Being overly mysterious when it's not a secret anymore as to what happened or where it's going wouldn't really work. Some have criticized that aspect for being unoriginal, and it does make sense as to why, but in a lot of ways, it feels like it makes sense. While it generally follows the same pattern as the original, it's a lot less subtle. The plot progression here also feels like an updated version of the 1999 film. The group lost in the woods in Blair Witch is using phones and high-tech sports cameras and drones to film their work, which feels incredibly accurate to 2016. And the way it pays homage to and honors the original is generally well done. The film does the same things as the original, but it's updated so it still feels current. This is one aspect of the film that's actually kind of cool. Instead of just a simple and dated camcorder though, this group has up-to-date technology. Just like the original film, Blair Witch is a found-footage horror film. Most will be able to guess, that the search for Heather is far from smooth sailing. With him, he brings some friends who want to make a documentary of his journey as well as the Burkittsville locals who posted the video he saw.
He sees a video with an image of what appears to be her and decides to go to the same woods she disappeared in and search for her. Obviously, she has been missing since she went looking for the Blair Witch in 1994. The premise of the film revolves around James, who is the sister of Heather from The Blair Witch Project. For some reason, many call this film a remake, but it's very clearly a sequel set in the same universe as The Blair Witch Project. Despite what many of the reviews say, Blair Witch is actually a pretty solid take on the franchise's original idea.īefore Halloween and Candyman retconned their franchises with direct sequels to the first film set many years later, Blair Witch did it. When a film is divisive like this one is, with some calling it the worst of the year and others saying it's one of the best, it's begging for a second look. Some people, though the minority, actually really liked it.
However, there is a smaller, more quiet, crowd singing the praises of Blair Witch. Currently, it only holds a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It was criticized for bad writing, and for rehashing the original film but doing it in a worse way. RELATED: What Was The Monster In Trick 'r Treat?īlair Witch was, much like Book of Shadows, generally not well received at all.

After the failure of Book of Shadows, it took 16 years for the franchise to be touched in movie form again, and was done so in Adam Wingard's 2016 film Blair Witch. The intentions feel very muddy, and it just comes off as rushed and inauthentic. It's maybe not quite as horrendous as people make it seem, it is entertaining, but by no means is it a good movie. The Blair Witch Project's first sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 deserves most of the hate it gets. It spawned two of them and, likely not to anyone's surprise, both were destroyed by critics and audiences. Because of its intense success, of course, there had to be sequels. It was a unique film, credited with both popularizing the found footage genre as well as being one of the first movies to go viral. The 1999 horror film The Blair Witch Project is an extremely well-known film, not just in the world of horror but of cinema in general.
