I hated the original “Blair Witch Project”. I hated the awful found-footage style, the bad acting and the film was more tedious and annoying than it was scary. Somehow “Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2” is even worse. This one is not a found-footage movie but the acting still stinks and it’s definitely tedious and annoying.

The popularity of the “Blair Witch Project” movie has prompted film fans and those interested in the occult to start visiting the small American town of Burkittsville where the picture was set. A tour group head into the woods and when strange things start happening, they question whether or not the stories were real. They must piece together exactly what has been happening if they ever hope to leave the forest.

The main characters in this movie are absolutely dreadful. None of them are remotely engaging and they are somehow even more boring than the characters in the first film. The worst character easily has to be the Wiccan witch (Erica Leerhsen “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), who spends the entire film whining about how people profit from misconceptions about her cult/faith. The minor characters are all like caricatures; it’s just so embarrassing. The least terrible character in the whole movie is probably the goth girl (Kim Director “Inside Man”).

This is a stupid movie where nothing makes any sense and it’s also just so badly executed. Also, there is no “Book Of Shadows” in the movie so the title is as meaningless as everything else in here. Most fans of the original despise this one and while I still hate the first one, it at least had some vaguely coherent ideas. This is one of the worst sequels ever made because not only is it a completely terrible movie anyway, it has almost no real connection to the original movie.
