    The New York Times | Stephen Holden

    A clever if muddled collection of riffs on the "Blair Witch" juggernaut, dressed up with intellectual pretensions by Joe Berlinger, who directed this film with a chortling zest. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Jay Carr

    Berlinger has approached Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 with intelligence and even a bit of thematic heft. But, frankly, the cheap thrill is gone. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says not for kids Really bad slasher sequel.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that there's not much that's worth seeing in this movie, although some teens may be interested. Parents should be aware that this slasher flick is filled with graphic sex, violence, and profanity.
  • Families can talk about why the first film was so popular, and how this sequel attempts to capitalize on the original movie. Is the first film just as scary, or even scarier, even though it isn't as gory as this sequel?
The good stuff
  • message true0 Positive messages: Among the victims cruelly dispatched are a pair of camera-crazy Chinese tourists. There is a lot of hostility toward people who are different.
What to watch for
  • violence false5 Violence: Chaotic, sometimes hallucinatory (but, unfortunately, all too clear) closeups of knives plunging into flesh, heads getting bashed in, flesh ripped with fingernails, and a man frying in an electric chair. A mental patient is graphically force-fed through a
  • sex false5 Sex: Glimpses of topless girls and rear male nudity that occurs in the context of a drug-influenced occult sex-and-death orgy. Some same-sex kissing and full frontal female nudity. We see a couple having sex.
  • language false5 Language: Frequent extreme profanity.
  • consumerism false5 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false5 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Drug and alcohol abuse.
