The Bogus Witch Project

Pauly Shore (off California Man) stars for about 10 minutes in this VERY, VERY low and budget "film" which "parodies" Blair Witch with lots of "jokes" strung together and dished out to the public.

This is not funny, not good or indeed anything. The first joke is probably okay - but then straight after that it just hurts so bad you just have to laugh AT it, and not WITH it.

There is no story, nothing - its just a load of jokes which are strung together by this camera man running through a forest.

There is also an annoyingly bad sequence with a black actor playing some insurance idiot who can't look in the camera right nor say his lines good. Why was he there? Indeed why is any of this trash called "comedy" there?

Do not rent, do not buy, do not even go round to your enemy and force him to watch this drivel - it is THAT bad.

0/10.

This isn't exactly a movie. It's six short parodies of the Blair Witch Project with miscellaneous skits in between. Like many compilation movies, the quality is terribly uneven. A couple of the sections are pretty decent. The first one, the Watts Bitch Project, about some white kids who get lost in the ghetto is one of my favorites. The last one, The Willie Witch Project, about government housing in the woods is also pretty good. Both are dependent on broad racial humor, which I must admit I am a fan of. The other segments range from not great to awful. The filler bits are almost all awful. Besides this problem, since the skits all have more or less the same plot (except Pauly Shore's The Bogus Witch, which is at least different if not good), it gets pretty repetitive. While there are a couple good bits, I can't really recommend this to anyone.

I first saw this over summer 2000, I KNEW that this would have to hit the bottom 100 here at the IMDB because it is at least as bad as the crap the guys on MST3K are forced to watch. I totally forgot about it until I was digging through a box of old tapes, I wish I would have remembered to come here and warn everyone back then.

It consists of 5 or so REALLY bad Blair Witch parodies separated by fake "commercials" which make the worst Saturday Night Live skit seem like High Art.

For example, one has a guy dressed up as Bigfoot sitting at a desk, then he waves his arms around and growls, and then it goes to the next segment. Yes, they actually put that on film.

Most of the parodies seem like something a few film students decided to do over the weekend to show their friends at a drinking party, it is like watching someone's bad home videos, you can't string that together and call it a film.

Oh I forgot it has Pauly Shore, I thought maybe he would have done a full parody of TBWP and made it at least a little funny since he has some experience in comedy, but he is in it for all of 3 minutes in the very middle and isn't funny in the least.

No redeeming qualities at all.

And I've everything Phil Tucker and Ed Wood have ever done...I've seen Leonard Part 6...I've sat through Highlander 2: The Quickening FOUR TIMES! So I know bad...and this movie is definitely not good.

This video is a compilation of shorts based on the lamentably popular The Blair Witch Project. Unfortunately there is not enough material here to make one decent ten-minute short film float.

This video is complete and utter trash. I think I may have actually smiled perhaps twice during it, and the only recognizable actor is Michael Ian Black (Johnny Bluejeans from Comedy Central's Viva Las Vegas, if you can call that generally recognizable).

Don't waste your time with this thing...it has Pauly Shore in it for God's sake! Flee! Flee!

The first segment, "The Watts Bitch Project", was mildly funny, enough to make me think that this collection of spoofs gained its REALLY bad reputation mostly because fans of the real movie took the whole thing as an insult. I was wrong. If the first segment was watchable, what came next was complete, unwatchable crap with not one single laugh. The fake commercials were lame and the next spoofs were so unfunny it was painful. The Pauly Shore segment was particularly goofy and out of place.

My advice it that you can skip this movie but if you happen to catch it on cable, watch only the first segment. The rest is absolutely unwatchable. By the way, here are my ratings:

segment "The Watts Bitch Project" 5/10; segment "The Griffith Witch Project" 1.5/10; segment "In the Woods Segments" 1/10; segment "Pauly Shore Segment" 1/10; segment "The Bel Air Witch Project" 1/10; segment "The Willie Witch Project" 1/10

Overall: 2/10
