The Bare Wench Project

I was quite disappointed in this movie. Although as far as B-movies go, it is not a bad movie in terms of the level of acting, plot, etc. But as far as B-movies go, no SEX?! I mean really, what's going on?! You got a handful of scenes where the 4 women are topless and a very brief lesbian scene, but I was very disappointed. I mean when you see a movie with 4 attractive women (I am a big fan of Julie K. Smith & Nikki Fritz) and then you got the one horny guy, which to me was a beautiful set-up for at least some 3some and lesbian action, you get nothing! As far as spoofs go, it was pretty "spoofish." Overall the acting was pretty good for a SKINEMAX movie. The emotion between the 5 characters seemed pretty real so that is the only positive.

This is one of the coolest movies ever! A direct parody of the hit film BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, it's everything that sorry sack wished it could've been. Definitely a more satisfying movie-watching experience, WENCH was shot on videotape and features B-movie actresses Julie K. Smith, Nikki Fritz, Julie Strain, Antonia Dorian and Lorissa McComas. Not only does this movie look and feel just like the original (there was no script or budget), but several of the scenes are duplicated exactly, from beginning to end. It's well-acted and believable, eye-poppingly sexy, and is truly funny. I give props to everyone who was in this, they were awesome. You will be astonished at what director Jim Wynorski achieved just using flashlights and silicone. People that think these ladies can't act will find themselves sorely mistaken, as their improvisational abilities are just as good as those of the original cast. For anyone who saw BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and felt somewhat let down, BARE WENCH will undoubtedly lift your spirits.

Like The Erotic Witch Project, this is a take on The Blair Witch Project, but with a cast of busty women who take their tops off at times. Here, there are four women who go into the woods with a guy named Lunk to make a documentary about the Bare Wench. I think Nikki Fritz's character was the director (i.e. the Heather of the group); she is the one who tells the story of the Bare Wench into the camera, anyway. Or possibly it was Chloe (Julie K. Smith), who is the one who does the tearful confession.

Like The Erotic Witch Project, this one doesn't seem to try to be very funny. It's not so much a spoof as just a loose framework to throw some nudity into along with some lesbian sex.

Nikkie Fritz returns in BWP 2-5. Julie K. Smith returns in BWP 3-5. Lorissa McComas and Antonia Doran return in BWP 4-5. Lenny Juliano returns in BWP 2 and 4. Andy Sidaris returns in BWP 2. Even if some of these are due to archive footage, this is a much better rate of return than the cast of the original Erotic Witch Project had in its sequels, for what that's worth.

Full disclosure I found 'The Blair Witch Project' boring & not scary. I applaud they took a cheapo film and with some creative marketing raked in the dollars, but that's my extent of appreciation. So I had no high hopes on what this parody 'Bare Wench Project' would provide other than female nudity and while it did deliver that element in doses it still managed to underwhelm.

Four women (Julie K. Smith, Nikki Fritz, Lorissa McComas, Antonia Dorian) and lone guy Lunk (Lenny Juliano) are seen in video footage found after they go missing on their journey to find the fabled Bare Wench (Julie Strain). Showing them before they head out, talking to locals and during their hike with disagreements. Plus sexy moments as the girls stop to get topless or feeling some supernatural sexy vibes get naked in a tent or get down with the Wench.

It's a Jim Wynorski pic so it's quick & cheap keeping with his latter day routine. Hottie Julie K Smith is here which is always a plus in my book, but between the bouts of nudity is a lot of talking and much is annoying or boring. 'Bare Wench Project' is only slightly better than the material it's spoofing but was profitable enough to spawn a bunch of sequels I won't bother checking out.

From the title and cover poster alone we would know and recognize that this film is a parody of the Blair Witch Project (although have not seen, know somewhat what it is about).

Directed by B-movie legend Jim Wynorsky, this parody doesn't do anything quite special. It is quite simply a T&A film with four women and one guy (as their supposed bodyguard) going into the woods making a documentary of the Bare Wench.

Aside from the women, there is a lot of irritating and nothing note worthy dialogue. The standout women were perhaps Lori (Lorissa McComas) and Nikki (Nikki Fritz). The other two women (blonde ones) didn't exactly seem like they wanted to be there.

In the end this film is nothing worthwhile yet something to pass the time simply for the skin. There isn't any thrills, no mystery and no suspense. Don't expect anything else.
