Not readily apparent to the unsuspecting viewer and therefore beyond the reachof the cinema going public, only those who view this truly terrifying yetmesmerising film on video and DVD can take full advantage of a shockinglyeffective initiative that is located at the end of the film.

The deeply disturbing big budget sequel to the worldwide cultural phenomenonThe Blair Witch Project, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was directed byaward-winning documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother’s Keeper, ParadiseLost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills). Going against audience andmedia expectations, Berlinger created a truly extraordinary exploration of thevery topical theme of human evil and whether or not it is inspired by mediaimagery. Gone is the shaky camera and blurred cinematography of the originalto be replaced by a lushly cinematic experience filled with ritualistic stabbings,orgies, mental asylums, murder and witchcraft

For the uninitiated, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 opens with a sharplycrafted documentary montage that recaps the history of The Blair Witch Projectand outlines the first film’s progress from buzzed-about low-budget movie topop culture phenomenon.

Combining actual programme footage with interviews with real Burkittsvillelocals, the sequence places the audience on a roughly equal footing with thesequel’s characters who share our knowledge that The Blair Witch Project was”only a movie”.

Over the course of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, the five Blair Witchafficionados discover that knowledge isn’t much protection at all as theyremain vulnerable to the unknown, one another and, most scary of all,themselves.
