We're a little too old to fall for this shtick. Certainly not people who saw the original in 1999 like me. I'm stumped as to who this was even made for. This isn't a spiritual successor to The Blair Witch Project, it's a found footage jump scare film for millennials who loved VHS and Paranormal Activity. It's funny that even with the new expanses in technology they still couldn't make this thing more interesting than something that was filmed with 1999 equipment. And don't expect to have the experience enhanced by any of these.
This is literally a rehash of the original story with more characters and a flying drone with updated cameras. The worst part is Wingard and his crew don't even attempt to bring any original story elements to the table. The first segment of VHS and the religious cult segment of part 2 are both scarier than the entirety of this film. HorrorLair - The Blair Witch Project Script.

They replaced subtlety and dread with loud sound effects, jump scares, and video game glimpses of cliché figures.
This completely failed to capture anything that made the original such a disturbing experience.
It uses the exact same scare tactics that made those films so successful, bringing nothing but a completely derivative experience to the table. You want scary? You won't find it here unless you've never seen one of the Insiduous/Paranormal Activity/Conjuring clones to come out in the past 5 years. So much for months of hype starting with The Woods trailer months ago which was eventually revealed to be this film.
