To be honest, the performances in this movie were quite adequate by all involved. Oh, and speaking of Kim Director, she was GREAT. I know there is some ridiculousness throughout, like random dialogue in certain scenes that make no sense, Erica being a Wiccan was really badly handled, the flashbacks in the mental asylum were pretty redundant, the whole affair thing with Erica and that guy, and the scene where Kim was eating fried chicken but Jeffrey thought it was an owl (WTF?) - but they were somewhat forgivable given that there was enough other stuff going on to keep me interested. There was some good stuff here! It's not a masterpiece, and it's certainly not a GREAT movie. The shot at the end of the film where a naked Jeffrey put a naked and dead Erica in the closet and looked at the camera gave me chills and I think is one of the creepiest "grainy" pieces of footage ever to be put into a horror movie! There were some seriously creepy moments, like the massacre at coffin rock flashback and how it was revealed at the end, the murder at the grocery store and how that was revealed, the hallucinations, and the whole subplot of that woman "intentionally" causing her miscarriage as some sort of sacrifice. I feel like it had some good things going for it. But, it seems to me, that nearly everyone - literally - HATES this movie and treats it as one of the worst of the major horror releases from the 90s on. I can understand why some people would say it was below average (even though I disagree). Now, I understand why people wouldn't love it. This is about Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 only and why people are SO incredibly harsh on it. The other night I watched both of them back to back again (I saw them both in theaters when I was 11 and 12, respectively and rewatched them both in college but not since). HBO Now has The Blair Witch Project and Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.
