This "fictionalized re-enactment" of events following the release of The Blair Witch Project revisits the Maryland wilderness with a fly-by-night tour guide and his party of sightseers: a psychic Goth, a militant Wiccan, and a married pair of nonfiction authors. (Bad actors, every one.) Aside from the continual references to the earlier film -- and without that one's penny-pinching pragmatism -- the sequel is an utterly routine affair. Its total game plan is contained in the line of dialogue that asserts that video doesn't lie, but film does: a filmmaker's license to show us whatever he wants, without rhyme or reason, before finally showing us what "really happened" on video. Joe Berlinger, the documentarist of Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, is the new director. The previous directors, Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick, make do as executive producers. With Kim Director (surely a candidate to direct the next sequel), Erica Leerhsen, Tristen Skyler, Stephen Barker Turner, and Jeff Donovan. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
