[edit] Synopsis

Five British politicians (including Tony Blair himself, performed by director Mike A. Martinez wearing a paper mask) travel to West Virginia searching for a legend called The Tony Blair Witch. They begin by interviewing the locals and then bumble around a ghost town breaking windows and doors before a gang of local bumpkins kills them off. The film is presented as a mockumentary much like the film it spoofs. ^[1]

[edit] Reaction

The film was seen purely as a political satire of the original film with little substance to make it a good film. Many of the actors are visibly intoxicated, most of the jokes fall completely flat, there are numerous errors and inconsistencies, and at 70 minutes goes on far longer than its material necessitates^[2]. It appears as Number #16 on the Bottom 100 on the IMDb ^[3]
