![]() Writer and director Ben Rock cleverly re-creates the real media hoopla surrounding “Blair Witch” as well as an ensuing backlash by the besieged residents of Burkittsville. His odyssey and those of his four group members makes for the spooky events depicted in “Book 2.” The most fanatical among them is Jeffrey Patterson, who created an elaborate Web site in homage to “Blair Witch Project” and recruited a group of fans to retrace the steps of the three missing filmmakers in the Black Hills. Premise displayed here is that in the wake of all the movie publicity, Goths, Wiccans and folklore fanatics besiege the town of Burkittsville, Md. In the mold of an extremely polished episode of “America’s Most Wanted,” “Shadow” briefly recounts the story of “The Blair Witch Project” and then feeds off into the buzz it created at theaters and on the Internet.
