Though this one wasn't the box office hit its original was, it still made back 25x its budget, when we have beautiful, terrifying films that sometimes just break even. Backpacking on a story that wasn't even theirs, with characters i'm not even sure we're meant to care about, and decision making that will have you rolling your eyes into the back of your soul, The Blair Witch falls flat on its back, and doesn't get back up.
The movie has its moments, sure, where we are truly wondering what is going on in those mystical woods. It took the idea of the neverending night from many movies in the past but I wasn't even sure if I liked that, as it didn't happen in the first movie at all, but it is a definite visceral scare to think about an everlasting night so at least they tried.
I didn't like the whole medusa idea like if you look at it you die... Hmm then what were those guys doing on coffin rock with their entrails gashed out of them all tied together?
THE DECISIONS THESE GUYS MAKE LOL STOP IT. "I think my seesters in there!" 17 years later in an old broken down house after watching a video where she clearly died... Worst part about this movie was the most scares you got were always jump scares from the people scaring each other because apparently they walk silently and don't know how to tell their friends they're there. Please stop with the blair witch remakes unless you can really nail it without the gimmicks, I want this hour and a half of my life back.

If you have a 30 million dollar budget, I hope you get some things right. The cinematography and aesthetic quality of the film were pretty great and it had its emotional moments.
Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling respectively breathed life into their inherently boring & unoriginal roles. The story itself kinda makes me want to vomit in my mouth, though it did seem like they were going for a rather corny set up so I won't let personal bias get in the way of that.
Bottom line, you don't really care about either of these characters. Their love is nothing gripping, its not forbidden or difficult for that matter, and he doesn't even have to try and woo her, just keeps running into her and eventually he must think "alright might as well give it a try this is the 5th time i've seen her"
cannot believe that this has a 99% rating on sites I usually rely on, must be a candidate for the most over-hyped movie of all time, and to the critics that gave it 10 stars shame on you for diluting the quality Hollywood should be able to achieve.
If you want an award winning movie that delivers on raw & truthful emotion and the human experience, see what Moonlight did for 1/20th (yes, check me) the budget.
