I thought Blair Witch 2 was creepy and well done. As fortunato mentioned, it's also fun to hunt for the extras on the DVD.

I know I'm fighting an uphill battle here, but I feel like this movie unfairly gets the shaft. Blair Witch was loved by the hardcore fans, but hated by the masses. "Where's the witch?" they cried. "I want my money back!"

Blair Witch 2 gave them exactly what they wanted: effects in their face. Gothic chick eats an owl, hot red head dances mysteriously naked. The movie had the good mysterious sensibility of Session 9. Does everyone hate it because it carries the Blair Witch tag? I personally think if it would have just been called book of shadows, hardcore fans would have loved it more. Fuck the name. Just like Hellraiser 6, it was a good movie brought down by the expectations of its namesake.

SAVE BLAIR WITCH 2, SAYS I! It's an underrated gem in my eyes.

Jigsaw


And I really liked Blair Witch 2, I'm still not sure why everyone hated it.

Jigsaw wins a close see-saw hate battle with 5 rotten eggs,
When A Stranger Calls remake comes a close second with 4 fetid tomatoes,
while Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows gets 2 rotten eggs splotched on it.

Round 1 Match 13



Made by the same people who did Day of the Dead 2: Contagium, and worth every brickbat chucked at it...






vs.




Out-of-the-world aliens fuck humans to bits and then make a beeline for each other? Geez, if you say "its so bad its good" for this one...you need to get your brains checked...






vs.




I dare every campy horror lover to give this one a spin...and when your brains turn to jelly and your head explodes, don't blame me...
