67There are moments of pleasure, humor and, yes, terror to be had here all the same.
-
63Has the incoherent look of a movie thrown together by a committee whose members weren't on the same page.
-
50It's a muddled, sometimes-atmospheric effort.
-
50Gets credit for avoiding the easy path. Too bad the path it chooses doesn't lead us anywhere we want to be taken.
-
42A flat, heebie jeebies thriller.
-
40It never actually coalesces into a movie.
-
40A clever if muddled collection of riffs on the "Blair Witch" juggernaut, dressed up with intellectual pretensions by Joe Berlinger, who directed this film with a chortling zest.
-
40There are lots of elements that make no sense whatever.
-
38The characters are boring, the violence generic, the suspense nonexistent.
-
38Can't scare up a decent plot.
-
38Berlinger has approached Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 with intelligence and even a bit of thematic heft. But, frankly, the cheap thrill is gone.
-
38The assault is against our ears, as the soundtrack pours forth a stream of thrash and Goth music.
-
30While not entirely successful, at least deserves points for creativity.
-
25Resembles an old Nine Inch Nails video. Missing from the mix are any characters with whom you'd want to spend one minute around a campfire.
-
25Downright awful.
-
25If you're going to direct a piece of crass, nonsensical junk, at least have the decency to release it straight to video, where it belongs.
-
20A peerless indignity, a club-footed vomit launch of teen-horror clichés, overproduced self-importance, and scareless gore.
-
20While the first movie steadily tighened its vise, the second loosens its grip through strained acting and incoherent plotting.
-
20We're only a little spooked, only a little amused and, by extension, only a little entertained.
-
16It doesn't have the imagination or daring to make a full turn to self-parody.
-
12Cult shocker has been turned into throwaway megaplex fodder.
-
10There's nothing scarier than a group of hormone-crazed 20-somethings, but this sequel isn't much more than a footnote of a footnote.
-
10Filled with all manner of tawdry tricks.
-
10Admirers of "The Blair Witch Project" are going to be left high and dry.
-
10It's just another bad horror film with inadequate young actors chased around a big house by something.
-
10Lordy, what a stinker.
-
10Few movies have spread their fibs or facts as clumsily as this one. There's not an emotionally plausible moment in the picture.
-
10Disappointing in every aspect.
-
10A straight exploitation story.
-
0Worse than dull. It's parasitic.
-
0Guaranteed to inspire many more belly laughs than it does actual shivers. Boo, scary? I think not.
-
0A schizoid monster slapped together by uneasy bedfellows.
-
0Doomed to be inconsequential and forgettable.
-
0If you harbor any fond feelings for the original, stay far away from this mess.

Sammyo0A terrible movie. I hated every second of it. Don't watch it, it's that simple.
