I watched this movie hoping it would be a sequel to the original movie, but found out that it was just Blair Witch ->2<-. No further investigation into the witch, just a couple of new teenagers...
I think the movie was lousy, to say it all in one word. There is no tension building up through the movie, it's more like unexpected short cuts that make you jump a little, and that's a very cheap way to scare people. Like in most other horror movies, a lot of things happens without explanation. But if there never is an explanation it's not frightening, it's just frustrating. A horror movie should build up tension and in the end you get to know. Like in "The Ring", and watching BW2 was like waiting for the girl to come out of the TV, but she never did. The whole movie through, it feels like something is missing. Part from the tension, it's a story. I also got the feeling that the creators thought that nudity and sex would be just as good as a story. Several times the nudity feels very unnecessary with the actors walking around naked for, as it seems, no particular reason. Probably just a way to make the movie interesting in some way ;).
The plot didn't make much sense to me and the end didn't make any sense at all. I can see that it's all the work of the Blair Witch but you never really get to know that in a good way, and I guess that's supposed to be the scary part but judging from the many low grades given to the movie, many people think like me - it isn't! You maybe don't want all the facts handed to you but there can't be too much left to you own imagination either.
