Vier jongeren hebben zich bij de handige Jeff Patterson ingeschreven voor een tour door de bossen van Black Hills rond Burkittsville. Ondanks zijn dubieuze reputatie is zijn bedrijf een gat in de markt. Vlakbij het vervallen huis dat ooit toebehoorde aan de kindermoordenaar Rustin Parr, en waar de camera's en de filmblikken van de studenten zijn teruggevonden, slaan ze hun kamp op. Een nacht die verstrekkende gevolgen heeft. (Dutch FilmWorks)

The concept behind the ingenious first film is gone, and a group of anonymous teenagers head to the Maryland woods to experience the local atmosphere. Though this film is thematically interchangeable with any unsuccessful piece of horror nonsense, it earns valuable points precisely because it is not so much a straightforward sequel as a partial homage to the first film. I have such a deep-rooted memory of that one that when the characters started talking about being in the exact places they know from the movie, it worked for me. However, it would require some kind of climax at the end, and not just some timid wink and attempt to impress. After all, it did a good job of incorporation the mythology of the Blair Witch.

This is one of those horrors that you shouldn't bother seeing because their only intention is to capitalize on people who liked the first film or perhaps believed in it. However, this is definitely not the way to build a myth. It's as if they didn't really bother with the screenplay; they just piled up all the foolish ideas that came to mind, resulting in something that can't even be considered a coherent piece. This isn't myth-building; it's just empty commercialism.
