Listen, I was almost embarrassed to make it known that I liked this, but then I remembered that I gave 3 1/2 stars to Camp Blood so it’s not like I had any credibility to lose by admitting I enjoyed this crap, right?
And it is crap. Awful crap that I should probably disenjoy like most people surely would. But I don’t. It’s your typical low-rent “unsuspecting woman is married into to a coven and gives birth to Satan’s spawn” yarn, but it’s a pretty entertaining piece of late 80’s schlockablock. It has a fairly strong Italian horror vibe to it so that may be why I liked it as much as I did. It also has some stupid awful special…
"This has made up for everything I missed as a child" -Grace,
This is the first of sixteen Witchcraft films. SIXTEEN!
After a creepy birth scene inter-cut with witches acting crazy, a young couple moves in with the husband's mom for a week in order to get extra help with the baby. After a few days, Grace (the mom) starts getting a creepy vibe from the house...whatever could it be and what does she need to learn about her successful husband's family history?
This movie is dumb but I kept watching until the last damn second. The vast majority of the film is Grace getting hunches and walking around the world's lamest haunted house. You get to see priests getting…
From director Rob Spera, known for "Leprechaun in the Hood (2000)" and "Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp (2003)"—both of which I consider to be fairly amusing—comes the first film in a franchise of 17 (!). The last film is currently in production.
This is one of those franchises that, back when I was a teenager, already had six cheaply designed VHS boxes of "Witchcraft" product sitting in our local video store. I was aware of them, but for some reason, they didn’t tempt me into actually renting one (or all). So, should I have trusted my teenage judgment, and am I just being a masochist by pulling the plug so many years later? Or, could it turn out to be…
i watched the entire thing knowing that i had to suffer through it so i could finally watch the horny sequels. the lengths i go to in order to witness utter perversion and corruption. i guess it’s not that bad. it’s basically rosemary’s baby but boring. and there’s nothing worse than being bored.

according to The Horror of Marna Larsen this is my 1300th horror movie...
Though I'm sure that's in no way accurate as I'm probably leaving out a lot of horror that was so unremarkable, I forgot all about it.
Couldn’t really get invested here. It’s a slow, vaguely supernatural domestic thriller with horror elements. Some satanic legacy stuff, a creepy old house, dream sequences, and awkward family drama.
If I had known this thing had 16 sequels, I never would’ve started it. Now I feel like I accidentally opened a cursed VHS box and doomed myself to watch all of them. This one doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. It’s tame, cheap, and strangely flat but I can already tell this franchise is about to spiral into something wild.
When I get the courage to face the long line of additions I’ll probably have to revisit it so, subject to change.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This isn't exactly the model film for sequels into the teens. It is just a basic film about a warlock and witch burned at the stake returning as mother and son in order to dupe a nice woman named Grace into having their "very special child". Grace doesn't realize her husband, John, growing distant since they returned from the hospital with their baby to live for a bit (during Grace's "recovery") at his old family home, and his mother might not be who they appear...those weird vibes Grace gets and the eerie room with the long mirror, not to mention, the covered portrait of her husband and his "mother" have a reason behind them. Linda, as the kooky, cute friend…
Day 12, A Witchcraft movie (you have 16 wonderful titles to choose from!)

and when help comes don't give me any of that stinking tea. Linda was the best thing in this, head, thighs, the lot.
