This thoroughly second-rate follow-up to the groundbreaking (and highly profitable) horror flick The Blair Witch Project--produced by Blair Witch directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez--plays with the notions of reality and fantasy that surrounded the hype of the original movie, and attempts to throw in some scares along the way. A year after the release of the original film, a group of five Blair Witch aficionados--four out-of-towners led by one seriously unhinged "tour guide"--venture into the woods outside Burkittsville, Maryland, on a tour of the sites made famous by missing documentarians Heather, Mike, and Josh. After a drunken night of camping out in hopes of communing with the spirit of the Blair Witch, the five wake up to find that their seemingly innocent sleep may have been disturbed somehow. But what exactly happened? If you're expecting suspense of the first degree and a horrifying payoff similar to the one that climaxed the first film, you'll be sorely disappointed. After retreating to an old, run-down broom factory (get it? Broom factory? Blair Witch? Oh well...), the five go over their videotapes of the night in question to get some answers, and basically wind up screaming at each other for the remainder of the film, and shedding some blood along the way. Documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger (of the highly acclaimed Paradise Lost and Brother's Keeper) proves that he should definitely stick to nonfiction filmmaking, and the entire cast is grating and unpleasant, aside from a scene-stealing turn by Kim Director as a goth chick with attitude to burn and a no-nonsense approach to this Blair Witch stuff. Strictly for hard-core Blair Witch fans only, and even then this sequel may prove to disappoint. --Mark Englehart

a worthy sequel.

I never understood why everyone hated this. I saw it when it came out and I was in 8th grade at the time. Everyone at the theater left saying "what the hell was that?" and "that sucked!" I walked out awestruck and thoroughly impressed. Just because it's a departure from the original doesnt mean its bad AT ALL. Honestly, incredibly underrated. Don't listen to what ANYONE SAYS! Judge for yourself!

Better Than the Original Blair Witch Project

I picked Book of Shadows: Blair Witch Project 2 movie up at the rental store, expecting absolutely nothing except a bad flick that might have a few good moments. I cannot believe how well-done this movie is, how it exceeded my expectations in every way. The acting is especially solid, by characters that you really care about.

The original Blair Witch Project was spoiled by all the hype as "the scariest movie of all time," and I frequently thought how disappointed I was with it. This movie makes it all better.

The story starts out fairly innocuous, with folks who loved the original movie pouring into the town where the students vanished. An enterprising, young local man is making money selling all kinds of Blair Witch souvenirs on E-Bay. He takes a group of four on his first guided tour of the site, a camping trip in the woods. A practicing Wiccan, a Goth girl, and a couple conducting serious research. As the movie unfolds, it becomes more intricate and you are soon enmeshed in a terrifying situation. Thank you to the producers and director for finally delivering some solid horror from this franchise.

The soundtrack is excellent, featuring Marilyn Manson and System of a Down.
