was Erica the witch all the time?
was she playing with the teenagers disguised as a teenager herself?
shareNice job putting a major spoiler in the subject heading.
shareThe only spoiler is if you actually watched the whole thing.

I think she was. The sinister look she had as she lured them in to play the game again, it just looked to me as if she was getting what she wanted all over.
Me and my boyfriend are arguing about it because he says the guy with no legs would have warned them about the girl being a witch when he tells them about the game and how he got his legs back. I say the guy didn't give a rat's behind and just wanted his legs back. As for the guy telling them if the girl was a witch or not, he probably knew better than to rat out a witch. I sure wouldn't, especially if she just gave me my legs back!

She could've been.
Or since Erica was the last one to die, the witch took her form.

Erica was never a witch. The dragonfly/demon took her form. Oh boy, did it ever take her form!
shareNo, it just possessed her dead body.
The witch either needed some vessel in order to come to the real world, or she thought it would be funny for the main guy to see his love interest in such a morbid way.
In the do-over she seemed to know what was going on. Maybe she plays the game to make sure the box moves on to another group. She is probably collecting souls.
I think Erica was the witch.There were many clues leading to the fact that she was, like her first card that said the witch gets a second chance.She kept getting cards about being a witch like about being set out to sea and being able to float back to shore.All of her cards were about being a witch.

I tend to think she was the witch.
1) She made a number of offhand statements -- e.g., "Sometimes I fly" -- that seemed innocent but were suspicious in context.
2) When the two guys go in to confront the (no-longer) legless seller, her expression shifted once they were out of sight, becoming calm and sinister.
3) The detective's record search, when he was trying to find them, produced no records for her at all, like she didn't exist.
4) Of course, she also had quite the occult collection.
5) She seemed to guide events. She steered everyone toward noticing the connections between the deaths and cards, apparently to induce them to keep playing to get the wish.
6) We don't see her die, just go out to the ocean.
I believe she is the witch, she plays every time the board is used to help it get to the end, she is always the last one to "die", and disappears beforehand.
Of course, it was all done slick enough that she might not be -- just coincidence and the witch employing her body at the end, as she was the last victim. Who knows? Just what I think.
she definately was the witch - that is what made the movie so morbid and creepy - I was duped into thinking there was going to be this happy ending with the two of them having defeated the witch hag - intead she was the hag herself - excellent movie.
shareTrue.
And for me there is one explanation to the ending (all characters playing the game again). Jason didn't just use the wrong words. Erica made him make a mistake. She told him to use the right words. She tricked him into making a HUGE statement/wish. What he did wrong was... going her way.
What did he wished for?
Go back in time. Never play the game, and so on.
ANd there is the problem. He was granted ONE wish. Wishing to go back in time was THE wish. Everything else should be treated as the wish #2, wish #3.
So the Witch actually granted his wish. She made him go back in time. And that was fair.
