With "Blair Witch" documentary style film capture, "The Night Marchers" (Cousins Brothers Productions) delivers tons of remote Big Island scenery and crafty special effects, laced with some hilarious pidgin dialog. Yet, on a serious note, the undertone of the story is based on some really heavy-duty chicken-skin legend. Watch out "haole" film boy, the night marchers are out there - as the mantra through the movie is "some legends are best left alone."

Yet despite the familiar bump-in-the-night antics and sometimes difficult to follow quick cuts between the black & white video and color, this film was hard to leave alone. It holds the viewer entranced wondering "will anyone get out of that valley alive?" There were even some honorable performances from local cast like the Antonio twins - Kevin & Kelvin - who played the somewhat guerrilla Hawaiian guides. Additional bonus features included unreleased scenes, theatrical trailers, and a preview of the upcoming sequel which actually got me really excited with anticipation for the rest of the story...
