More like a reboot than a sequel of the groundbreaking 1999 film that elevated found footage film into a genre in the horror category, Blair Witch is all the same except that the family member this time that's venturing into the forest is the younger brother James (James Allen McCune) of the lead actress in the first film Heather (Heather Donahue).
After watching a video in YouTube (which does not exist in 1999) about some mysterious encounters in the woods, James firmly believes that it is connected to her sister's disappearance and with the help of those who uploaded the video Lane (Wes Robinson) and Talia (Valorie Curry), he ventures with his friends to discover that there is really something mysterious and frightening that can be the Blair Witch.
From the start till the end, Blair Witch felt like a rehash and some parts are good especially scenes that are more visual compared to the first but in 16 years since the first, there had been more better found footage films and this Blair Witch is more like a film school project with new gadgets like drones to honor the original.
