Review of Blair Witch (2016) by Adam L — 23 Sep 2017

The direct sequel to the horror hit from the late 90s (not counting that odd quasi-part-2) follows the original's footsteps very closely. For a while that works, and again there are some decent scares thanks to sound effects.

But then you feel things get more and more repetitive and you find yourself caring less and less about the characters. There are a few new ideas once we get to the house (again, for the finale) but it's dragged out way too long and ultimately pretty predictable, since all found footage movies end the same way.

The movie also makes a big mistake the original didn't make: They show the monster.
