Alright so it’s finally here, the true sequel to blair witch…. not that piece of crap book of shadows thing, that was just horrible compared to what it was trying to accomplish. but anyway, how was the true follow up to the classic blair witch project?? it was pretty good for the most part! i truly only have a few complaints.

plot: for blair witch project fans this will make you feel right at home, there is a ton to appreciate when it comes to how things in this movie relate to the original. the mysterious antagonist, “the blair witch” returns obviously but this time she is harassing the crew in much more intense manner. I dont want to spoil as much as possible so I will leave it to you to go read the summery of the plot to find out more. but dont worry if you are a fan of the original plot I am almost certain you will enjoy this entry.

characters : ok so when it comes to the acting I would say it was fine. they were pretty good at conveying the emotions people would actually have if they were face to face with a spooky forrest. plus there was a good amount of comic relief which was delightfully surprising!

sp00k factor: so the scares is what you wanna know about huh? well, they are here… well.. sometimes in the generic ways… as in jump scares…. unfortunately… BUUUUUUTTTTTT there is some really well timed scares here! also some really awesome eerie moments thankfully, because that is the reason I think the original is so great. but also the film tries to use too much of the same tacticts to scare us.. but it was kind of nostalgic in a cool way, but not surprising in the least.

So after all this waiting I would say I am satisfied with this movie, it gives some more insight into this weird story of the blair witch. It was very cool in the the style of filming from different perspectives with certain choices in how the crew would film the adventure through the nightmarish woods, as in there were some unique ways the film was shot to go against how traditional found footage movies are filmed. but it is relatively the same.. but for someone who wants to revisit the mysterious black woods.. you are in luck!
