Review of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) by Julian T — 12 Dec 2011

I was quite excited for this follow up. The original film is a true trend setter and a revolutionary piece of film making, no matter what anyone says. After seeing this for the first time, I was completely disapointed.

This sequel takes a page out of the 'Scream' series, as it folows fans of the original film, rather than continuing the original movies mythos. After watching it again however, I came to appriciate what this movie brings to the table.

Its not a continuation of the original, but more of a companion. It starts out painfully slow, but once it gets rolling, it has some good scares and does a good job of keeping its viewers on their toes.

Still not a worthy follow up, but gives enough to be an interesting horror movie.
