Watch London Voodoo For Free
London Voodoo
When ambitious analyst Lincoln Mathers (played by Doug Cockle) relocates his family from New York to London, his wife Sarah (Sara Stewart) discovers a new disturbing power and becomes hostage to an ancient spirit. As Mathers notices that the family is tearing apart and that his wife's behavior becomes more violent and erratic, he accepts that to save the woman he married he must take a leap of faith. London Voodoo is one of the few films about voodoo to show the belief system in a positive light. Here, it's "work" that's evil. The film shows multicultural voodoo followers in a contemporary urban setting (London). As research for the script, the filmmakers travelled to Cuba, Miami and New Orleans to experience voodoo first hand.

Thanks for the memories!
Purely Joyful Movie!
Brilliant and touching
hello - what makes this film get any awards? Sorry, it's just that, at the very least, I'd like a movie to be believable. But right from the start this fails in the most basic ways. Firstly, the wife finds a body or bodies. Gee, the husband seems okay that the police not be called - afterall the wife reckons the bodies are 'old'. Gee, that's enough for the husband to want to let wifey keep her bodies in the cellar, and to keep her happy. Unbelievable. And then, as if this weren't enough to swallow, suddenly there's a knock on the door with a guy warning the hubbie the wifey's been possessed. Luckily I did not see it in some trendy art film festival - i would have burst out laughing.I turned this awful movie off after that - enough is enough. Clichés galore in the first few minutes.
Well, I make it short: Don't watch the German version of the movie... the people who did the dubbing should rather be doing other things in their sparetime. The whole audio part seems to be messed up... non-credible voices, and unintentional strange noises and sound.Besides that the plot seems to be very much constructed and you never really get to know the characters, everything seems to be very superficial.The only thing I liked about the movie are the significant pictures and some weird disturbing images.Sorry, that's not enough to make it a good movie. :o(
I recently stumbled across this film and decided to give it a go. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be like saying I was pleasantly surprised to find £1M in my bank account. This is a little Gem of a British Horror film. In the days of FX driven drivel and remakes this breaths life into a highly jaded genera. Having been quite disappointed by the Skeleton Key, I was sceptical about a Low Budget Voodoo film. I am so glad to be wrong.Previous comments state the acting was wooden / leaden. To me it felt real. Almsot like watching a documentary. The office scenes were so true to life it was scary.It has the feel of Rosemarys Baby with a modern twist. It did not need high budget FX, blood, gut and sex (not that there is anything wrong with that in a horror film) and indeed these would have detracted from the charm and power of the film.I would say it is one of the best British Horror films of all time.Angelfish.
I found London Voodoo an intriguing and thought-provoking film, it has many different levels it which it can be enjoyed. At one level, it is a beautifully shot piece of cinematography, with many literally stunning, jaw dropping images. It's a thriller, that keeps you engrossed in the storyline from start to finish. The film has real meaning and relevance to modern life - the loss of love between the main couple caused by the stresses and demands of the husbands job being a central part of the plot. I would have liked to see more gore in places, but maybe this would have cheapened what is a classy well shot film. Overall I enjoyed the film a lot, and would certainly like to watch it again.
