Critic Reviews

Shawn Levy

There are moments of pleasure, humor and, yes, terror to be had here all the same.

Owen Gleiberman

A flat, heebie jeebies thriller. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

The assault is against our ears, as the soundtrack pours forth a stream of thrash and Goth music. Read full review

Peter Travers

While the first movie steadily tighened its vise, the second loosens its grip through strained acting and incoherent plotting.

There is not enough action and at the end most of the scenes i was like what?!The acting was pretty good and the dead scenes were amazing.The only thing i absolutely don't like with that movie is the action,there is not enough of it.

Blair Witch 2 is a massive improvement from the original. It feels almost completely different, but in a good way. It's not a good film, but compared to the original, it will seem like one of the best films you've ever seen!

It's a deeply flawed movie. The premise was tolerable, as was the cast but the whole thing was just poorly executed.

There is no doubt that "Blair Witch Project" was a gigantic commercial and critical success, and that it was more than fair, because the movie is really good.

Unfortunately, this sequel is all that the original is not. I mean, it's a movie that shouldn't even have been made, because it's really bad, very weak. Comparing both movies is almost like comparing a golden nugget to a bunch of crap.

This movie tries everything it can to stick to the first movie and capture something that allows it to work and make a similar success. It is not a "found footage" movie, as was the first, but tries to continue the previous story, with a team of amateur and young filmmakers looking for information about what happened there, and the chaos to settle as the supernatural begins to mess with the mind of each of them. I can't say that the movie is a complete disaster… it starts very slowly, it takes a long time to capture our interest, but it gradually improves from the middle on and gives us a relatively well-made ending, that does not scare minimally, but at least, It makes us intrigued.

I don't think it's worth it to highlight any name in the cast. None of the actors really did a good job, the characters are tiring and poorly designed, unable to capture our sympathy or truly deserve our attention. I was simply waiting to see them die all.

At the technical level, the film is not remarkable either. Cinematography is weak, the film has the whole appearance and style of a very cheap movie B, the scenarios are not really interesting and there are no production values that are worth highlighting.… Expand
