Make no mistake, though Blair Witch is very much a sequel in every sense of the word, and at the end of the day it’s the movie we’ve all been hoping for. Given the fact that the second one was so far out of the box in comparison to the original, I’m guessing the decision was made to play the events close to the chest, if only to salvage the fanbase and introduce Elly Kedward to a brand new audience. Well, one thing’s for sure… director Adam Wingard and his longtime collaborator, writer Simon Barrett, certainly do and they’ve done so with hardly any missteps.īlair Witch only really makes one mistake… it never strays too far from the groundwork laid by the original movie and at times feels like more of a remake that takes advantage of today’s technology than it does a sequel. It seemed as if no one understood how to make a follow-up to the phenom that was the original film. As a result it remains one of the more reviled sequels of all time. It goes off the rails and never delivers the goods that the original film and even the various stellar TV tie-ins such as “Curse of the Blair Witch” and “The Burkittsville 7” did. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was literally the sequel that nobody wanted. In the year 2000 when Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was released, the Blair Witch fanbase cried foul.
