I loved the 1st one. Something about being in the woods cut off walking in circles lost that scares the hell out of me. I'll point out few things I didn't like and you may not like either. The number one beef I had was the director made a horrible choice in following the tradition of shaky camera perspective. The beginning of this movie was terrible solely because of the camera shots. I thought with the advancements in cameras they would offer better view of the group but they failed.
Also The 1st movie connected me with the characters somehow better than this BW. I honestly didn't have a favorite character in this movie. I was so disappointed with the first 25 minutes I didn't think I would like the movie at all, but they turned it around. They stayed true to the witch in the woods being scary and it was. This movie is a whole different movie once the sun goes down. The weirdness of the witch can make people see and do crazy stuff. That's exactly what happens during the night in this movie. I jumped at least 10x in this film that made me bring my arms up as if I were going to hit something. Thats what I want from a scary movie.
Go see this movie for the shock value, for the scare factor, you don't need to be close to these characters for this movie to work. I had the feeling something terrible was going to happen and I stayed on the edge of my seat. The last 25 minutes of this move redeemed it. The ending is worth going to see this movie. I have to give it a 7 for the jumps. I cant wait to watch the end of this movie again.
