Janebo SPOILER: You can't watch this pile of crap without groaning and wondering just where did these people who gave it 10 out of 10 crawl out from. They worked on it perhaps? They've never seen a movie before? Something is obviously wrong with them in any case.Anyway, the original hooked me, I was genuinely creeped right out back then. To compare this pos to the original is a joke. Ridiculous decisions, ridiculous reason for even going to look for this missing for 17 years sister and knowing how the first trip went, they go in without a weapon of any kind. Maybe they thought yelling each other's names in an endless display of stupidity would scare the boogies away. It doesn't and then the last 10 minutes or so just sink it even further by suggesting *spoiler* that aliens did it. Omg are you serious? I gave it 2 for the production-nothing else. What crap.

generationofswine It's one of those crap remakes, where they take an original that everyone loves, then they dumb it down to reach the Millennial Generation, and then they make it worse.The original was more psychological and made to seem realistic. This one seemed more like a slasher film. But I guess that is what happens when you start remaking shows to appeal to people that don't want to think at all.In the original, it was really your imagine that created the scares. In this one its made for people with no imagination to run wild and the difference is self apparent.Stay away. The premise just doesn't work for the new generation's tastes.

Michal Tichý Its retarded, annoying, NOT SCARY at all.. perfectly destroyed original which has power to scare even today.. but somebody in USA told himself "yea lets destryo that " , so they destroyed that.

ben hibburd Blair Witch is a surprisingly effective re-imagining/sequel to the 1999 cultural phenomenon The Blair Witch Project. Directed by Adam Wingard his notorious visual style isn't as quite as prevalent in this film, at-least until the third act when the plot kicks in. For the most part, Blair Witch follows the same structure of its predecessor. Which means large sections of the film are literally treading the same ground, the first hour of the film was incredibly dull.Thankfully the film becomes more engaging when James (James Allen McCune) and Lisa (Callie Hernandez) reach the witches house, whilst in search for James's sister who went missing 20 years earlier. Both actors do a fantastic job, especially Callie Hernandez who carries a-lot of fear and emotion in the final act on her shoulders. They're also accompanied by a couple of friends that aren't even remotely developed, and are essentially there for canon fodder.Over-all the film feels like a wasted opportunity. Large sections of the film were lifeless, I didn't need to see people walking in the woods for an hour doing very little again. However when the final act comes, it does a fantastic job of being atmospheric and genuinely scary. However it was too little too late.
