Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
A Movie Review |
|
 |
After seeing
"The Blair Witch Project" my
feelings were simply that those three numbskulls deserved their
fate. A circular river, losing your map, no compass, running through
the forest in the dark, jeeze, it’s no wonder they ended up dead.
After seeing "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2", the Blair
Witch sequel, my feeling is this – don’t do drugs. Why? Because
all is well until it seems our new cast of characters get their
hands on some bad weed and a few too many beers and end up doing
kooky things and seeing wacky images.
"Book of Shadows" tells the fake re-enactment story of
events that happened in Burkittsville after "The Blair Witch
Project" was released. You know the stuff, how the crazy people
went to the town looking for the fake Blair Witch, how some of the
locals sold Blair Witch relics, and even some tour groups that
started up. This story centers around one such tour group, their
trip into the woods where they smoke some pot and drink some beers
(even the pregnant lady), and then weird things start happening that
are supposed to be scary and spooky. Like I said before, to me it
just seems like they got their hands on some bad dope.
I won’t take up much more of your time because you probably won’t
see this movie because you hated the first one that you went to see
because you got suckered in by the hype. Not this time, there’s no
hype to be found except that it’s the second movie. But my end
take is that this could have been a much better movie had the first
Blair Witch never been made. I couldn’t help thinking how stupid
our first cast of characters were and how our second cast of
characters are becoming just as stupid. There are some neat twists
and turns in "Book of Shadows," there’s some nudity this
time and some quality gore, but it still gets lost in how stupid
people are.
With that I’ll be giving "Book of Shadows" 2 stars
out of 5. It could have been better without being a sequel, but I
just wondered why people never learn. And, oh yea, don’t do drugs
or you too might end up having a miscarriage, or seeing little kids
that aren’t really there, or hanging your wife. And, oh yea, part
two, if you really want to protect yourself from getting caught,
leave the video cameras at home.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
