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 Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Taken on its own, Book of Shadows isn't good, but compared to its predecessor, it's outright abysmal. Rated: 2/5 Sep 12, 2025 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 Read all reviews

V P. I have no problem admitting that ‘Book of Shadows’ is a bad movie. It absolutely is, without a doubt. However, it is a bad movie that I love. I have probably seen this movie two dozen times since it was released. I used to put on the dvd before I went to bed 20 years ago. There’s just something about it that connects with me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Laurian D Terribly underrated. Everyone compares it to the first Blair Witch film although there's absolutely no direct connection and Book of Shadows could have been released as a decent standalone movie because that's what it really is. To me it was eerie enough to keep me engaged and its shocking ending still haunts me to this day, therefore I can only see it as a decent and pretty effective horror movie. I honestly like it more than the first one which is almost unwatchable because of the constant camera shaking. It also doesn't have an ending that's open to different interpretations. Book of Shadows does though and I find myself occasionaly thinking about it even two decades later. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
