Watch Witchcraft For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Inexplicably producing an endless number of uncountable sequels, this is a cheaply-made and totally dull affair with direction and acting so amateurish in nature that it's extremely hard to sit through. It also happens to be a very slow-moving film, in which there are only a couple of death scenes up until the finale, which moves into Shakespearian tragedy with just about the entire cast being slaughtered in a sudden massacre.The plot, concerning a couple who move into a new home and are terrorised by witches who want to use their newborn baby in a ritual, seems to be content ripping off ROSEMARY'S BABY, but it couldn't be more different in feel to Polanski's film - mainly as it's totally lacking in atmosphere and suspense! The only supernatural special effects used are ones where our heroine sees some spooky visions in a mirror. We see transparent heads flying towards the camera, effects which look like they didn't cost anything to make. All this is accompanied by some silly over the top music which makes it very funny in an unintentional way.Along the way, lots of unexplained things happen, like our heroine seeing a vision of a woman eating a dead dog and her wrists suddenly being slashed for no apparent reason. A priest also pops up (in a role obviously modelled on Rod Steiger in THE AMITYVILLE HORROR), is subjected to facial burns, before climbing up a tree outside our heroine's house and committing suicide by jumping into a noose - it's as hilarious as it sounds. In terms of gore, the only minor instance is when a family friend is decapitated and we see her head bouncing along the floor in a cheesy way. The acting is abominable and extremely wooden, particularly in the case of Gary Sloan, who plays the stupid husband. Yet it's difficult to criticise a particular performance when all are poor. Aside from the somewhat amusing ending, this is a totally dry and pointless film, for those looking for a cure for insomnia only!

Witchcraft (1988) * 1/2 (out of 4) A mother (Anat Topol) brings her newborn son to her mother-in-law's house and sure enough the husband (Gary Sloan) and his mommy (Mary Shelley) are actually Satan worshipers wanting to make the newborn the next Antichrist. Believe it or not but WITCHCRAFT was actually a huge hit when it was released to video back in 1988 but I do wonder how many people rented this thing and could have guessed that twelve sequels would follow. Obviously, the film is just another rip-off of ROSEMARY'S BABY but we get a funny little goof in the opening credits when a title reads "Origional Screenplay by" but perhaps this error was done on purpose since the film certainly wasn't original. The film itself makes a few major mistakes in regards to a made-for-video exploitation film. The biggest is that it's pretty dull from start to finish with not much happening anywhere in the first hour. The film isn't shy about ripping off other devil-child movies so horror fans might get a few kicks out of spotting the various rips. The film really doesn't contain too much violence or blood and the real sin is that it doesn't even offer up any nudity making it quite tame all around and there's really nothing here we haven't seen much better many times before. Even those awful rip-offs from the 70s at least offered up violence, gore or nudity. The performances aren't too bad for this type of film and I'll at least give director Rob Spera credit by turning in a professional looking picture, which is something a lot of the made-for-VHS films from this era couldn't say. The film does offer up some campy moments including a priest whose face starts to mutate after entering the mother-in-law's house. Another campy moment happens with "visions" coming from a mirror, which is bound to get several laughs. Still, WITCHCRAFT doesn't have anything really going for it that separates it from the pact so there's no real need to see it.

Rosemary's Baby clone about a new mother who goes with her infant son and husband to live with her mother-in-law, but soon discovers that they are both Satan worshippers and are intent on making her baby the antichrist. Poorly done and acted horror film with no on screen action for over 2/3's of the feature and a lame ending. Rated R; Violence.

I'm surprised at all the bad reviews that i've read, cause frankly, I like this film. I know the actors aren't Oscar worthy and the plot is derivative of some films, but I find this film entertaining and the best of the series.!!!SPOILERS!!! A Woman gives birth to a boy and is taken to live with her Mother In-Law. She soon discovers that her Husband and his Mother are the ghosts of witches who want to make her baby Satan. Some suspense, o.k. story, and a decent music score. *** out of *****.
