10 Best Guilty Pleasure Horror Movies You Probably Missed

Blair Witch: Book of Shadows truly is one of the strangest horror sequels ever made.

Rushed into cinemas just 15 months after The Blair Witch Project became a veritable pop-culture phenom, Book of Shadows boldly - and, admittedly, bafflingly - ditches the ground-breaking found footage format of its predecessor for a more conventional narrative sequel.

But writer-director Joe Berlinger at least deserves some credit for not simply rehashing what came before - as the 2016 threequel more-or-less did - and trying to do something different.

Yes, Book of Shadows is aggressively 2000s with its overabundant nu-metal soundtrack, but it's also an earlier example of the meta-horror sequel, purporting to take place in our own world with the central characters being fans of The Blair Witch Project movie itself.

There's no denying the film's messiness, in part due to the studio insisting Berlinger re-edit and re-shoot portions of it for a more "conventional" horror experience, but it's still an ambitious, somewhat misunderstood sequel that certainly didn't deserve its five Razzie nominations (nor its win for "Worst Remake or Sequel").
