Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
A tour group inspired by the film "The Blair Witch" Project go out into the infamous woods surrounding Burkittsville, MD and soon encounter a mystery.

They have lost 5 hours of their lives and a competing tour group was found dead just miles from their camp. They must now unravel the mystery of what happened to them.
