Since this adventure begins at the end of the movie, reader beware: SPOILERS BE HERE.Ī pivotal plot point in Blair Witch 2 revolves around the characters watching their tapes backward and discovering secrets. This was an Easter Egg on the VHS and DVD releases of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 that involves rewinding the movie to hunt for secret messages.
Now, no one would do that for no good reason, so let me introduce you to the Secret of Esrever. I’m such a fan of this movie that I’ve watched it backward, start-to-finish, more than once! Turn off the lights, turn off your phone, enjoy the show.Hello again, Blair Witch fans! If you’ve read my review of the endearingly-inept Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, you know I’m a big fan of the bizarre and basically unrelated middle child in the Blair Witch series. Book of Shadows is a great horror film, not quite as ambitious as the director set out to convey in his final cut, but tons of fun for horror fans.
After Blair Witch how would it be possible to continue to suggest the possibility of real footage and lost documentary videos falling into the hands of a movie studio? Viewers have now latched onto found footage as a style, but at the time following the release of the first film the idea was simply seen as a gimmick to get people to pay to watch a movie with zero budget. I would love to experience a true Director's Cut and wonder if it would have been as memorable, because Book of Shadows, as it is, is a fun little flick that deserves better than some of the ratings it's garnered by those wanting more Blair Witch Project. Joe Berlinger set out to make a film with a different feel than what the studio twisted Book of Shadows into, but the end result is nothing to throw in the trash bin.
