A rather enjoyable piece of old school horror, "Witches Night" takes the viewer on a wild ride and into dark places that we have not ventured in a while. Writer/Director Paul Traynor has obviously done his homework, and understands what it takes to make a modern horror film with classic scares. The film's premise is quite simple, a group of friends set out to cheer up a recently dumped buddy, and decide that a drunken canoe trip in Wisconsin is the right thing to do. Unbenounced to them, they fall prey to coven of (beautiful) witches and find themselves with various skin rashes and horrific visions... Solid acting from all involved, especially Wesley Walker in the role of "Rick". His foul-mouthed rants are at times hysterical and at other moments frightening. The cinematography looks superb, and the locations give the viewer a real sense of isolation and dread. The "Old Lady in the Woods" is down-right scary, and the producers of "The Blair Witch Project" could have taken some tips from these guys... I will agree with some other comments that the ending is a bit of a let-down, and seems really rushed. This is a shame, because the segments leading up to the final scene are suspenseful and creepy. Also there is a lack of any REAL gore, yet the sheer creepiness of the film leaves the viewer feeling uncomfortable...All in all a great little Indie to add to any horror collection, "Witches Night" uses old school values to sell a modern tale about things we shouldn't mess with.

Four buddies (including brothers) go on a booze rampage after the failed wedding of one of them and end up canoing in deserted woods, unaware that they will be the instrument of an age-old witchcraft ritual.Male bondage (and male characterization in general) is rarely as faithfully described as in this great surprise of a B-movie. It's extremely rare that you can relate to the characters in a B-movie, especially male ones. Characterization though does not go in the way of action (there's even some boobs, though do not rent this movie for it !) and I found myself glued to my screen for the whole duration of the movie. Excellent use of darkness. The director knows what he's doing and for a first movie, this looked slick and professional. I, for once, agree with the other reviewers that the ending was a bit of a letdown, but on the other end, we do not necessarily need a shocker.

Jim, a broken-hearted, disheveled man who has recently been left at the alter on his wedding day, could definitely use some cheering up. And that just what his groomsmen attempt to do. But during an ill-advised canoe trip as well as meeting some very sexual, but mysterious women, they are all inflicted with health problems. Sadly for the gang this is truly the witches' night.If I had to use one phrase to describe this film it would have to be 'too much build-up for too little payoff'. Not that it was a bad movie, per say, cause I enjoyed it a little. It's well-acted (for this type of low budget film) and the characterization was good enough. It's just that the lack of excitement in the ending almost soured the movie for me. Perfectly good for a rental, but nothing else.Eye Candy: Elisabeth Oas is briefly topless and some female moonings My Grade: C

i really wanted to give this movie 9 out of 10 but the end of the movie kinda ruin it for me..i was so enjoying it and in way things were not really expected ,and the acting wasn't bad ..and it had story in it,even tho they had to add some sex scene (which in my opinion i think its a lame to add sexual scene into horror movies)because most of the time there is really no need for that,no point at all ..BUT the night witch only had one scene and didn't really look like porn . i think its really worth watching even with the bad end..it was like writer got bored and just wanted to finish the movie as soon as possible ..or that he really ran out of ides to make a decent end for this movie.anyway overall the move is really worth watching .
