VERY EROTIC!, March 1, 2000
This review is from: Erotic Witch Project Collector's Edition DVD (DVD)
Finally a soft core film fans can truely enjoy! Too many hard core and soft core films rely on canned music and quick disolves. Like the Blair Witch Project, The Erotic Witch is photographed and works on the same voyeuristic levels. The Erotic Witch is one of those special movies that the sex scenes themselves dictate the pacing, climax and stucture of the scenes. The tent scene is one of the best lesbian scenes I have seen in years. Darian Caine and Katie Kean are Goddesses! Very well acted and brilliantly directed by John Bacchus who has a great sense of the sensitivity and warmth of lesbian sex. Buy this movie immediately! You will not be dissappointed!

Silly erotic spoof that falls short, February 6, 2001
It was bound to happen, wasn't it? It was inevitable that we would see numerous "Blair Witch Project" imitators and parodies in the aftermath of the most successful indie flick ever, but how were we to know that one of the first ones out of the gates would be so close to hardcore lesbian porn?
"The Erotic Witch Project" follows a setup roughly the same as its inspiration. Katie Keane (taking on the Heather Donahue role as the obsessed documentarian) and her two friends Darian Caine and Victoria Vega decide to hike into the woods, armed with two camcorders, to shoot a documentary about a local legend: the Erotic Witch. Before their steamy adventures begin, they interview some townsfolk about the legend, and we learn that the Erotic Witch has the uncanny power to make people extremely horny. Oh, beware!
Once the girls get into the woods, the movie becomes a nonstop charade of nudity and lesbian sex. Yes, this title from Seduction Cinema (the erotic division of E.I. Independent Cinema) delivers pretty much what it promises. The girl-on-girl action is more explicit than the softcore romps on late-night cable -- stopping just short of hardcore, in fact. The only gripes I have about the sex scenes is that the lighting is a bit harsh, and the girls don't appear to be truly enjoying themselves. For instance, whenever the girls start to kiss, one of them quickly pulls away -- to explore a more private region of her partner's body, no less. The girls are nice to look at (Katie Keane especially), even if the lighting isn't very flattering.
Director John Bacchus tried to make this a funny spoof of "The Blair Witch Project," but he's less successful in this area. Instead of the girls finding piles of rocks outside of their tent the morning after a passionate lesbian encounter, they find dildos and porn mags. Instead of weird stick figures in the trees, there is -- gasp! -- a blowup doll. And of course, someone steals their clothes in the middle of the night, so near the end they're all pretty much walking around the woods naked.
One scene in which the parody does actually work is the one that spoofs Heather's whispered confession to the video camera. "I'm so scared," Katie says, "and I'm so horny at the same time." They got the framing right in this one (almost just like its counterpart scene in "The Blair Witch"), and Katie does a good job with her speech -- then she starts fondling her breasts, of course. If only the rest of the movie had been this inspired.

I liked it!, March 8, 2000
By A Customer
This movie is actually quite good! The three girls are beautiful (especially the blonde!), and there's a sense of humor at work here which makes it a fun parody to watch! Also, the interaction between the women is HOT, with creativity and imagination in evidence. The only part I didn't care for was the inclusion of that stupid gorilla. But aside from that, two thumbs up from me on this one!
