Neat idea, not so neat movie.

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2000)

Three student filmmakers are filming a documentary about a legendary witch who may be responsible for the disappearance of children throughout the century in Maryland. The students ask the locals about the legend, in the film's best scenes, and then head into the haunted woods to investigate, but they are never seen again. The only thing left behind is this footage that they shot during their investigation. At least, that is what the filmmakers want us to believe in this cheaply shot, extremely monotonous effort. The films consists of ad-libbed footage from the actors who play the students and the result is a slightly creepy pseudo-documentary. The three young actors are believable, but the film gets fairly dull throughout, especially in the daylight scenes. The film is probably a better idea than film.
