One of the girls, Carrie Sizemore, even looks a little like the girl in The Blair Witch Project. But ... The photography, the continuity, the music score, the special effects, all of these are good. Certain photographic sequences actually remind me of Children of the Corn. The acting? Well, I don't think anyone need alert the Oscar nominating committee, but these folks aren't nearly as amateurish as some B movie casts. I think I would have enjoyed this movie more, and I honestly did enjoy it, if I hadn't seen Blair Witch. But how many plots and variations on a theme are there, really? I mean, boy meets girl, girl breaks boy's heart, girl dies, comes back from the dead, and eats boy's heart. Okay. If you can watch this without comparing it to Blair Witch its a good short film.
