The only thing vaguely demonic here is the ease with which a movie as scary and original as The Blair Witch Project can be downloaded into oblivion an ..

It makes for a grating, overlong yawner thats guaranteed to inspire many more belly laughs than it does actual shivers.
Austin Chronicle
1.5
Writer director Joe Berlinger, who made the excellent documentary Brothers Keeper, doesnt want to make a scareflick that continues the story.

The arguing goes on and on, until you just want someone to die so you can go home already.
E Film Critic
1.5
tendency to cannibalize and sample from other horror flicks, made popular by the Scream series, is worse than dull. Its parasitic.
San Francisco Chronicle
3.5
A decent psychological mystery filled with paranoia and delusions, which messes with your head and demands that you keep thinking about it, even after ..

Book of Shadows isnt going to scare anyone except the bean counters at Artisan who are counting on a big financial return.
ReelViews
3.0
The whole is less than the sum of its parts; it never actually coalesces into a movie.
Tv Guide
3.5
A reference back to the first films standing in a corner doesnt make sense.
2.0
Not only is it an illogical, nastily violent affair full of stock characters and slasher movie tactics, but its a sequel to a movie that absolutely ne ..

Isnt particularly frightening unless one considers how horrible a piece of filmmaking in nearly every sense of the definition it really is.

This woefully bad horror film deserves the rudest treatment possible.

I wasnt a fan of The Blair Witch Project, but it is a cinematic masterpiece of originality compared to its sequel.
Internet Reviews
1.5
It at least aims for different and something that pays tribute to the first film more than anything.
Cinema Crazed
4.0
Its an exercise in self referentiality that makes the Scream series look positively subdued.

One wonders what Berlingers intentions were as he clearly didnt set out to make the simple scary movie everyone wants and expects.
Mr Brown Movies
3.8
Clever, entertaining, and thought provoking, a purely original thriller that is able to stand on its own two feet.
The Movie Boy
1.5
A plausible premise, visual tricks and a little blood dont help this sequel to rise above largely formulaic territory.
Calendar Live
2.5
Flashy, derivative and makes absolutely no sense. Its not even scary.
Spliced Wire
1.9
Less like the first, more like any other ordinary scary movie of recent years

It is just another dreadful teen horror flick albeit one gussied up with self conscious notions about the thin line between perception and reality.
News Week
3.0
This film is an utter travesty for those who loved The Blair Witch Project, those who hated it, and those who didnt really care in the first place.

While Berlinger may indeed be a good documentarian, he seems woefully inept at coaching consistently professional level performances from young actors ..

So whos ready for The Blair Witch Reject Oops, that titles not fit for a marquee, said the producers. Lets call it, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.

Laced with just enough intelligence and originality to modestly recommend it.

Maybe its all of the artificially flavored butter topping talking, but I thought BWP 2 was a damn fine little thriller!

...though this isnt a movie with enough redeemable features to be leveled with the original, it is, at least, still a mildly engaging horror flick wit ..

I wanted to cast a few spells myself on the writers...evil spells.
3 Black Chicks
1.0
The film with which we are left is arguably one of the most disappointing horror sequels of all time.
2.0
The dialogue is brutal, to the point of cringing in many a scene, then it gets far too expository to take seriously.
Father Son Holy Gore
3.0
Not nearly as original as The Blair Witch Project, but has its moments.

The unknown actors do a fine job of looking freaked out at all times, but the compassion felt for the original Blair Witch victims isnt translated to ..

While its not as clever as it thinks it is, its considerably better than we had any right to expect.
2.0
sounds a death knell for this overhyped marketing phenomenon, and not a moment too soon.
