Blair Witch (2016) is a much anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Blair Witch Project (1999) which stars James McCune as James, a man searching for clues about the disappearance of his sister. The movie used the same style of found footage filming as its predecessor which pioneered and revolutionized the style.

The films problems outweighed the good. The found footage style was sloppy compared to most found footage films with the camera being extra shaky during scenes of excitement or suspense which made it hard to understand what was going on. The acting was also subpar with the main character James being very predictable and cliche in his actions. His emotion was also very lackluster and even did not seem realistic.

Movie-goer Trinity Marshall said, “It was cliche and cheesy. The filming is sloppy, especially for a movie that is using the film style as its main effect for suspense.” Marshall also proclaimed she would absolutely not recommend the film to others and that she was disappointed as she had really enjoyed the first one.

Overall, the movie wasn’t a disaster but was not far from earning that credit. The “action” scares were mediocre at best, and with a budget of $5 million, the film could have been put together much better.
