Plot

Five fans of the Blaire Witch Project movie, take a tour of the Black Hills in Burkittsville, Maryland.  But when people start seeing things and weird stuff starts happening, they start to wonder if it was only a movie.

Review

I was always a really big fan of the first BWP, even with all of the hype that it had. But nevertheless, like with any popular horror movie, there is usually going to be a sequel.  So is it any good.

I was very surprised with the overall feel that Book of Shadows has.  In my opinion it is better than the original.  The charters are more likeable charters.  Most people disliked this sequel, but for me it was good, and actually kind of creepy. 

The characters are cliché in the movie though, which was something that I was truly not expecting.  We get the gothic girl, the Wicca, the unstable male, and the criminal.  Their budding personalities make for some interesting moments in the film.

I loved the way that the director still managed to blend several kinds of filming into the movie in a number of creative ways.  Even using security camera footage, which I think was a very nice touch.

Not for everyone though, either way at least take a chance with this one, you may enjoy it as much as I did. 

Gore

Mildly gory, we get some nasty gutting and stabbings.
