First one was a snoozefest, this one looks like a shitfest.
So, it's better if you like shitting better than sleeping, I guess.
First one looking back is silly but at the time it was terrifying. The first one basically spawned both found footage horror as well as viral marketing. There was a huge campaign around the first film that was trying to make it look real. News stations did stories about the history of the area and everything before the movie came out. Blair witch 1 wasn't just about the movie, it was an experience that encompassed many areas.
The marketing was so successful you went into the movie thinking it was real, hell even the actors were listed as missing in real life (if you tried to research them).
