Where before we had a dourly realistic trio, the cast is now composed of neat young dudes and MTV-hot babes obligingly showing plenty of tits and ass. Before we had innovative use of video. Now we get uninteresting use of film.

Before we had a single, clean narrative line leading to a grisly and satisfyingly creepy finale. Now we have an implausible mess of a plot, with boring flashbacks to one guy's mental-hospital past and a whole plot strand about a second tour group, freshly butchered at Coffin Rock, that is never properly resolved. Before, we were spared the horror staple of evenly spaced shocker moments, relying heavily on silly gore make-up. Now we are not spared.
But it gets worse. The sequel actually preserves the dull parts of the original. All the fantastically overrated internet-backstory stuff is massively amplified in the smuggest way possible. The first time around, Blair Witch agnostics asked why the kids in the wood had no cellphones. Good point. And guess what? They still haven't got them.
The scary thing is that Joe Berlinger, who created the terrific Paradise Lost documentaries, made this. Please, please, in the name of God, no BW3, no BW4, enough already with the is-it-real-or-isn't-it net-driven urban myth of the Blair Witchzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
