This film has a great vibe. The average moviegoer didn't get it.

I agree! The first movie was engaging and suspenseful, but not really scary for me. But Blair 2 was ... spoiler in white: watching normal decent people go fully berserk and not remember any of it.

When I heard about the director's death, I wanted to cry. He was so young and made so many award-winning documentaires, including Some Kind of Munster.
