What happens

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is a 2000 American horror film directed and co-written by Joe Berlinger and starring Jeffrey Donovan, Stephen Barker Turner, Kim Director, Erica Leerhsen, and Tristine Skyler. A sequel to The Blair Witch Project, its plot revolves around a group of people fascinated by the mythology surrounding The Blair Witch Project who venture into the Black Hills where it was filmed and experience supernatural phenomena and psychological unraveling. Unlike the original film, it is presented in a traditional narrative format rather than found footage. Originally conceived by Berlinger and co-writer Dick Beebe as a psychological thriller and meditation on mass hysteria, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was significantly altered in postproduction, which Berlinger would later claim compromised his original vision. Among the changes were a new soundtrack, additional editing, and the integration of entirely new sequences. The film was released in theaters on October 27, 2000, and was panned by critics, but grossed a worldwide total of $47.7 million against a budget of $15 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
