Both the
official
site
and the
MySpace
page for the film WITCHES’ NIGHT have launched today, both with the trailer, and
both looking mighty cool.
I have to admit that
when I saw that another film with witches was sprouting up I didn’t think much
of it. They’re a hard subject to tackle and do properly unless your name is
Argento, but I think that writer/director Paul Traynor may have the goods to
bring these magical biatches to screen in a cool way.
In WITCHES’ NIGHT
Jim is left stranded at the altar,
and best friends Rick and Ted, along with older brother Bill whisk him away on
an impromptu camping trip to spare him the humiliation of facing his friends and
family. The guys wash up at a bait shop on the edge of nowhere, with a rental
car full of freshly-purchased camping gear and no real plan. They happen upon a
canoe outfitter, who reluctantly agrees to rent them boats, even though in late
October the season is long since over. Suddenly their half-baked road trip
becomes a half-baked canoe trip. Dumped on an isolated riverbank in pitch
blackness, the guys begin making camp and drinking heavily. Drawn by strange
giggles that echo through the forest, they stagger through the woods and
discover four aggressively flirtatious women sitting around a campfire. After a
wild evening, each man finds he’s afflicted by a strange malady. Worse, they
can’t shake the feeling that they’re being stalked. As they struggle downriver,
they find themselves in a desperate bid for survival. Ultimately, a head-on
confrontation with the dark forces of the night becomes inevitable. And in a
battle of survival only one side can win…
Sounding good
so far? Well if your even the least bit hesitant as to how WITCHES’ NIGHT may
turn out, I think that after seeing some of the stills below and peeping the
trailer at the
official site your mind
will definitely be changed.
