I dunno, I feel like if you have any sincere affection for the OG -- affection that isn't based on nostalgia or some misbegotten guarding of the tragedy surrounding its making -- then you have to acknowledge that this is basically the same movie, both in spirit and in form. Its affectations are simultaneously fully felt and entirely calculated, and its emotional register is similarly aimed squarely at angsty teens, fully appropriate in its goth pandering. And there's a lot of terrific violence! I'd gladly watch a couple of shitty DTV sequels to this one too.

The Blair Witch Project 1999
It's maybe good that these guys got lost and eaten or whatever, because before stuff starts going wrong it seems like their documentary was probably going to suck.
