Why it’s HorroRated
Wingard throws modern gear at an old legend, and a few ideas genuinely land: the drone shots of an endless canopy and the earpiece cameras make getting lost feel claustrophobic. The last stretch is a frantic, nerve-shredding sequence. Getting there means sitting through thin characters and jump scares that lean on loud noises, and much of the original's mystery gets explained away. Worth a look for found footage completists; the 1999 film is the one to love.
Synopsis
Following on from the 1999 original, Blair Witch (2016) is Adam Wingard's found footage sequel, written by Simon Barrett, in which James, the younger brother of Heather from The Blair Witch Project, leads a group into the Maryland woods carrying earpiece cameras and a drone. James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott and Corbin Reid star.
