Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)

I realise this is one of those films i write about on this thread practically every year. I also realise that most people actually think it sucks big time.

However i always really enjoy it. One of the reasons is the terrific eerie soundtrack from Carter Burwell and the choice of songs set around it.

As the film ends and the closing credits begin the camera lifts away from the woods as the gorgeous Haunted by Poe (One of my all time favourite songs) manifests itself through the speakers until we get a fantastic birds eye view of the Burkittsville woods on a dreamy Autumnal day. A few minutes later the song morphs into the industrial thrasher that is The Reckoning by Godhead and the camera crashes back down to earth before battering and flailing it's way through the trees.

It's clever things such as this that this film does right and i think it has a hell of a lot of re-watch value.
