This sequel to Blair Witch Project is all formula and no creativity, mechanically borrowing elements from the original and other horror movies.

Even formula-slasher-pic fans are likely to find this hectic, unfocused effort a letdown.
A pale shadow of the diabolically clever piece of video hocus-focus that was The Blair Witch Project.
A plausible premise, visual tricks and a little blood don't help this sequel to rise above largely formulaic territory.
Just another bad horror film with inadequate young actors chased around a big house by something.
The real problem here may be that Blair Witch 2 was made simply -- and only -- because Blair Witch made a lot of money.
Really bad slasher sequel.
This film was cranked out awfully fast.
Berlinger is remarkably up front about the various problems with the production and how he feels about the result, and it's almost surprising that Artisan let all his words slide.
The arguing goes on and on, until you just want someone to die so you can go home already.
This film ranks on my personal lists of: Worst Sequels, Worst Movies, and Worst Examples of Film-making to Cash in on a Trend.
Kim: Something happened to us in the woods... something evil. "The terror continues..."Book of Shadows: The Blair Witch 2 has to be the worst horror sequel I have ever seen. It's worse than Jason X, it's worse than Halloween 3. In saying that, I'm also sort of happy in a way, that Book of Shadows was so terrible. If it

One of the absolute worst films I've ever seen. The saddest part is that I was among those poor, poor fools who actually paid to see this tripe in the theater.
