Not the worst soft-core parody film
smatysia24 June 2014
Well, I have certainly seen worse soft-core parody films. The best part of this one was that they kept the nudity restricted to the girls, and we were not subjected to naked men. Sorry, ladies and gays, this movie is not for you. The plot, writing, and dialog were terrible, but this is after all a parody and I suppose that they were aiming for camp. They missed. But the girls were very pretty, aside from the badly overdone silicone jobs. Nikki Fritz and Lorissa McComas looked very nice. Oddly for me, who usually prefers brunettes, I liked the two blonde girls much more. Props to Antonia Dorian for her lovely natural-appearing boobies. And for whatever reason Julie K. Smith struck me as the prettiest of the bunch, with the least bad acting. (It's hard to critique an actress when this is the material she has to work with.) So, you can check it out as a breast fest, but it has no other redeeming qualities.

You were expecting Citizen Kane?
edgein1520 June 2000
Wynorski films are always excreble. This is just another case in point. Out of the five naked women shamelessly flaunted here, MAYBE one has real breasts. And that's a strong MAYBE. No humor, no gore, just boobies, boobies, boobies. And some tepid softcore lesbo action. But know what? For fifty cents less than this video rental, I could have rented legitimate porn. Do I feel cheated? With Wynorski, always. So I prepared myself for a letdown, as one must always do.

It is as expected
Floated217 September 2022
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.

Yes, it is a Blair Witch parody....and that's about it. C-
Smooth B27 April 2001
I'm a fan of Jim Wynorski movies, don't get me wrong, but this flick left a whole lot to be desired. First off, we get a group of sorority sisters (four of them, no less) alone in the woods with only one guy "protecting" them.

Anyone else see the sexual possibilities there?

You could have lesbian scenes a plenty, or maybe the guy pairing off with each girl at different times, or even one big orgy, but we get none of that. Nope, none. Just a few seconds of Lorissa McComas and Nikki Fritz kissing, bare-breasted. Yep.

There was a moderate amount of nudity, but far less than what you would expect Cinemax has on in the middle of the night on a Friday. Julie Strain makes an appearance as the Bare Wench herself.

Oh, did I mention this is a parody of "The Blair Witch Project"? You get most of the scenes you see in the real movie....they lose the map, get lost, yell at each other, the only guy disappears, and when they go look for him.....they find weird stuff left behind. They've even got the "shaky camera" feel to it.

Look for Julie K. Smith doing Heather Donahue's "I'm sorry" speech with the flashlight from the actual movie. Looking straight up at her face from below, you see these two large mounds obscuring your view.....yep, now that's a sight to see.

All in all, it's painfully short and not too straining on the senses. Look for a cameo by Andy Sidaris (yes, Andy Sidaris, no kidding) as a local store owner named Dick Bigdickian. Don't laugh too hard at that name, please. It's real hard not to, because I know I did!

Oh my god, look at those t*ts!
chrisbrown64536 August 2000
Well, this may be one of the worst movies ever, but atleast there are some nice t*ts in it. The movie is a very bad spoof of The Blair Witch Project, and should be watched only by those wanting to see some t*ts, and NO point other than to flaunt them.

At least Lorissa was cuddly
RavenGlamDVDCollector8 April 2014
It has come to my attention that I am not in the habit of writing helpful reviews, and that most of my contributions are just boring rants regarding DVD unavailability. Well, here goes, people, a helpful review. Do not buy this movie. If you wanna buy or rent sexy stuff, buy or rent a genuine porno. As a movie, this one has no street cred, it is mostly unfunny, and the style is lamer than lame. As a soft-core porno, it has no street cred either. As a surgically- enhanced bare boob extravaganza for morons it might score slightly better, but then again, that market has its connoisseurs who'd give this a thumbs-down as well. That Antonia girl looks like she doesn't wanna play along, and only cute Lorissa is worth a second look, well, a third and a fourth too. But even with her obvious charms dangling there, this movie is a No No Never. Not so much a turkey as a days-old dead turkey.

Okay, IMDb fans, put that one in your pipe and smoke it. An actual standard helpful review from RavenGlamDVDCollector. Now don't come and tell me nobody found it useful, cause what I wrote here could save you a few dollars and steer you towards BARELY LEGAL or something divinely naughty like that. Thank me tonight as something really pretty with natural, fresh-out-of-school curves dances on your screen.

But don't fall for bad B-movie dreck like this. Although Lorissa is worth a fifth and sixth look as well...:)

Might I suggest that the director be shot, after having licked off one of those obviously dirty sex toys?

ADDENDUM ADDENDUM ADDENDUM

It is the next day. I googled Lorissa McComas as was shocked to find out she is deceased, outraged to learn that she was obviously murdered, and I'm positively livid by the fact that the case was ruled as suicide, while all the evidence, and there is a damning list, points to an abusive gun-toting husband, scum of the lowest order, who had been slinging that shot-gun around the night before and that very morning. Please, people, add your vote to the petition to re-open this case. I am now looking at this movie in a very, very different way. I would just like to add that I think Lorissa could only have been a very nice, very fun person. The charges brought against her in her youth because of a dollar-note stuffed into her above-the-knee garter belt was the first misrepresentation of justice in her tragically short life. I call on the American Justice Department to rectify these mistakes. Find that missing bastard who is still on the run, but making a bundle out of selling Lorissa's pictures on the Net. My apologies to the memory of Lorissa if anything in yesterday's review was said in too light a vein. I knew nothing of these tragic circumstances. RavenGlamDVDCollector@gmail.com

Too little action, too much pointless talking.
dbrown-0702047 October 2003
Bare Wench is another softcore parody of the Blair Witch project (I think there's about two dozen of those things out there). It has 5 very attractive women (which includes Nikki Fritz, Julie Smith, and Julie Strain), and one dorky guy whose only purpose is to provide comic relief.

Okay, so I'm thinking "Cool. Great looking women, having softcore lesbian sex with each other very 10 minutes or so. This should be real good."

Unfortunately, the producers blew it. There is nothing in this video that actually qualifies as a sex scene. There's a couple of false starts, but the majority of the action is just the women posing for the camera. I guess once the producers had spent their money on the women, and spent more getting them to remove their clothes, they didn't have any money left to get them to actually do anything. And I guess they also used up all their alloted nudity time too early, because towards the end of the video, there is a huge amount of pointless dialogue that is obviously being used for no other reason than to pad out the run time. "You're a liar! No you are! You go into the cave! No you go! I think we should go home! Well, I don't!" This goes on and on and on forever.

There's way better stuff than this.

You can't even compare the great classic Blair Witch with that; nor as a parody, the ending was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
jordison-236528 July 2022
If it was released before the Blair Witch project, it could even be a hit, but it only serves as a reasonable softcore within its genre. "No clothes" version of Blair Witch Project, the frontal nudity movie, very topless, but it doesn't have straight sex scenes, a pity.

You can't even compare the great classic Blair Witch with that; nor as a parody, the ending was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

As I suspected, it really is a parody of "The Blair Witch Project", but apart from the beauty of the bodies of the four girls, what remains is a film with a lot of boring and irritating talk.

If the intention of the movie was to be bad, congratulations, they did it... hahahahaha.

Cheap Parody To A Cheap Flick
refinedsugar11 October 2023
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 their lone guy helper Lunk (Lenny Juliano) are seen in video footage found after they go missing on their journey to find the fabled Bare Wench (Julie Strain) in the mountains. 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 of it 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.

This is a joke, right?
pssportscards-7755121 February 2022
Wow - can I have that time back please? And by time I mean the 15 minutes I suffered through before turning it off! To call it bad would be such an understatement.

Grin and Bare It
NoDakTatum7 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What can you say about a film that makes "The Erotic Witch Project" look like "The English Patient"? Again, the plot and characters are secondary, but the plot is almost an exact copy of "TEWP." Four buxom sorority sisters and a goofy male guide enter a forest to look for the Bare Wench, and the women become sexually charged. The Bare Wench leaves porno devices and a blow-up doll, just like in "TEWP." They get lost, the doofus gets lost, and the girls find their way back to their hotel. There they reenact the end of "The Blair Witch Project," as cameras are dropped and the guide is seen playing hopscotch, a game integral to the thin plot.

At least three of the sorority sisters here have unnaturally large breasts full of dimples and stretch marks, along with rather obvious surgery scars. The one "natural" gal here is humiliated by the director. In a very unfunny and overlong end credit segment, outtake scenes where she could not get a line right is played over and over again ad nauseum. Julie Strain shows up in a fright wig to play the Bare Wench. This one scene seems to be added later, since no one could possibly be credited in the cast with shooting it. In the background, as the women cavort and stroke, you can see someone's picket fence. This may be director Wynorski's backyard. This is just bad stuff. The lesbian love scenes are kelvin degrees cooler than "The Erotic Witch Project"'s. Most of the lovin' consists of the four women mashing their eight collective breasts together. I think they are trying to form a silicone based lifeform that would rescue them from this bad career decision. No such luck. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the makers of "The Blair Witch Project" should be really really mad.

Such a great movie to watch on a first date. Oscar material here.
alqpoe10 July 2006
I saw this movie several years ago. It is still fresh in my mind. It's like Austin Powers where you can quote the movie several years later and every normal woman will finish the quote before you get a chance to. It's a great mix of comedy with a little satire, and full of romance. 10 Stars easy! If you are looking for a great movie to take out a hot chick, look no more. Also, the hot dog dance is something you can't miss. I think the head director of Cirque Du Soleil, Pierre-Etienne Lessard, directed that scene. Flawless! In my opinion: Actors- 10 Scenery- 10 Cinematography- 10 Story- 11 It is the Baulders Gate of movies.

My favorite guilty pleasure
pumaye31 July 2001
For a movie made as a Blair Witch spoof, this joke works well on several levels: first of all, and it was its target, all the actresses are really beautiful (in particular, Lorissa and Nikki are simply divine) and they show us gladly their bodies (the nightmare sequence is a dream for any straight male viewer); second, there a few very good jokes in the movie (but I don't want to spoil them) and all in all I liked it more than the original one.

As a guilty pleasure, it's a really good one (girls, next time you want to go skinny dipping give me a call...).

Way better than the real thing!
gonzoriffic20 February 2000
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.

Could not be better!!
ltmetom12 August 2000
This movie is so silly & goofy it really comes out hilarious!!! I was not expecting much more than a T&A movie. I thought it would take a few beers just to put up with it. I was never more wrong. Nikki Fritz really makes the show. Her screaming at Lunk(who is also good) was better than Heather Donahue did in Blair Witch. Even girls who are not to uptight about T&A flicks will find it very funny. Julie & Lorissa were great as well. This is one you will have to watch to find out just how good it is! I liked the Blair Witch Project but this one is more fun & easy on the eye. This is a MUST for anyone who likes Nikki Fritz, Julie K. Smith or Lorissa McComas. Make another one girls!

Nikki Fritz and friends go bob, bob, bobbing along
Dr. Gore17 December 2004
Warning: Spoilers
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

I bought this DVD. Nikki Fritz and Julie Smith fill the screen with their abundant charm. They're off to see the Wench, the wonderful Wench of Oz. They drag a couple of other girls with them for some variety. They're all going hiking in the woods so that they can locate the Bare Wench and still find time to take their tops off. I think we all know which is the more important mission.

I saw "Bare Wench Project 2" before seeing this one. But, funny enough, I didn't miss anything by skipping ahead as "Bare Wench Project" is the exact same movie as "Bare Wench Project 2". I mean, plot, locations, dialogue, Fritz, it's exactly the same. The only thing that has changed are the other girls who get bare.

So on that note, let me once again drool in Fritz's general direction. That is one killer, A+ body. We need to see Fritz in a horror flick. OK. How about this? Nikki Fritz - The Sexorcist. She could drive out sex demons from girls who are possessed. Yeah. And why isn't Julie Smith in more B-movies? She is in the same league as Fritz. The League of Extraordinary Babes.

So if you're looking for top notch T&A, look no further. The only thing wrong with this one is the same thing that was wrong with the "Blair Witch Project": Improvised shouting matches. I don't want to see the ladies get testy and berate each other. Be calm. Get Bare.

Intriguing movie with gorgeous girls
rbm24 June 2002
This is a B movie for sure but it is a hard one to stop watching. The camera work is very well done and the girls are super hot. There are 2 blondes and 2 brunettes. The one blonde is super hot with amazing boobs.

Bare Wench is worth watching for this girl alone. The movie is a bit of a tease as the girls flirt and kiss and rub a lot but there is never a sex scene. If you want to see lots of big bare breats then this is the film for you.

an exercise in soft core stupidity WOO HOO!!!
PIST-OFF11 January 2002
The makers of this film decided that somethings are not important in a film featuring four attractive women willing to be naked. Things such as charecter development, drama, or even that troublsome plot and dialogue. But that's OK this isn't some artsy fartsy like movie like those Farrelly Brothers always put out. No, this is soft core porn. An it's unapologetic about it's standing in celluoid history. There are no attempts to make a plot here. The Blair Witch Project was used as a plot vehicle to make this understood without having to explain what's going on. So the plot was replaced by a setting. Dialogue was replaced by moaning, acting was replaced by mammary glands, and atmosphere was never even considered. How can I bash this movie and still like it? I'm one of the male gender of the species, we're allowed to contradict all logic when faced with a naked woman. even if it's only on TV

tedious like The Blair Witch Project, except with nudity like The Erotic Witch Project. Not very original.
FieCrier13 December 2005
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.

Very disappointed in this movie
Chuckles1121 April 2001
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.

How do you make beautiful women extremely unattractive?
wappfalls528 February 2002
Now, I'm no prude or anything but there is nothing more unattractive than beautiful women with mouths that would make a mob boss blush. A well placed curse word can be very effective, but nothing screams "I trailer park trash!" more than peppering every sentence with the F word. Aren't these movies supposed to make the viewers WANT these women? If so, can't they make their personalities even REMOTELY desirable? Yes, I know they are horrible actors, but just for the 80 minutes of the movie can't they pretend to have a teeny tiny bit of class? It might make the movie more enjoyable for the viewers.

Only one reason to see 'Bare Wench:' The hot chicks!
Michael_Pilkington10 October 2000
The only reason to see this truly abysmal rip-off of "Blair Witch Project" is to see four hot chicks wander around in the woods flaunting everything they have. Julie Strain (as the Bare Wench) is hot as well. This film sucks, but at least there are some hot lesbian scenes (hotter than the scenes from "Wild Things" with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards). At least it's slightly better than Jim Wynorski's "Hard to Die" (read my review). I'd give anything to get their phone numbers. My evaluation: * out of ****.

SHUT UP ALREADY!
quietcool8613 February 2002
This movie has all the bad aspects of the Blair Witch Project, only multiplied by a thousand. These 4 women are the epitome of people that should be seen and not heard. As beautiful as they are, it is obvious that most people would not be able to stand to be in their presence for more than 1 minute at a time. Even with the MUTE button you can tell how annoying they are.
