impact that the first film had on the world, and especially those living in Burkittsville (the setting of the first film). Instead of the movie just following a couple of more people going into the woods with handheld cameras, Book of Shadows builds its story much like Human Centipede 2, wherein the main characters have seen, and are obsessed with, the first film in the franchise. What I like, nay respect, about Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is the fact that it takes a different approach to a sequel. But before I start ripping into it, let me talk about what I like about it. Like the stories had warned me, this movie was terrible. This “sequel” to The Blair Witch Project follows six characters who, being fans of the original film, decide to travel into the woods where the three filmmakers supposedly went missing and see what they can find themselves.
“… the perfect movie to watch after The Blair Witch Project so you’re not too scared to go to sleep.”ĭespite tales that it was a terrible film, last night I watched Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.
