Blair Witch 2 is an obvious cash-in on the success of the first movie. The film makes no attempt at hiding it either, as that fact is the motivation of the characters! In this film's universe, "The Blair Witch Project" was an actual recording, not a movie. Intrigued and curious, various tourists come to the area where it was shot to find out more. The film centers around a small circle of tourists visiting the area. Among them is the typical cool young male archetype, the horror-obsessed goth girl (who, surprisingly enough, doesn't show signs of mallgoth-ism) and the boring, ditzy girlfriend. Also among them is the easily-offended, fundamentalist Wiccan girl, surely a result of so-called "witches" who were offended at the original film.
As for the plot, there hardly is one. A circle of clueless tourists stay in a house in the woods and some weird stuff happens. Anything that's supposed to be scary isn't (at least not to me). Just as an example: near the beginning of the film, there's this huge tree in the woods. The tourists come back to it later and it's not there anymore. Oooh, scary! Phantom tree! But if you know the motivation behind this sequel, you know what to expect. It's a ridiculous attempt at crowd pleasing.
