Blair Witch

A direct sequel to the cult movie from years ago, which revolutionised the horror genre, Blair Witch has a fantastic horror moment as well.

Namely when you see at the clock and realise you just waisted an hour and a half...

Where the original film was great due to it's found footage concept and the fact you didn`t know what to expect, this one, well, definitly is not. 

When james, the younger brother of Heather from the first movie, finds online material that might help him find closure in what might have happened to his missing sibling, he and his friends, together with a couple that claims to have found the footage, go out and search.

Quickly it`s revealed the tape was a fake for some ghosthunters, but then things start to get weird.  Not in the creepy spooky way of the first, no, now we get time distortion, perpetual night and a house that is there but isn`t.  Don`t ask.  Google it or so, because it ain`t even worth the watch...

This was truly a bad movie.  No real jump scares like the first, and it is all repetition in essence.  Apart from more frantic running around by flashlight, the "new thing" is that the Blair Witch is apparently some sort of left behind alien or such.  And to be honest, it kinda sucks to see it... ruins a bit the mythos.

No, this wasn`t a great film at all, nor a even a moderatly good one...
