jblaze2020 The Witch project spawned so many imitators. The joke of using British Prime Minister Tony Blair is the seed of this parody. They needed to take the idea further than that which they fail to do. During the course of the action as ideas dry up they use a series of smashing up a ghost town they have reached on the far side of the wood. Thus is staged with drunken insults at one another continued with m bad effects of breaking glass and wood occurring off screen giving the whole thing complete incompetence in terms of editing. This is hilarious. Thw Canadian director Martinez is a modern ED WOOD but know s his limitations and plays them up to comic effect. As a homage to Wood and his style, the group who are looking for the Tony Blair Witch are accompanied the whole time by Martinez wearing a Tony Blair mask. The Witch is in West Virginia where the gang confront rednecks: a Canadians comment on the supporters of Blair and Bush. This has received many bad reviews because of its technical incompetence. But its a guerrilla film and as such its the content and the parody that the director is interested in and eschews film technique.

rorempel There is so much philosophy behind the movie it could take hours to build up the subplots and inter-related character development. But, it is suffice to say, anyone taking the time to see this movie will be truly rewarded. Perhaps the most important aspect is that what was originally intended to be vague actually spelled out the whole plot without revealing the true message. I was intrigued how the background of the mystery kept changing with every new twist of expectation. This movie will set a very high water mark for future Bitch of Blair Valley episodes. But, I welcome them and am hoping for more in the same vane as this one.

sangue well, it didn't make me as nauseous as the original:)a group of film makers venture into the grenn inferno of West Virginia to shoot a documentary-they never come back.how many sickening scenes of window breaking and underage drinking can you stand?this Blair Witch/Cannibal Holocaust rip off, directed by Alaskan mad man Mike Martinez is, although maybe a bit overlong, hilarious and much more entertaining than the original Blair Witch.i guess Mike and his buddies were sitting around in their igloo trying to think of something that sounded like "The Blair Witch Project" and the first thing they thought of was "The Tony Blair Witch Project." for those of you who don't know (like me ) Ton Blair is the prime minister of England (i think) and he along with some chums travel to the states to capture the tony blair witch on tape. they don't of course, but the pay off is pretty damn good. after running aound in an abandoned house for like 45 minutes, the group are ambushed by rednecks, in a cross between Deleverance, Nightmare City, and Cannibal Holocaust.a fun piece of trash, and Martinez shows promise as a director.

Giuliano Testa Honestly, what the hell kind of premise is this? A group of FIVE people (is this a Vietnam movie) go on an "expedition" into the "untamed heart" of West Virginia to find a "Tony Blair Witch" of which they have no evidence even exists! Of course one of the group members is played by the director Mike Martinez, the Alaskan equivalent of Ed Wood, wearing a really dumb looking scanned picture of Tony Blair as a mask. The other four include Alexander Walker, a 70-something British film critic, played by some 20 year old kid with bleached hair! Of course there's the grizzled guide who seems to have no idea what's going on, the quiet guy, and the gay guy (Calan). Now I think it's a tie who exactly is the most annoying character in the film either Calan (who looks like he was actually intoxicated for the majority of the film, or a trailer-trash retarded guy who keeps following them around. At least when their deaths come, it's much more satisfying (and graphic) than in the actual Blair Witch Project with plenty of odes to Deliverance and Cannibal Holocaust (?).Martinez and his crew go insane breaking dozens of windows on their cheap-looking prop houses in their "ghost town" and drunkenly shouting insults at one another whilst stumbling through the woods. This scene seems to last a million years, but reportedly the film is being trimmed down for pacing reasons - thank god. The prop weapons and animated gunfire later on look really cool though, and the climactic showdown with a posse of local rednecks is action-packed and violent enough to really get the blood going. But who is filming all this? How does the guide film himself getting killed from fairly good distance? This film is full of holes, many of them quite hilarious, such as characters disappearing and reappearing all the time, haircuts and clothing changing between shots, and British accents that seem to come and go as the actors get lazy. This all is quite hilarious.Of all the Blair Witch parodies I've seen, this is definitely one of best. I just wish I understood their fascination with breaking windows, and how this figures into the plot.
