I just got done watching this, I liked it! I think it did a good job of balancing showing new stuff while also keeping a lot unseen. I will say that nearly everything that happened with Ashley felt weirdly executed and didn't have a whole lot of payoff. Like her foot gets infected and we see something weird pulsing in her foot and that goes nowhere, her leg spurts a shitload of pus because I guess we needed a gross-out gag for some reason, and her death gets telegraphed from a mile away the moment she started climbing the tree.

Emissary666 posted:A lot of the hate does not come from the movie itself as it does from its relation with its predecessors. If it were a stand-alone film, it would be received more warmly, but the many stylistic divergences do not seem to be welcomed by those who appreciate the original Blair Witch Project. I think it's a bit of a balancing act. Mimic the original film too closely, and audiences will say "why bother? The original did it first and/or better". Stray too far, and you get fans of the original saying "it doesn't feel like a Blair Witch movie, it's just coasting on name recognition". I think some of the new stuff it brought to the table worked pretty well (the earpiece-cams), some of it didn't (the body-horror felt out of place), and some had potential but felt under-utilized (the RC drone was a neat way to modernize things, but it wasn't really used in a way that was scary or had an interesting payoff).
