The World has gone Blair Witch crazy after the popularity
of the original movie and several locals in Maryland (Where
the movie was shot) are selling souvenirs and setting up ghost
walks for tourists. One such walk is run by an ex-mental patient
who takes a group of teenagers out into the woods on a Blair
Witch hunt. Then people start to die...
I
must be one of the few people alive who can claim not to have
seen the Blair Witch Project - I just never got around
to it. This movie does stand alone as a horror movie in its
own right and is actually rather entertaining.
The
movie is not particularly disturbing - mind you I have just
seen Ring which freaked me out. And the whole production
seems a little rushed - like most horror movies.
The
additional The Secret of Esrever is an entertaining
touch and tells you how to discover hidden clues in the movie.
One
question though. I'd love to know why it is called Book
of Shadow. There is no book in the movie and a book is
never mentioned, so why even mention it?
Not
a bad movie by any standards and it is certainly one which
horror fans can watch time and time again to try and unlock
the secret of Esrever.
