10 Most Insufferable Film Sequels Since 2000

In order to research a book called Blair Witch: Hysteria Or History, 2 aspiring scribes take the inaugural Blair Witch Hunt accompanied by a Goth in a bad make-up job and a gratuitous nudity-loving Wiccan. They go into the woods to tell Heather Donahue jokes and mock the first movie, which turns out to be a really bad idea. Before long, they’re seeing ghosts and having weird dreams/ hallucinations that cause them to act in ways that make Donahue’s Razzie-winning performance look subtle.

There was absolutely no need to make a sequel to The Blair Witch Project, never mind this rushed, barely coherent fiasco. That said, the movie does have some unintentional laughs. For reasons hard to determine, one of the characters undergoes a breakdown that consists of her waving her arms, raising her voice and walking backwards very quickly. She also starts talking backwards, which prompts a shocked colleague to observe, “She’s lost her f*****g mind!”

Apparently they’ve brought something back from the woods, possibly a spirit that causes bad acting and narrative incoherence as well as blackouts, during which everybody commits a murder they don’t remember. Just like the protagonist in L Ron Hubbard’s novel Fear, in fact. But that’s probably a coincidence.
