For the life of me I cannot follow the 2nd half


I saw Blair Witch at the cinema when it first came out. I was very focused on it all the way through. Yet, I was completely dumbfounded by the second half of it.

As a result, I watched it again, when it recently came out on bluray, in the hope of finally 'getting it'. However, even with subtitlese and concentrating hard from 45 mins on, I still felt at a loss as to what I had just seen.

I felt satisfied with BW1 and BW2. But I am frustrated with BW3. Why can't I put it together (rhetorical)?

So, am I not picking up on a story cohering the second half of the film together, or is it meant to be deliberately chaotic - say reflecting the ramped up emotions of the characters?

It's okay. This was a horrible mess of a film. Don't waste any more energy on it. You're better off just watching The Blair Witch Project again.

What did you find so hard to understand about this movie?

Who the *beep* were the two locals? Were they really there the whole time just to help the witch? So the two times they show up freaking out they were just pretending? One of them was the killer who makes two people stand in the corner before he kills them? I don't get it..
