Review of Blair Witch (2016) by Inaneswine — 14 Nov 2017
The original 1999 film was a masterclass in fear, suspense, improvisational acting and the power of subtlety. This belated cash grab, on the other hand, is a 90-minute showreel of every terrible found-footage cliché that has ever been used since the dawn of the millenium.
It manages to extinguish every single one of its creepy moments - which are few and far-between - with deafening sound effects, weak acting and an everlasting number of pathetic jump-scares that are about as creative as a child running up behind you shouting "boo".
Sitting through its running time was a thoroughly annoying experience, though its unintentionally hilarious ending had me in stitches.
