Not giving away the twists here in the spoilers, just a couple of plot elements, so read on if you aren't banking on being completely surprised and are on the cusp of making a decision, as there are no other reviews written yet. This movie lifts so much from 1999's Blair Witch Project—down to the rustling tent in the woods, the missing map that turns out to be indeed stolen by one of the group, the strange house with markings all over the walls, the unnecessary scenic footage that is obviously going to somehow serve a purpose later—that I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit. Then again, since it was reported that none of the actors on either set were paid for their efforts (not sure what the status of that is now), hiring an entertainment lawyer is probably out of the question. There are a few nuances added into this one, like the fact that you do see the witch eventually (which isn't much of a spoiler), the reveal that someone in the group moves it all forward for a hidden reason, and of course, weird white masked figures who pop up and lunge at the camera but seem to keep missing the target somehow for about ten minutes just to take up time. If you're watching this alone in the dark, it might get you a couple of times deploying the usual jump scare conventions. Or, if you scare easily, and you've never in your life seen a found footage movie, you may find this to be more of an 8 than a 4. If you want solid indie movie scares, go for Hell House LLC or Heidi. They'll wreck your good night's sleep by the end. This is fairly forgettable.

Leofwine_draca6 March 2018THE LAST WITCH is as open a BLAIR WITCH rip-off as they come. This Spanish version of the story has a filmmaking trio heading off into the woods in search of a historical witch said to have escaped mass slaughter centuries previously. They get lost, they argue a lot, they spend time huddled up in their tent. There's a lot of heavy breathing on the soundtrack. Eventually, they find a spooky old building and then there are some additional character twists that don't work too well and feel like padding. There's also an ending that tries very hard indeed to be scary, but it really isn't.

zazzaalberto25 August 2018No story, no acting, no script, no emotion, no tension ... neither could be called a b movie. Seems recorded by three friend in their spare time during a week end

juanramirezruiz18 August 2018It is basically The Blair Witch Project with bad pacing, bad editing, amateurish acting and terrible dialogues. It is not scary, engaging or beautiful to see either. Most of the film, what you will have is people deciding where to eat, walking, arguing about how to mount a tent and telling "scary" stories that you already know because you have heard them a million times before, with the only purpose of filling time because the main plot is insufficient to fill a 15 minutes short film, let alone 90.
There is no need for this film to exist, or at least for you to waste your time watching it if you have already seen The Blair Witch Project, which this movie rips off without shame. -
sublibrarian25 August 2018If you are looking for the kind of Ed Wood "bad" movie. Just ignore it by all means really.
