Sequel to the much hyped first film The Blair Witch Project. After the events of the missing filmmakers in Burkitsville, Maryland, USA, a group of college students go back to the same woods to find out what really happened and whether it was all true or just a fake set-up. The first night together causes a lot of tension between the group as they argue about the events from the first film. But when they awake the next day they uncover a scene of destruction and mayhem, and yet none of them can remember what happened the night before. (Momentum Pictures)

The concept behind the ingenious first film is gone, and a group of anonymous teenagers head to the Maryland woods to experience the local atmosphere. Though this film is thematically interchangeable with any unsuccessful piece of horror nonsense, it earns valuable points precisely because it is not so much a straightforward sequel as a partial homage to the first film. I have such a deep-rooted memory of that one that when the characters started talking about being in the exact places they know from the movie, it worked for me. However, it would require some kind of climax at the end, and not just some timid wink and attempt to impress. After all, it did a good job of incorporation the mythology of the Blair Witch.

This is one of those horrors that you shouldn't bother seeing because their only intention is to capitalize on people who liked the first film or perhaps believed in it. However, this is definitely not the way to build a myth. It's as if they didn't really bother with the screenplay; they just piled up all the foolish ideas that came to mind, resulting in something that can't even be considered a coherent piece. This isn't myth-building; it's just empty commercialism.
