Finally, the movie’s pagan worldview is without morally redemptive values and, unlike the first movie, includes strong imitatable violence which will encourage a few young people to actually commit murder Content: Furthermore, as in the first movie, the ghost of the dead witch who’s supposedly haunting the Blair Woods never really shows up, leaving the movie without a palpable villain. The characters are completely unlikable, including a female character who portrays a naïve pagan witch. Mayhem and murder follow.īLAIR WITCH 2 is one of the worst horror movies ever made. Although the five young adults know the first movie was supposedly fiction, they begin to have some doubts when they realize they all blanked out during a night of drunken, pot-smoking revelry where the tapes of the first movie’s alleged victims were found. In the story, a former mental patient and video/film freak takes a group of four young people on a tour of the sites where the alleged occult murders took place in the first movie. Though this score isn't Burwell's best work, it still manages to create as much of an ominous, suspenseful air about the film as possible.BLAIR WITCH 2: BOOK OF SHADOWS tries to capitalize on the success of the original movie by creating a self-reflective story about people’s fascination with video, film and pagan religion.
However, this understated approach also makes the Book of Shadows score somewhat forgettable outside of the film's context, though "Funny Farm," "Stream Dream," "Barely," and "The Truth?" make a creepy, implosive impression. Burwell seems to be making the best of a bad situation with his percussive, minimalist pieces, which mimic the "soundtrack" of snapping twigs, rustling leaves, and unidentifiable moans that helped make the first Blair Witch tense, if not downright scary. The original score to Joe Berlinger's muddled Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, the ill-conceived sequel to The Blair Witch Project, features compositions by Carter Burwell.
