Finnaly on DVD!
Yes, I can also see where The Blair Witch idea came from. Almost a prequel by accident, this story is equally as creepy, but set in northwest Pennsylvainia along the Allegeny river. The scenes with the mud witch are just plain weird and scary, especially when she is wallowing beneath a tree in the mud at the roots. You get the feeling that this evil is very, very ancient, and very, VERY sinister. This isn't your typcal horror movie. This takes some paying attention because it is plot driven, unlike most horror now days that is plot weak. It is also filled with strange images like a tree with white feathers, and bodies in a dark pool. The naked mud people flash in and out and run here and there and suckle from the cows. Their faces are in the tree bark, too.
This was a horror story that mattered. What I mean by this is it is a story full of depth and imagery, and very well written and told. The research behind this tale is phenominal for a low budget horor tale. The writers did the homework to get the Irish spells and historical facts.

Hopefully it will appear on DVD someday. I own 2 copies on VHS myself. It's sad the makers of the Blair Witch didn't cast references or clues to this hidden gem. It would have added to their tale and brought deserved attention to this hidden, almost secret film.
