Review of Blair Witch (2016) by Spot21 — 15 Sep 2016

This was truly a terrible movie. Look, you can do shaky cam and jump scares all day as long as there is buildup and context. Just simply having abrupt edits and really loud noises means nothing, and quite honestly was extremely irritating as a viewer. I just want to know who's idea it was to have 40+ minutes of the movie just being characters screaming each-others name in poorly lit forests and rooms. They should be fired.

I enjoy and respect the original movie so this was disappointing to say the least. I can appreciate the work the cast and crew put into this movie, but the foundation and direction this movie was built on was abrasively terrible. Aside from a few cool additions to the Blair Witch mythos, this was a horrendous movie that I regret not walking out on.
