What Is This Witch's Promise ?

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2000)

This movie, while really an interesting curio,is a nice piece of hokum with some great moments. Most of the action is shown on video tape as we follow 3 young film makers in search of the mystery that is the Blair Witch. Obviously low budget,the whole enterprise is put together convincingly-well. Dialogue comes over as realistic and there is a tense build-up of atmosphere as spooky occurences happen.One problem with the credibility of the story is that it is not really believable that they would continue to film everything when things go so drastically wrong. However, there is much to entertain here and films like The Blair Witch Project show that just because something is low budget it is not necessarily poor quality. The DVD version is well worth exploring with a great scene by scene commentary from the producers and directors and a fantastic pseudo-documentary called The Blair Witch Legacy which expands the story and superbly complements the original movie.
