Blair Witch (2016)

This is simply more shaky, badly filmed home-style footage of young, would-be investigative documentarians screaming and huffing and puffing for 90 minutes in the woods while any development of the story about some sort of witch-cursed woodland is perpetually interrupted by irritating handicam malfunctions, clichéd, glitchy torches, dull drone battery problems, tangential scenes of body horror, and irrelevant camp dangers.

Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren) (2010)

Stick this out through its tired first 20 minutes while the Blairwitch found-footage premise is cornily set-up and be rewarded - to some extent - with inventive creature footage, Norwegian scenery, amusing moments (Ned Kelly suits and fake bear tracks, for example) and plotting that though uneven adheres to traditional Norwegian troll folklore.
