  • borez, on 11/04/2009, -1/+7Stupid idea, it is was it is.

    Also... I don't know why everyone hates on this movie, I loved it. First horror that has remotely scared me in years. But there again I watched it in the house alone and not on the big screen.
  • ironnick, on 11/03/2009, -12/+18bury. that movie sucked
  • MikeOSX, on 11/04/2009, -0/+4Dugg for bootlegging.
  • MaxEvans, on 11/04/2009, -7/+11Please god NOO!!!

    The movie wasn't that great to begin with. Why make a sequel that will obviously suck as bad?
  • daEvan, on 11/04/2009, -4/+7I saw the first one the other day and unlike every other person I've heard from, I didn't like it. The movie had virtually no essence to it. There was but one scene the entire film. Them in the house. That's it. The so-called "horror" was minor in every aspect and it was not at all interesting enough to be scary or psychological in any way. This movie was the product of hype and advertising, and any sequel will suck.
  • synfin80, on 11/04/2009, -5/+8Anyone that falls for that hyped BS twice deserves having their money wasted. That movie was a total let down.
  • arashamedani, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
  • IClavdivs, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3I agree. I've just about every horror movie out there and this is the first one in years that made me jump. It didn't follow the conventional script writing rules of pacing and keeping action on beats, which kept it feeling fresh and made me feel lost (in a good way) while I was watching it. It also kept the cardinal rule of all good horror films: Never show the monster until the last possible second.
  • borez, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2"Never show the monster until the last possible second."

    Damn right. Anticipation, for me, was always the sign of a good horror.
  • AdmiralAcbar, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2New meme.
  • AiR1890, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2same here
  • dafragsta, on 11/04/2009, -2/+4Paranormal 2: Book of Shadows.
  • xyllar, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3I didn't watch it, but I'm still sick of the advertising. All the hype just looks phony and makes me feel like they are desperately begging me to come see their movie, which is never a good sign.
  • cromulent742, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3I thought it was creepier than 99% of the horror movies I've seen.
  • MikeOSX, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3We don't need a sequel, just the thought of one is scary enough.
  • RegalBegal, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2*spoiler alert*











    The ending I saw was the chick waking up and staring at the guy for a long time and going down stairs. She screams bloody murder downstairs and the guy goes running downstairs. There is an audible struggle and shortly after she comes upstairs alone with a knife and blood on herself and sits by the bed and rocks back and forth. During that time the phone rings a bit and he friend (again downstairs) comes over, sees what I can only assume is the guy's dead body and runs screaming. Then the cops show up investigate downstairs, go upstairs where the girl gets up and walks towards them with the knife and they shoot her.
  • JeffdaBeat, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Exactly! Does anyone remember Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2?
  • edrift101, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2I can picture it now...

    The demon jumps to a teenager who dabbles in the dark arts with her friends. After a few sacrifices (her friends), she opens a portal for the demon to come through. She thinks she's in control of the demon, but she's not and it tears her apart. Freed from it's moral connection, the demon starts killing on a massive scale and the town becomes a ghost town...

    Weeks later, the grisly murders are uncovered and the police have no idea what happened... (fade to black)



  • sHockz, on 11/04/2009, -4/+5im sorry, but i took my gf to go see this hyped up movie....and mind you, she is a giant pussy when it comes to "scary" movies.....i dont think she even flinched the entire time. she didn't think it was scary AT ALL, neither did i.

    the only reason i could see people walking out of this was because of the sheer boredom waiting for something to happen.....not because it was Zomgwtfscarysauce. the last 2 minutes of the movie were, at best, OK...but the fact i had to wait 90 minutes to get there was stupid.
  • RegalBegal, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1I *ahem* acquired this movie to watch on Halloween however the version I acquired had the original ending.

    I thought it was good. It was suspense laden but there wasn't a huge scary pay off. The art of suspense for me is better than an out right scare but different strokes, right? I read about the newer ending and it seemed like an obvious 'ending' made to appease contemporary movie goers.

    A sequel though, who is surprised. It's unfortunate but it's the nature of the bea$t.
  • Kruse, on 11/04/2009, -2/+3Im really tired of hearing about this movie.
  • jprez, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Hey Viacom ... Blair Witch 2 and 3 are calling, they want you to make more bad movies.
  • BooLag, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2It was both boring and stupid. Especially the dude.
  • borez, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Yeah, I don't know what I'd have thought if I'd gone to the cinema to watch it to be honest.
  • fajitamelt, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Can you specify the endings please? I saw a DVD rip that had an ending different from what was shown in theaters, and I want to make sense of your comment.
  • fajitamelt, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2The movie was already tarnished by the 37th time they ran down the stairs, saw nothing, then went back up.
  • RegalBegal, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1I need a cigarette.
  • AiR1890, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Great, now we'll be seeing another horror franchise of ***** movies that will suck a lot, paranormal activity 7, the final movie, but not really.
  • miffelplix, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Duh. Any movie that makes money has a sequel.
  • irishjays, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1instead of a sequel just use youtube responses.
  • IClavdivs, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1It's actually a pretty good movie, but all the hype does it a disservice. It's the kind of movie that needs to sneak up on people and cut their throat, not run up and bash them in the face repeatedly.
  • borez, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2I agree, I was watching it alone, late at night in a dark house and it kept making me look around the room. No film has had that affect on me in years.

    I think people are just used to high action CGI based horror movies, which if you think about it, non of the classics are.
  • IClavdivs, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2It's cool to hate things just because they're popular.
  • Spoomeister, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Oh, ***** YOU.

    Lemme guess, it was planned to be a trilogy all along...?
  • zerosixtyseven, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
  • IClavdivs, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Blair Witch doesn't hold up at all. However at the time, it predated the whole reality TV craze and was unlike anything my friends and I had ever seen. We saw it two months before it was released nationally at a local art house. We knew little about it except that all of the promotional material made it sound and look like it was real. Although highly dubious, the twinge of uncertainty in our minds was enough for the movie to scare the crap out of us.

    I watched it again when it came out nationally with a bunch of other friends, who went at my urging, and was highly embarrassed by how little the movie met the expectations I had set for it. "These guys are going to think I'm crazy" I thought, and I was right. There was a sort of "War of the Worlds" effect that drove the acclaim that Blair Witch received early on. People who weren't there to see it hated it. People that saw it early still liked it, because they could remember what ti felt like to be scared by each scene.
  • UselessTrivia, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Haven't seen it yet, nor do I really care that much if I do or don't: but I'm intrigued by how much money it's making compared to it's budget. They spent like 15,000 on it and it's made tens of millions of dollars now.

    I hope that in the future Hollywood will try out some experiments like not paying actors multi-million dollar deals up front, but if the movie turns out awesome then everyone gets rich on the back end.

    Of course that would mean Hollywood would actually have to reform its accounting practices which are all geared around making it look as though no movie ever turns a profit.

    I just think that it might incent the actors and directors to really put everything they've got into it because if it's awesome they could make a fortune.
  • deviantsteve, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1That style of camera work pisses me off. If I wanted to watch crap I would have made it myself.
  • cromulent742, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Exactly. People are used to loud noises and buckets of blood, which are easy and over-used tricks, if you ask me. The subtle things in PA felt fresh, like the swaying chandelier and the girl standing over the bed for hours. The scene where she gets dragged out of bed stuck with me for days.
    PS - I watched it at home too, maybe that makes a difference
  • IClavdivs, on 11/04/2009, -1/+1Instead of making a sequel, they should use the money to study why this movie was good and all their multi-million dollar "blockbusters" aren't.
  • WafflesID, on 11/04/2009, -3/+3NOOOOOOOOOO.

    Take a good thing and ruin it.

    Didn't they learn their lesson with blair witch 2, Matrix 2 and 3, etc.

    to hell with a sequel. Why tarnish it.
  • Mushroomer25, on 11/04/2009, -1/+1Because this worked SO well for Blair Witch.
  • WickedAngelR6, on 11/04/2009, -1/+0Great. Another Saw franchise.
  • VikingBeatbox, on 11/03/2009, -4/+3I agree. That movie did sort of suck.
  • mruocky, on 11/04/2009, -8/+6Worst movie ever. Bury.
  • timothycrash01, on 11/04/2009, -4/+1What the? Is this actually a Digg article about the film that isn't an ad, and can actually be commented on!??

    This movie sucked!!!!

    Ah, I feel much better now.
  • daEvan, on 11/04/2009, -6/+2"blair witch 2"
    Are you implying that Blair Witch Project was actually good? That movie sucks worse than PA.
