Been nearly a year. What are your thoughts on why we waited 16 years for a thud?

[Heather, taking a piss.]

Still offended.
Made me realize how I keep things the way I appreciate them in my head.

I'll dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone. I like this movie. Is it perfect? No. But it's still a pretty good flick. It's a hell of a lot better than most horror flicks that have come out recently.

You're not alone. It's not that bad. It has its flaws but parts of it are quite good.

I actually liked it, thought it was decent. Is it the best Blair Witch movie out there, no. But if we are comparing it to Book of Shadows, it is... But we shouldn't have to compare this to that garbage, though.

I don't know. I liked BW 2016 more than Book of Shadows. But, as long as you don't view BOS as cannon, it is kinda enjoyable. I view it like Halloween 3 Season of the Witch. If you view it as it's on stand alone film not completely tied in with the original, you may enjoy it more. Just think of it as it's own movie and it does have some pretty cool psychological moments. Just my 2 cents...

I really, really liked this film. Flawed, not perfect, but extremely enjoyable. Glad to get a more than decent sequel to the unsurpassable original.

I liked it. Could've been better but could've been so much worse. Although I will admit because of how long I waited, anything with Blair in the title could've been released and I would've tried to find the good in it.

4 years on now and I increasingly think the film sucks balls. At the time I thought I liked the time distortion stuff, overt as it was, but that’s because I hadn’t noticed it in the original film and thought it was a novel idea. After realising it was handled 100x more subtlety 16 years earlier in Curse of the Blair Witch, I retract my praise. The only thing I like about it now is Callie Hernandez’s acting.

It was broadcasted yesterday; spanish audio, lights out.
As much as I tried to get into it, I was just repeating "could've been better executed".

Too much happening around: I won't get into their intention to expand the lore, didn't work in a substantial way towards the plot as a "true sequel"; very aggressive highs and lows (Lisa and James' moment amidst the flying tents frenzy and the "who are you talking to?" moments VS having GPS and a drone to play with as a means of "we are NOT in 1994" only to end up with... a "stupid technology" type of message).

Aaand comedy! From Peter's "it's just a little infected" line on Ashley's foot to Lisa's "can you please stop doing that?" (which really connects with the audience, doesn't it?).

Yay for the house set though.
Still not into noisy creatures.

Right. There are parts that I like. The house rocks. The time manipulation bit was cool. It was almost a soft reboot, with the volume cranked up to 11. I'm not a fan of jump scares. BW16 had way too many.
