It's nice to see a spoof with an identity of it's own aside from the film it's satirizing. With all the hastily produced "Blair Witch" spoof knockoffs that seemed to be everywhere, this one had a wry commentary on the very people who make them. While I would recommend that viewers view the original "Blair Witch" (a frame of reference is important) they will find the misadventures in this movie pretty hysterical (a producer, film crew and four actors ALL get lost in the woods after encountering other filmmakers in the same forest making their own "Blair Witch" spoofs). I loved this cast too, they managed to stay in character all the way through and looked like they had alot of fun making this. Great comedy!
