What they discover before too long is that although it may seem as if they're alone in these woods, something else turns out to be the case. These characters aim to go into the woods – the Black Hills Forest in Burkittsville, Maryland - on a camping trip with an array of cameras to shoot a documentary about their friend's frightful journey. The film kicks off in the scary house we left off in way back when and introduces us to four new characters, college students, one of whom, James (James Allen McCune), is the kid brother of a woman named Heather who disappeared as a victim in the first film, when three documentary filmmakers vanished without a trace.īelieving that his sister is still alive, James brings along his girlfriend Lisa (Callie Hernandez), friends Peter (Brandon Scott), and Ashley (Corbin Reid), and two locals (Wes Robinson and Valorie Curry) accompanying them as guides. On that score, it has its moments, but they don't add up to much. That is, its aim, simply and squarely, is to terrify. But, technologically, it's an update, with a scare quotient that's pretty much the equivalent of that of the original. It was shot, structured, and executed very much like the eerie original: so it too is a slow-build shock-fest.
The nightmarish Blair Witch, originally titled The Woods, is nearly as much a reboot as a sequel, directed by horror specialist Adam Wingard ( You're Next, The Guest, Autoerotic, A Horrible Way to Die) and written by Simon Barrett.
