It is just the same shaky, dark video of the first film in the least threatening woods ever. The addition of drone technology doesn’t develop into anything good, and better camera equipment also isn’t utilized. You finally get a few short glimpses of the Blair Witch but that is about all.

The cast also is consistent with the original film and this isn’t a good thing.
