I have to admit that I also quite like this film. Sure, it's no masterpiece, but as a horror film aficionado (I go through the horror section of local video stores alphabetically over time and get anything I haven't already seen) it is far
far better than almost any horror film sequel in existence (not counting Evil Dead here). If anyone's seen Amityville Dollhouse you'll know what I'm talking about as far as
terrible films go. Most shocking moment of that film was a woman masturbating whilst thinking about her son (now that's something you don't see everyday).
As said in the review/defense, the film was panned because it had 'Blair Witch' in the title. Hell, I actually saw this film
before I saw the original so to me it was all completely new material.
Hell, one of the primary reasons I saw it was the goth chick (hot damn I've always had something for goth chicks - Fairuza Balk, I'm looking at you.
RIGHT NOW.

Anybody remember the Blair Witch videogames?
Why yes, yes I do. Only played the one where you're that girl paranormal investigator who goes out there in 1930 or so. Holy Christ ... not many games where the 'hero' ends up massacring a whole town and then blowing her own brains out. Made it more memorable than the original movie if you ask me.
