It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Can't catch lightning in a bottle again by throwing more money and a cgi monster at it.

Blair witch Meh. The concept and ideas behind this were sound. Pretty much just remake the original film - The Blair Witch Project, but modernize it and did what the original did not and actually showed the freaking Blair Witch. A small part of me wonders if that helped to make the original flick so iconic. Anyway, the new film starts out great.. ends great but OMG the middle of it is boring as sh#t because of the weak character development. The original film is literally three people wondering around in the woods however it develops character relations and etc, etc along the way. It does depend on special effects to tell a story, it let the characters tell the story and connect to the audience in an emotional level. I'm not calling the original Blair Witch Project the greatest film of all time. In fact I would rank it a 7.4 out of 10. Anyway, long story short this film could have been better. Final score - 6/10

6.1/10 Here we are in 2016, where horror movies have loud noises every 5 seconds and nothing is left to the imagination of the viewer. The movie is okay and will do the job of scaring the mainstream viewer. All subtlety is thrown out the window and the "Blair Witch myth" is chopped into big chunks of exposition. It may kinda ruin the ambiguity of the first movie for some people. Some interesting ideas get thrown around, but nothing comes out of them. The first half is a bit boring, but overall not a disastrous experience.

The Blair Witch Project was a successful movie because people thought it was real. Following what we believed were the final moments of that group of teens was enough morbid fascination to plunge deep in the story, see past any mistakes in the "documentary" and be contented with bumpy images of people running around the woods at night. From then on, that fascination was over. There were only a few roads the producers could follow if they still wanted to grab the public's attention and, in my opinion, pursuing the "reality" angle wasn't one of them after we knew it was all fake.On The Woods, we are sent back to the forest with a group of couples who are hoping to find the house where the events of The Blair Witch Project took place, following a lead on a tape discovered at the root of a tree. One of the guys in the group is Heather's (main character on BwP) brother and he still hopes to find her alive (ok.....).As soon as the night falls things start to get creepy and characters start to panic, leading them to do some really dumb things like running off screaming into the woods, alone, in the dark. Also, I believe some scenes were included in the movie only to increase the sense of unease and/or disgust in the audience, which I considered effective enough, but it's annoying when they have no real development or importance in the plot. I believe this is where most of the bad reviews come from.Anyway, the story develops in an interesting way, we find out more about the Blair Witch and what's going on in that forest, while witnessing the characters' torment as they try to escape.What started off as a bland experience, since it was lacking the reality factor, grew up to be a decent horror movie with some "tight" situations that left me gasping for air. The theory to explain it all, presented at the end, didn't disappoint me either. Keep an open mind while watching this and you might be entertained. I'd give it a 6,5 out of 10 rating.
