Review of Blair Witch (2016) by Kadeemluvmusic — 18 Sep 2016

Geez, Hollywood loves to make franchises. I knew Blair Witch couldn't make a cent out of the original classic. When I saw the new trailer for an obscure title named "The Woods," I was totally freaked out and I thought this was the best horror movie ever, but I was let down by the news that it's going to be renamed as "Blair Witch.

" And I was like: "What? WTF! Really, Lionsgate?" I thought this franchise was dead and buried after that s**tty "Book Of Shadows" sequel that is so awful, I could barely watch it on the Sci-Fi Channel.

And thank goodnees, they didn't even mentioned a third Blair Witch and it was dead on arrival. And now we're here, 16 years later. Let's face it, the new Blair Witch is a 'Meh' for me. It didn't even have enough scares to make this sort-of reboot very unneccessary.

I saw the film last Thursday and I saw a little teenie-weenie amount of people see the movie. Like I saw, it was not good. The ending was alright, but I felt it didn't need to be trimmed apart and I do give credit to the director of the film who been able to give a long dormant franchise and giving it a shot at either make a delightful successor to the one that pedigreed the "Found Footage" genre or turned it into a reboot.

Unfortunately, nah. I'm sticking with the 3 horror movies that is able to be a success of their own: "The Conjuring 2," Light's Out," and "Don't Breathe." Blair Witch is exactly a doomed franchise.

No scares equals a sober reminder of how stupid a beloved original nolstalgia turned into a crummy remake can be.
