As it follows the twisted path traveled by five people fixated on "The Blair Witch Project," "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" journeys into a dark and dangerous place where the line between truth and fiction blurs and perhaps vanishes altogether. Individual perception grows increasingly untrustworthy as the film's protagonists find themselves caught in a vortex of unspeakable evil, the origins of which -- human or supernatural -- remain chillingly uncertain.

Critics Consensus

This sequel to Blair Witch Project is all formula and no creativity, mechanically borrowing elements from the original and other horror movies.

One of the key lessons of The Blair Witch Project that’s completely lost on Book of Shadows is that disorientation can take place only after some orientation is established.

It is just another dreadful teen horror flick--albeit one gussied up with self-conscious notions about the thin line between perception and reality.

The inevitable sequel, Blair Witch 2: Book Of Shadows is upon us. Woe betide us all.

Taken on its own, Book of Shadows isn't good, but compared to its predecessor, it's outright abysmal.

All the characters make these self-evident, monotone comments about all the supernatural insanity that plagues them, and nobody seems nearly as upset as they should be.

The film with which we are left is arguably one of the most disappointing horror sequels of all time.

The first 50 minutes or so are extremely boring, and while things do get more interesting in the final 30 minutes of the film, it’s too little too late. Aside from the occasional reference to the first film, the movie fails to feel like a Blair Witch film. You aren’t missing anything by skipping this film.

I can't even believe this is a sequel to the movie that changed the horror genre, The Blair witch project demonstrated how to make an actually scary movie using the found footage style and that's what made the movie scary and original but the blair witch project 2 is just an horrible sequel. It abandonds the found footage and makes it looks like a 2000s movie instead of a found footage and it's really really bad, this is why I would never sell the rights of my movie to a big company. This is the example of why.

Eerie, enchanting and entertaining. I enjoyed it a lot more than the first one… I think it’s a classic horror movie. 🍷

I have no problem admitting that ‘Book of Shadows’ is a bad movie. It absolutely is, without a doubt. However, it is a bad movie that I love. I have probably seen this movie two dozen times since it was released. I used to put on the dvd before I went to bed 20 years ago. There’s just something about it that connects with me.
