As it follows the twisted path traveled by five people fixated on "The Blair Witch Project," "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" journeys into a dark and dangerous place where the line between truth and fiction blurs and perhaps vanishes altogether. Individual perception grows increasingly untrustworthy as the film's protagonists find themselves caught in a vortex of unspeakable evil, the origins of which -- human or supernatural -- remain chillingly uncertain.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This sequel to Blair Witch Project is all formula and no creativity, mechanically borrowing elements from the original and other horror movies.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader One of the key lessons of The Blair Witch Project that’s completely lost on Book of Shadows is that disorientation can take place only after some orientation is established. Jun 22, 2022 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek It is just another dreadful teen horror flick--albeit one gussied up with self-conscious notions about the thin line between perception and reality. Mar 31, 2008 Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel Creating a movie that virtually everyone can hate is no small accomplishment. But filmmaker Joe Berlinger may just have pulled it off. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal All the characters make these self-evident, monotone comments about all the supernatural insanity that plagues them, and nobody seems nearly as upset as they should be. Rated: 2/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The film with which we are left is arguably one of the most disappointing horror sequels of all time. Rated: 2/10 Jun 7, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore The dialogue is brutal, to the point of cringing in many a scene, then it gets far too expository to take seriously. Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Daria M. That was worst sequel, because they are poor and no scariest. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review J H The first 5 minutes are good; how's that for a ringing endorsement? One of the worst sequels I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Ma. Catherine V Why does blair witch even needed a sequel !!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Whit H Look, how many horror movies of fantastic quality have really good sequels? Or even average sequels? I am not going to lie to you...this is not a great sequel to The Blair Witch Project. I think if it had no ties to TBWP, this movie would not be graded so poorly. Some of the acting (mostly towards the end) is decent. And the story is not bad. In fact, when I talk to people much younger than me like my adult kids, they overwhelmingly like this movie. My two youngest prefer Book of Shadows to TBWP (but in fairness, one thinks the Scooby Doo mashup is the best Blair Witch offering). My point is this: If you are looking for anything to recreate the magic of TBWP, no, this movie is not going to do it. But it's fun and entertaining and deserves a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Josh A I liked how this one was a bit of an experiment. They did found footage in the first one, so now we have a dramatization of "real" events. It still holds up the illusion that the events really happened. But that's basically all the good I can say about it. It's a meta-commentary on the response to The Blair Witch Project and the reveal of what actually happened was cool, but that's it. This movie doesn't have the same charm as the original. This feels like it was made to make money, which it was. We barely spend any time in the woods. It's boring. The characters are likeable, sure, but don't have as much character as Heather, Josh n' Mike from the first film. The way I see it, this is the forgotten entry of the series. It's like the Blair Witch equivalent of Spiral (the 1998 sequel to Ring, not the 2021 Saw spinoff) - a mediocre sequel to a great movie. Also this commits the worst sin a movie can do - it is boring. Overall, mediocre movie. I'm sure the 2016 film will be better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
