I saw the BWP on it's cinema release, it certainly had a special atmosphere, loads of kids sitting in front of me were smoking skunk!
I've enjoyed it more on repeat viewings whenever it is on telly. In parts it is very effective, the scene with all the fetishes hanging from the trees was great, as were the final 15 minutes or so. One grip, in the final scene when you see magic symbols painted on a wall, it's just a magical alphabet copied from a book and basically reads in translation, a b c d e f...z, pretty lazy stuff.
The squeal had me standing in the corner praying the witch would get me.
