false advertising at its worst

I can't believe artisan (the same studio that released Blair witch) is actually distributing this pile of crap.

Don't be fooled by other positive user reviews for this DVD. They are all reviews submitted by its filmmakers. This is plainly and painfully obvious once you see this awful mess.

First of all, don't be fooled by the new cover of the DVD. The original release of the DVD did not have eminem on the cover for a good reason. The story of the DVD has nothing to do with eminem, and its false advertising to have him on the cover. Obviously they're trying to cash in on his fame with the redesigned cover. Pathetic.

To give you an idea of how awful this movie is, eminem got into legal battles with its producers because he was so ashamed of being involved in it, he wanted any footage containing him to be edited out. And I don't blame him.

There is more false advertising. There is no acting by any of the rappers listed on the box. All they did was tape several famous rappers saying how bad and evil the hip-hop witch are. Each rapper has a screen time of maybe 2 minutes to 3 minutes. Then the cut back to the storyline of a bunch of suburban kids getting lost in NYC. (Which is poorly edited by the way.) Let me reiterate, that the rappers listed on the cover of the DVD aren't involved with the plot, or the storyline. It's god-awful. Not to mention there is no real storyline in this movie. It's just a vehicle for showcasing a bunch of rappers talking about a non-existent witch. You can even see the disgust in their faces as they talk about it, but getting paid is getting paid isn't it? The storyline has no continuity, no climax, no ending. I repeat it has NO ENDING. No conclusion, no protagonist, or antagonist.

Steer clear of this straight to video disaster.
