The
Blair Witch Project (1999) DVD
Starring: Heather Donahue, Michael Williams
The Blair Witch Project tracks the doomed
quest of three film students shooting a documentary on the Burkittsville,
Maryland, legend of the Blair Witch. After filming some local yokels (and
providing only scant background on the witch herself), the three, led by
Heather (something of a witch herself), head into the woods for some on-location
shooting. They're never seen again. What we see is a reconstruction of
their "found" footage, edited to make a barely coherent narrative. After
losing their way in the forest, whining soon gives way to real terror as
the three find themselves stalked by unknown forces. |

Curse of the Blair Witch focuses both on the
past and the present, with copious info on the Blair Witch myth as well
as on the disappearance of Heather, Josh, and Mike. Curse may in
fact freak you out more than the movie, and it evokes the great, pulpy
In Search Of series of the '70s, one of the prime inspirations for filmmakers
Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez. |

Practical
Magic (1998) DVD
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play
spell-casting sisters of different temperaments: the former is a high-living,
free-spirited sort, while Bullock's character is a homebody who can't get
around a family curse that kills the men in their lives. A widowed single
mom, Bullock gets into a jam with an abusive Bulgarian (Goran Visnjic)
and is helped out by her sibling, but the result brings a good-looking,
warm, inquisitive cop (Aidan Quinn) into their lives. The film has a variety
of tonal changes--cute, scary, glum--that Dunne can't always effectively
juggle. |

The
Witches (1990) DVD
| Scary, funny, and wildly entertaining,
it's all about a young boy named Luke (Jasen Fisher) whose parents have
died in a tragic accident, and whose grandmother (Mai Zetterling) takes
him to a posh hotel in England, where a secret coven of witches is holding
its annual convention. The Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston, in a scene-stealing
performance) has decreed that all children in England be turned into mice,
and Luke and his pal Bruno (Charles Potter) are the first victims on the
list. |

The
Witches of Eastwick (1987) DVD
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer,
Cher, Susan Sarandon
Nice mix of anarchic comedy and supernatural
horror based on John Updike's best-seller, this comic battle of the sexes
is coupled with supernatural thriller overtones. Three beautiful unmarried
residents of a small New England town seem to have conjured up "Mr. Right."
But just who is this rich, eccentric and charismatic stranger? |
