Your re-enactment of the jump scares had me in tears 😂

They should just go all the way: In the end James becomes pissed off at the Witch's hocus-pocus trash, so he tears off his shirt revealing his sculpted body and yells "Common bitch, lets rumble in the jungle!". "Down with the Sickness" from the band "Disturbed" starts playing while the witch and James fight like people with years of martial arts experience. All this happens while Lisa reads Latin to dispel the witch. James side-thrust kicks the witch into a spike and exclaims "Game over, blair bitch!" He grabs Lisa and they start making out. The sun rises again, que credits.

About that one spoiler.... Time travel in the Blair Witch mythos isn't exactly new. In the Blair Witch special that aired on Sci-fi, they said they found the footage in the foundation of an old building, but it was placed in such a way that it had to have been placed there when the building was being built. Like it got taken back in time. And while I'v never played the Blair Witch PC games, I've read that they include time travel as well. The reason the bodies of the original three were never found was because they where sent into the past.

Serious question (not serious) Do the directors/writers now what a witch is? Cause the monster in this movie is more reminiscent of T-Rex or a boss from a silent hill game. Witches are old women who cackle and hunch over, not a 10 foot tall behemoth that can throw trees around like a silver back gorilla.

director actually said that in this movie you never really see the witch, and that creature is something "else". fans usually speculate that the creature is actually heather from pt.1 that went throught some unexplainable transformation. the witch in this film is probably represented only with abstract white light the protagonists see through the attic in the end. some even say that actually means that there is no witch at all, but that those woods are hounted with aliens instead. but everything is open to interpretation, and that is why this movie is fucking good, and showing the tall creature for 2 seconds didn't ruin the mistery at all. do your research, cunt.

Repeating it yet again would become redundant. Do a prequel or something set in oldie times showing the events of coffin rock or something.

You make many solid points here. At the end of the film I walked out of the theater feeling quite underwhelmed. My major gripe was I could not have cared less about any of the characters. They were so bland and generic. The original made me care what happened to the involved characters and the tension and psychological distortion only grew as the film progressed. Not terrible I suppose, just didn't live up to what I was hoping for.

Say that he started hearing voices like Rustin Parr and that he killed Heather and Mike at the end of the first film (which could be why Mike was standing in the corner at the end.) And they shouldn't have had any time travel stuff (the stuff with the tape traveling through time didn't even make sense. The guy who posted the youtube video only had that short clip, but when the tapes and cards were "found" they had the complete footage. How does that work?) There were elements that I liked, and I'm glad they incorporated the Blair Witch lore (Eileen Treacle, Coffin Rock, Rustin Parr) but yeah, overall it kind of disappoints.

If that awful monster isn't the witch that's even worse, as that means it's just a monster that they threw in to the movie for no reason. What made the first movie so effective was the ambiguity of what was happening, this new version is worse than The Book of Shadows as it introduces terrible cliches and a convoluted story instead of creating actual scares.

It's part of a Hollywood trend that's going on right now that I compare to the "rumors" about Spielberg actually directing Poltergeist. They bring someone with a modicum of indy cred like Garreth Edwards to a project like "Jurassic World" or Star Wars 50 and suddenly the fans are appeased that a "good director" is on the film so maybe it isn't reheated garbage. Then, sure enough, every time, that original director's voice is completely gone and the reboot is a studio produced scene-for-scene, completely safe hack job. Stop supporting these financially and they'll go away.

I agree with your review, but there is one thing I am confused on. Outside of two quick shots towards the end (witch chasing Lisa and some kind of stick monster behind Lisa at the end), where else did we see the actual witch? I remember James chasing a woman who he thought was suppose to be Heather.

I agree with you completely, I've loved the lore and had a fascination in the blair witch since i was ten and saw it. I had a slew of the young adult novals about the drowning ghosts and the murders. And I write I've been a writer since the 6th grade and I have so many ideas from the lore that could be drawn from the blair witch, there's so many angles you can go to with a lineage and lore like this and I felt like they wasted and amazing opportunity. That being said, Barret on Twitter said that the figure we see in the forest and chasing the girl in-fact WAS NOT the blair witch, but in fact a "victim" of the witch heavily implying maybe it's heather. Heather was originally supposed to make an appearance by the actress wanted nothing to do with the project....so idk. If the thing we saw wasn't the witch then maybe it could be argued we still arent sure if she's a presence or an actual being, or spirit.

Gee, a remake of a popular horror franchise with tons of hype behind it failing to meet expectations because it's a needless rehash hackjob by otherwise competent directors/writers? I've never seen this happen before.

I just watched this again and I enjoy the Drone footage and I enjoy the footage from the ear cameras how they matched where everyone was looking and accounted for

One thing that bothered me about this movie immediately from the trailer was how it seemed like there would be a lot of obvious supernatural stuff being thrown around the whole time, like that scene where the tent flies up in the air, and I feel that one of the primary things that made the first film so effective was that nothing shown couldn't be explained scientifically. It gave the film a sense of authenticity that's still rare in found footage movies. The second film managed this as well by not letting the characters capture anything obviously supernatural on video and accompanying it with the statement: "video never lies, but film does".

@GoodBadFlicks

There were supernatural elements in the original but they were very dialed down as to make them ambiguous. Was it a witch or something else? In this, there was no doubt whatsoever and they made that clear pretty much the entire film.

I love your reviews! Yes to everything you mentioned and also: Blair Witch Project worked so well because it looked real and felt real, Blair Witch felt incredibly superficial. Every character was a stereotype played by perfectly-coiffed-CW-looking actors. Every word out of their mouth felt scripted. Painful dialogue. So painful.

I always turn off when you go into your spoiler zone, but this seems like such a let down that I let the video run. So dissapointing. Blair Witch 3 should really have been a film like The Witch. I actually said on the IMDB boards that I thought it worked as a prequel to Blair Witch.

Seeing the trailer, i had a gut feeling it wouldn't be good. I saw it with some friends when it first came out and none of us were scared by it. Agreed, the jump scares were pretty laughable and, me personally, i never got invested. So just like Blair Witch 2, this is another movie they should have just left alone. They should have just done that one movie, and just let people guess what happened. Instead...well, at least they gave us a good laugh.

I like the fact that Ur atleast honest, it seems sme reviewers had free screenings & bragged its the scariest movie of the yr. Good review, even with the spoilers. They actually help fill in the review.

Totally agree with this review. Also, were they implying aliens in this film? The weird parasite in the woman's leg, the lights outside of the house and the long-limbed CGI thing in the woods?

GoodBadFlicks You seem to have a good taste in films. I like you. :3

I enjoyed the movie, although, the jump scares were pretty annoying, and the digital noise and "malfunctioning" of the ear cams was also frustrating. Im not sure what direction they could have gone with this film to make it as scary as the first with out it being a complete copy. I suppose if they left out the visual of the witch and maintained the 'is there really a witch, or are they just losing their minds' approach, it would have been more genuine and played with your mind more.

The first Blair Witch movie had it figured out - Less is more.

Did you know the youtuber Chris stuckmann shouted you out when he review the Blair witch book of Shadows

how do you get the directors cut of blair witch 2?

The time travel didn't really bother me. The first movie had the scene where they walked all day just to find themselves at the same river crossing. If there is no witch, they just got turned around and didn't realize it. If there is a witch, that could imply that she power over reality. The second movie, the characters kept seeing visions, usually moving backwards. Plus there's the whole aspect of truth only existing on film. So having the witch cause her victims experience time at different speeds, directions, etc. I didn't think it felt that out of place.

This review is pretty spot on. I'll say this, I loved the last 10 minutes of it. the witch was crazy looking. I still have faith in Adam Wingard, YN, TG were fantastic movies. keep up the great work! one last thing, what does facing the corner help them out with? and when they found their friends facing the wall.

really want to watch your blair witch 2 video. hope you get that copyright claim figured out

Have you heard of Adam Wingard going to direct the new Godzilla vs. Kong movie from Legendary?

The film isn't amazing or anything but I had fun watching it. I think they needed to do something similar to the original in the way Force Awakens did for Star Wars, to re-establish the universe before then hopefully expanding it in sequels. However I didn't enjoy Force Awakens due to it being such a beat for beat remake of New Hope so I can see why some may have the same feelings towards the new Blair Witch.

But I’d like to know what your ideas would’ve been to make it better or to not make it a complete rehashing this story has a specific setting and specific things that would need to be kept the same in the lore it’s easy to say it’s bad (which is true it’s not as great as the 1st but i don’t think it could be) but it’s a lot harder to say what could’ve been done better

I started very recently to follow your channel, but I like very much what i've seen so far. I was hoping 'Blair Witch' would be a different proposal like the director's cut of the sequel as you explained, but I can see they just rehashed the original to reboot an unnecesary franchise. I think nobody's told hollywood ambiguitiy was the reason the original was a hit. Since we know it's all fiction now, any sequel it's just another found footage film... Thanx for the spoilers, I can totally talk about the movie as if I'd seen it (well, I did, and I liked it better when it was called 'The Blair withc project') Keep the great videos coming. Very much appreciated...

I agree that it was dumb that the girl with an injured foot decided to climb a tree in the dark. However if you were in a very desperate situation and saw a possible glimmer of hope in the drone being able to find you a way out, maybe you would make that dangerous choice to climb up and try free it.

I actually read somewhere that was actually not the real witch. They were setting it up for an sequel but it tanked at the box office.

I enjoyed the first movie, and I enjoyed the new one just as much. My only complaint was the jump scares.

the first one was something that you had to be there in a movie theater, in 1999. If you are watching for the 1st time in 2016 in your cell phone, you probably will not like it. I love it, reminds me of a simpler time.

The tall skinny monster you see alot isn't the witch. The director stated that she is a privious victim. And it's logical to think that she is actually Heather having to have gone through the same torture as kelly edward.

you should do a vid on Dog Soldiers

I haven't visited your page in a while but I really liked this 2016 Blair Witch! The first one was great and like you was creeped out by watching that way back in 1999. I do agree those jump scares were bugging me. But I was really wanting to see the last act and it was worth seeing the first part of the movie to get through. You also got to remember that the first TBWP left a lot of stuff up as ambiguous. I came to two conclusions about the first movie. 1) The two guys lured and killed Heather to show their loyalty to a cult. 2) There is something supernatural going on because the house wasn't supposed to be their in the 1990's and the hikers hiked all day not getting out of the woods. So in reality new BW solidified that there is a witch (which the shown, but small glimpses) and time travel/portal does happen. I really hope they release an extended version on BD and the sound was effing nuts! Could have been better, yes, but Horror films like this I just have fun with!

It would have been better if they left it as just the one scene where they reunited and the other two people had that displaced time, with no explanation. It could have been a far scarier movie. But they did bare minimum effort, and frankly it showed.

With regards to the jump scares: One of the main characters has a line stating that the other characters need to stop popping into frame. It's almost like they were playing the jump scares straight and then in post recorded a new line to turn them into a joke.

I love both the original and this film. Is it perfect? No. Is it the most original? In many ways, no. But I enjoyed it for being similar, yet the opposite to the original. Also, it did meet my expectations, which wasn't what many had, I guess.

The writer supposedly said that wasn't the witch we saw in the movie leading some people to theorize that it was Heather in demon form being controlled by the witch . I said in another video that i feel there was a parallel dimension where the witch resides and once you cross over you can't find your way out the woods, it's like that reverse world they mentioned in Blair 2 . I was thinking the light was a door to the light side,/ our physical world opening up, it's the only way to escape the realm of the blair witch , which that crazy guy and his girlfriend did but only because the witch let them . 5 days in that realm is the equivalent to one day on the real side, maybe it's like a gravity thing , how on other planets where a day for us may be one month there but instead of physical gravity it's a spiritual gravity . I loved it , def not as scary as the original but i was still totally invested in what was happening and i enjoyed how they expanded on the myth . It could be a film that people learn to appreciate as more time passes much like the second movie . Hope there are some deleted scenes or a longer cut of the film , i have a feeling there were some key elements that were cut out .

Ok how did you get your hands on the director's cut of Blair witch two I need a copy of this someone tell me how please

Hey Cecil, awesome review!! I'm wondering, have you seen this movie called Train to Busan? If you have, will you do a review on it? In my opinion I think it is a really great zombie film from Korea.

+Goodbadflicks Awesome!! Thank you so much! I can't wait.

I felt the same man, I felt so depressed at the end of this film. For me, and I'm working in a script, Blair Witch 3 should be in a documentary style with paranormal investigation elements but not in a Found Footage sense.

Thank you for being in the school that once you see the monster it's no longer scary. House on Haunted Hill remake was the scariest movie I'd ever seen, all the way up till its comical black mist ending.

When i heard there was a new BW film coming out i was really excited and looking forward to it, i read all the early reviews saying it was really scary and a fitting sequel. Everything looked so promising. What made the first one so great (among many other things) is that they kept just the essentials, it was very minimal. As Heather herself said in the BWP she didn't want any cheese. Well, sadly this outing for the Blair Witch is saturated with high-fat cheese. It really is just another generic big-budget studio horror-movie like any other with lots of noise, and sound effects, fast panning and editing, it has zero subtlety which is one of THE things which made the first so eerie and creepy.. It is in no way the spiritual sequel to The BWP As mentioned in the video the character of Peter was a major flaw in this film, such an obnoxious, one dimensional character who's only role it seems was to mock and laugh at everything, the guy was a total and utter twat. Such a major disappointment. The directors of the original must know that this was an opportunity wasted and i'd like to have seen them do a 'proper' CHEESE-FREE sequel, hopefully one day we'll see that film, not anytime soon i expect.

I can't find pictures of the witch. did they actually show her? I'm curious

It's exactly what I expected a modern version of Blair Witch to be like. I didn't expect the whole time travel powers nor did I understand the point.

Could you please talk about haunted changi?

Wait... They brought a drone to help keep them from getting lost? Have they... not heard of GPS? GPS is accessible anywhere on Earth, in any weather conditions -- even when mobile internet isn't available to superimpose GPS coordinates over a graphical map, you can access latitude-and-longitude coordinates to guide you wherever you need to go. Way back in the 90's, my family had an early GPS unit, and you'd just 'mark' your current coordinates in it before going on a hike and, that way, if you got lost, you could just walk back toward those coordinates...

See I only saw a glimpse of the commercial for it on TV and I thought it was just a remake in the style of a Platinum Dunes remake. After watching your review it sounds like that's exactly what they did which is to bad.
