Viewing Notes
It’s hard to believe it’s been over 41 years since The Blair Witch Project hit theaters (give or take a decade or so). And now we have a true sequel – Blair Witch. It’s first sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, was forgettable despite being directed by Joe Berlinger, one of the best documentary filmmakers [period]. (do i need a second period there?) In fact, I just read the synopsis while preparing to write this post and it was wholly unfamiliar to me. A fact made all the more damning considering that I worked on the marketing for the film. (as a peon. that’s not a brag) So, now it’s 2016 and general audiences are asked, “Hey! Remember The Blair Witch Project? Wouldn’t you like to see real a sequel of that?” with the unspoken promise that it will be good this time. Lionsgate definitely put their best foot forward by bringing on an indie horror A-team – Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett. But were they able to keep their unspoken promise? Read on!
