Welcome back to Don’t Press Play, where I press play so you don’t have to. I’m your host Alex, and today we’re talking about a film that gets way too much hate. Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. Anyone who knows me knows The Blair Witch Project is my favourite film ever. It’s perfect. It’s why I’m studying film. But the sequel. The one people love to drag. It took me years and a cheap DVD from a pound shop to realise that Book of Shadows is the perfect and only way you could do a Blair Witch sequel. This isn’t a found footage film. It’s not trying to recreate the original. It’s a meta commentary on media obsession, mass hysteria, and how a film can blur the line between fiction and reality. And for the girls who get it, this film hits different. In this episode, I’ll break down why Blair Witch 2 deserves its redemption arc, why Kim Director is a goth icon, and why sometimes you need to press play on a film you think you hate.
