Bloody hell. I'm now in a room with another person and the lights on, and I keep wanting to look behind me.

That's too scary to comprehend (that they would try to make another movie). ::shudders::
I couldn't have deal with that in real life. I would have left them behind a long time before then and found my way back.

I think it's worse than most horror films because they never saw anybody doing it. With stuff with monsters, you can look around, be like, oh there's obviously not a monster there, and carry on. With this, you look around, nothing there, then a couple moments later you have to look around again to make sure a pile of rocks hasn't appeared Posts: 20 | Registered: Oct 2003

The first one was an experimental film that I think worked. I had just moved to a new apartment a few days before the night I saw it, and was alone. Talk about seeing shadows and hearing creaks!
The second was a dip in the cash cow that defeated the purpose of the first one, although I have never seen it and know of no one who has. From what I have heard, the cash cow was a runt.

I watched the sequel. It's bad. Bad as...Highlander II bad. Bad as...Scooby Doo bad
It's awful. It shouldn't be released, not even straight to video. Here in Brazil it tanked. Worldwide, I really don't know (for the sake of humanity, hope it tanked everywhere).

Brian (from Famil Guy) explaining the movie to a blind person (acting as the seeing eye dog).

I actually like the sequel. It wasn't the first movie, but if it had been it would have been like inventing a cliche.
The scary idea in the first movie was: "not knowing what was out there."
The scary idea in the second movie was much more subtle. The characters are gradually learning that they are the perpetrators. That's pretty scary, to not even be sure what you may or may not have done. (oops, did I give it away?)
I agree that some of it was unnecessarily hokey, like the kids walking across the road, and seeing the ghosts and so forth. It would have been better just to learn what had happened from the video. The beauty of the first movie was that it didn't rely on complex moviemaking. This one was a lot harder to get across.
I'd also like to know the (supposed) actual history of the "Blair witch." I heard the third movie was supposed to be a prequel that clears some of that up, so if it comes out, I'd like to see it.
