>sequel mocks the beloved original movie while doing a bunch of cheap cliches and using cartoon characters Wtf happened there? Was the IP taken over by some private equity firm and written by a committee?
>>224029211>Was the IP taken over by some private equity firm and written by a committee?Pretty close. Original was independent, then picked up by Artisan. They then hired a guy who hated the original because it made people question documentaries (he was a doc maker).
>>224029249What happened to the original crew?
>>224029457Had no real interest in a sequel, IIRC.
>>224029211None of that is true but this has a stupid bad ending
>>224029457I think the two created wanted to make a romantic comedy. Im guessing they didnt want to be known only for horror/thrillers even though the Blair witch was not thrilling at all
>>224029211It was, that's why the shitty reboot happened in like 2016 and why they made a video game.
>>224029249Never knew any of that. Interesting…
>>224029457killed from behind while facing basement corners. did you even watch it?
>>224029211>>224029249for the record the studio wasn't happy with the initial cut and forced reshoots to make it more cliche, so the flashbacks, the intercuts of the police department, the gore, and the metal soundtrack were all added in after the director was kicked off.there are fan edits that attempt to make the film more like the initial director's cut, i haven't watched any so idk how it flows but overall i enjoyed bos as it is, i do think moving the police segments to the end is a better idea though but i don't mind the gore and the other stuff.
