The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Blair Witch (2016)

Starring: James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Valorie Curry, Brandon Scott, Wes Robinson, Corbin Reid
Director: Adam Wingard

Premise:
A young man finds evidence that his sister may still be alive after she went missing making a documentary on The Blair Witch fifteen years ago. Armed with the latest technology, a group of friends, and a pair of locals they head off into the Black Forest Hills. But they all soon regret what they find.

My Take:
This is more of a true sequel to the marketing tour de force original that basically created the found footage sub-genre. The movie takes awhile to get going and suffers from a few typical found footage flaws but final act is worth the wait.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Netflix DVD
