That the guy was standing in the corner was of great significance, though!

I liked the whole effect of the movie. The premise behind making it beleivable. I was in one of the first waves to see it- and there was still all that buzz about it being true and such- what a great psychological effect- they drew on an absence to make the movie that much stronger.
The second one sucked!

I think the second sucked because it was a non fiiction movie coming after a movie that was supposed to be a documentry but was a hoax.It didn't look like a sequel to me.

No, it was more of a spin-off. However, what THAT posed of was a dramatisation of a 'real' (also fictional) event about Blair Witch mania. They did a documentary exploring the 'real' events that Book of Shadows was based on- like the first film, this documentary was all part of the story as well.

Well, it was a different story really, because it was based on the idea of the original being a story, rather than real.

even so, thew movie was bad enough to where it should not hav ebeen made. they shoulda just left it at the first one instead of ruining the once credible 'blair witch' name by making a half assed sequal just like every other horror movie. when will people learn, sequals just dont work

It was full-assed. It just did not work. It was still hell of a lot more original, sequel-wise, than most horror sequels.

It was not just another haunted house type movie! It was a critique of the phenomenon of movie hysteria and much of it was ENTIRELY original as was the presenation that came with it. But it just was not a very good story which killed all the cleverness of it off.

i think you may be looking to deeply into it. maybe it did have a commentary of some sort, most horror movies do. that is nothing new. however, the presentation was nothing short of simple and recycles many of the same elements of past horror movies such as the shining and the cube, dealing with paranoia and the frailty of the human psyche. it was a generic haunted house movie that added nothing new or different to the horror genre. it was just an iffy horror movie put out quickly to capitolize on the popularity of the first movie. it stands as one of the worst and one of the most boring movies ever.

blair witch is one of those movies that shouldnt have had any sequals. part of its main draw was the uniqueness of its presentation, which was very intriguing to everyone and which is why many peopel saw it. with the sequal, no matter what, people wouldnt have been as interested because the shock value of the presentation would have worn off. so the moral of the story, sequels bad.
