Reviews
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
HumanoidOfFlesh The spirit of a witch,who was tortured and burned at the stake during 1930's haunts a house where some obnoxious teenagers live.The evil spirit is also capable of possessing their souls and turns its victims into bloodthirsty demons.Carol and her brother Ed are heading to a house they recently inherited from their parents.It's supposed to be a vacation,so they bring a bunch of friends along.It turns out that the house they are staying in was once owned by a witch who was tortured and burned at the stake a long time ago.The young daughter of the witch committed suicide shortly after that incident.Many of the women are soon possessed by an evil force causing them to sexually torment and then butcher the males one by one.Cheesy and gory Italian horror flick obviously inspired by "The Evil Dead","The Beyond" and "Night of the Demons".It also resembles US witch slasher "The Superstition".The acting is pretty bad and there is no suspense,but the killings are quite bloody for example one fatso is slaughtered with a meat-cleaver.7 out of 10.
horror85 Witch story is about a group of teenagers going out to an abandon house where one of there ancestors once lived . The group decides to fix up the house but soon realize that there is something wrong ' some of them start having nightmares and others become possessed by a supernatural force and go on a killing spree ' Someone that review'd this movie said it was a rip of of NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988) but its nothing like it . In my opinion this was a decent b grade horror movie. It is high on the gore and has some very violent deaths like a chainsaw in a swimming pool ' head slammed against a car door numerous times ' i wont give to much away but all i can say is if you like a good b grade horror movie with lots of GORE and violence then watch this one . Im not sure what this movie is called in other countries but in Australia it was released as WITCH STORY ' I rate this movie a 8/10 .
lost-in-limbo Here we go again. The epilogue begins in the past with an accused witch being tortured and burned alive by the locals, and before it happens she curses the townsfolk. Now moving to the present a group of college kids (the descendants of the townsfolk) decide to take their holidays at a rundown mansion, which the witch had occupied. Not knowing anything about the house's past. Soon enough strange things begin to happen, and a young girl in a white gown suddenly appears with something to do with the witch's revenge.Uninspired, but ludicrously cheesy and gruesome low-budget Italian horror schlock none the same. Obviously it has been influenced by such prominent 80s efforts like 'The Evil Dead (1981)', 'Demons (1985)' and 'Night of the Demons (1988)'. The supernatural elements are hysterically merged with demonic possession, haunted house happenings and slasher traits. It's quite a delusional mixture that writer / director Alessandro Capone lays on thick. Material-wise it doesn't make sense, and is downright uneven. Where they do stretch out a number of endings. The insane nature works in its favour though, because there's no atmosphere and the jolts are telegraphed. The violence is brutally tacky with constant use of tomato sauce leaving some hard to clean stains and with college kids abound… the hot topic of sex and don't forget the booze. Good times… well until the slaughter begins. One scene involving a half dressed girl, swimming pool and a swinging chainsaw was a seductive blast! The performances are forgettably bland from the young cast (with Michelle Vanucchi as a likable heroine), but they do serve their purposes with their clichéd characters. It's a clear-cut stereotypical bunch too. Production is cheap, and make-up effects go on to cement it, but it's sharply photographed with effectively lit visuals.
Warlock-5 Witch Story is the chilling and frightning story of a mother's revenge and a girl who *loves* to play....Sorry to disappoint, but the above statement is false.Witch Story is crap. Wow, what a bad movie. It is not even on a "so bad it's good" level. It's just bad. Avoid it for the sake of your sanity.Who exactly was the idiot who created the title near the end of the movie that reads, "October 31th"?
