10 Smartest Decisions Made In Horror Movie Sequels

After Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 wiped out pretty much all of the goodwill generated by the first movie, a new movie was released to try and resurrect the iconic franchise.

Spoilers: it did not succeed.

Whilst Blair Witch from 2016 turned out to be nothing more than a diluted re-run of the first film, at least it gave fans this moment of a horror protagonist using their resources to their advantage.

Lisa Arlington, played by Callie Hernandez, is the last surviving member of a group of teenagers who set out to discover what happened during the original film. Lisa realises that anyone who has looked at the evil spirit has been killed, so cleverly uses the camcorder of a fallen group member to spy on the creature without directly engaging with it.

The plan goes really well, as Lisa is able to walk backwards around the room without being attacked. Sadly, the spirit uses the voice of one of her friends to get her to turn around, leading to her demise.

At least the original camcorder idea was pretty smart.
