Review of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) by Jonas S — 07 Mar 2015

I will never understand the negativity and poor reviews regarding Book of Shadows. This remains in my top 10 horror movies after years(although, JUST in the top 10). The Critics Consensus above is awful in my opinion with the only, albeit, stinging flaw that they connected this movie to the Blair Witch at all. They didn't need to but, I suspect that there were behind the scenes factors that forced this script to take that name.

I'm not going to go on and on about the movie, but I could.

The strongest element that has lingered with me and what sets this movie apart is how easily and well the characters are tricked into their situations.

Yes there are elements from other horror and possession-based films, much like every horror and possession-based film. But it works.

The characters and their development were nicely fleshed out and they felt a lot closer to real people to me than many other films.

I enjoyed the suspense and the twists immensely and this movie will continue to rate high in my book. Oh, and btw, - that "Movie Info" - that canNOT be right, can it? That's like the worst synopsis ever.
