    I think they should leave the franchise alone. The 2016 reboot attempt was pretty boring and it was a rare movie I was tempted to walk out on. The first movie is a classic and I still remember the theories and slight paranoia with the marketing of the movie during the early days of the internet and word of mouth. Unless they actually plan to show the Blair Witch finally, I probably would pass.

    How does one reboot this? The whole appeal of the first was its viral marketing campaign and found footage style, which can't be repeated.

    Unless they're going back to the 1800s to tell the Witch's origins I don't see it working.

    And if that's the plan then just do your own thing and don't even tie it to Blair Witch. The audience recognition and nostalgia for that title can't be that large.

    I'm not sure there could be anything lamer than re-booting a "found footage" movie.

    I thought next of kin was at least better than the other movies.

    Paranormal Activity 3 is my favorite one of out them all. It has some clever scares and was the first film to really provide some lore and world building to the franchise. The other one I liked was Paranormal Activity Marked Ones). Just dude to the fact it added more context to what was going on in the series.

    That idea has potential, but at the same time too much knowledge can be a bad thing and undermine scares.

    Fear of the unknown is what made the original film so unsettling. If we get the witch's origins, it takes away the mystery and fear aspects

    I didn't really like any of them but next of kin it wasn't great but definitely a step up from the others in my opinion.

    They did show BW in the 2016 movie I know they tried to go back on it but that was totally supposed to be her.

    I wouldn't mind it ,if it is done along the lines of 'Black Death' movie in a period story, but I'd rather see a Ninth Gate sequel
