A thrill ride that’s as terrifying as it is no-nonsense.
Wingard and Barrett add a creepy body horror element to the mix early on, and thanks to the forceful sound design there’s a greater sense of some massive, physical thing in the forest than the first film ever had — but Blair Witch is at its best when it’s honoring what has come before.

This also is a great movie that i don´t understand why people hate it, it´s easily one of the scariest, well shot, most interest movie ever.

This has to be the most scariest horror film I ever seen, especially the 360 view and the trailers after when It was known as "The Woods", My favourite soundtrack was Hackmarrja by N.K.V.D

Effectively scary and occasionally inventive, Blair Witch is a solid genre film both helped and hindered by its franchise’s place in cinematic history.
Falling into the trap that sinks most horror sequels, Blair Witch amps the jolts and shocks with more visceral frights (there’s some business involving an infected foot wound that is truly unnerving and also super gross) to diminishing results.
The acting and filmmaking are too crude to make you care about what happens to any of them, even though you know pretty much exactly what that will be.
There’s no methodical build-up to the suspense, no time to empathize with the characters, just unneeded bits of exposition the first film didn’t need to scare you to death.
A wheel-spinning homage gone terribly awry.
I loved the first movie, it was so innovative for its time but 2016 is scarier for different reasons. Good horror/suspense taps into the viewer's fear of the unknown and a variety of standard phobias i.e. claustrophopbia (you will be terrified in one part), darkness, noises. This film had them all. It does follow the first film's format quite closely but the the thrills are different. I didn't feel as close to the characters.

The sequel/reboot to the incredibly successful "The Blair Witch Project" comes "Blair Witch". With a established franchise and a proven director comes on the scene. Now there is a lot to Iike here. The performances were all very good. There were some genuinely scary/nail biting moments, but with most of that coming in the final 20 minutes. The movie has some unnecessary jump scares that take you out of the moment. The audio in the movie was fantastic. Whoever worked on that well done. So with good performances and some genuinely scary moments but unfortunately most in the final moments and some dumb jump scares make it a mixed bag.

The original 1999 film was a masterclass in fear, suspense, improvisational acting and the power of subtlety. This belated cash grab, on the other hand, is a 90-minute showreel of every terrible found-footage cliché that has ever been used since the dawn of the millenium. It manages to extinguish every single one of its creepy moments - which are few and far-between - with deafening sound effects, weak acting and an everlasting number of pathetic jump-scares that are about as creative as a child running up behind you shouting "boo". Sitting through its running time was a thoroughly annoying experience, though its unintentionally hilarious ending had me in stitches.
