By Aristotlian Principles' elements: Plot: Three morons lost in the woods. This doesn't inspire me with confidence, even if you substitute "College film student" for "Moron," people lost in the woods doesn't inspire me with fear. Characters: Idiots. Even if these are average US citizens (in which case, I'd be very depressed!) I have no reason to identify with them or feel sorry for them. I'm totally disconnected from the events. I don't care about what happens. Thought: Looking for a legendary mythical being. Has potential, but the concept of witches isn't particularly scary to me, and even teh term "witch" has been corrupted and redefined by time, translation, and deliberate manipulation by the Catholic Church. Diction: A stream of profanity and people screaming at each other. Ok, there was some interview footage toward the beginning, but not much else was really intellegible. Action: Running around in the woods with the camera pointed at the ground. about 3/8ths of the footage is this. Spectacle: None The weakest element in drama, the most used element in films (aka eyecandy). This film was made so cheaply that there isn't realy much spectacle to comment on.
