    One of the absolute worst films I've ever seen. The saddest part is that I was among those poor, poor fools who actually paid to see this tripe in the theater.

    Better than the first one.

    The Blair Witch gets the Scream treatment in this reasonable sequel that's much better than the original (although that's mainly because I thought the original was garbage...) But as usual, the initially intriguing plot soon gives way to running around screaming and buckets of fa...( read more)ke blood.

    Second rate monster of a film rubbish. This thoroughly second-rate follow-up to the groundbreaking (and highly profitable) horror flick The Blair Witch Project.

    This movie was damn freaky! It scared the heck out of me. This sequel treats the first Blair Witch movie as simply a movie. A tour company in the "real" world offers excursions to Burketsville and the Woods where the first Blair Witch movie was filmed. One group goes in there and...( read more) set up camp for the night. They shoot lots of souvenir video. They all black out. When they wake up the next morning, all their gear is vandalized. For some reason, they return to the tour warehouse and stay there; I couldn't figure out why they didn't go home or simply go to a hotel. They soon learn that the folks at a nearby campsite were savagely murdered on that night they blacked out. They examine their souvenir video frame by frame and are horrified to see what actually happened during the blackout period. Strange things start happening at the tour warehouse. Each person has terrifying visions of things. One of the girls disappears. They suspect the Blair Witch is tormenting them, and possibly inside one of them. It's a great mind-twist of a movie. All sorts of freaky things happen to the kids, leading them to believe there might really be a Blair Witch. It's a brilliant movie which is quite unsettling. The DVD goes further by hiding a hidden message in the movie itself; check out "The Secret of Esrever" on how to decode.

    i remember when the first blair witch came out there was a huge hype and i didnt watch it untilll five years later and was amazingly dissapointed. it was an absolutly horrible film and have no idea why it got such a huge buzz in its time. The second blair witch is not shot at all...( read more) in the same way and is very much different wich is a good thing. The book of shadows definatly overshadows the first one in everyway. it has real actors(good and bad) and a not bad plot. I'd almost recommend it to people if the first wasnt so terrible.

    well it's better than the first one at least...

    Here it is, the much hated sequel to The Blair Witch but kinda like a lot of other films that are hated by the majority, I kinda enjoyed it. Is it perfect? No. Should you expect it to be? Eff no. Berlinger, the director behind the awesome Paradise Lost and it's sequel, was in a l...( read more)ose-lose situation and somehow squeezed out a win.

    I thought it was a great way to kill time from 12am-2am. It was pretty terrible, but it didn't really have much to go off of, being a sequel to The Blair Witch Project and all.

    This movie is thee scariest BLAIR WITCH movie ever.It's so cool cause in the end they were arested for acussed murder(obviously)BUT THEY like tell their part of the story.....but when the police showed them the tapes (the three of them cause the other two wre dead,one a suicide, i think so.)the videos showed them what happened but wasn't true......like kim she didn't slash peggys(store manager) throat ........or did she..Thats what i like about these movie you can never tell if they really did all that the video's shows or a strange somebody(Blair Witch) messed with them.So what if they did all that stuff but they just don't thought they did anything i mean why not cause before they liked blacked out that night and the witch possessed tristen and made her do all that weird stuff like dancing funny (i really don't think she's drunk or high)just here what i have to say... cause they could of blocked out without knowing they did and easily thought they did something else. oh my time is en
