The Witch Files

A couple things about this movie.

1) It's one of those movies where it's actually a very compelling idea, and could have been really good if it was done correctly. This movie... wasn't. Halfway decent writing but acting worse than my middle school acting class. That being said....

2) I love Paget Brewster in Criminal Minds. So... how did she end up on this project? Her involvement plus the compelling idea of the script is what got me to watch, and I was pretty let down.

Okay, that was pretty bad. But all the horrible witch puns at the end drove me crazy. The movie itself is a complete mess. I'm not a fan of the found footage genre and this film is why. The constant need for a reason why they're recording really takes you out of the experience. Few movies have done it right and many more movies need to stop trying. It's a cheap framing device for poor cinematography.

The acting, script, effects, and direction is all very subpar. The only thing more absurd was the story. Not even halfway through and I had figured out almost everything. Can't even recommend this one for a free watch on a slow night.

After seeing that it starred a batch of teen age girls, I was expecting all the hollywood formula stuff. Lots of sexual content, teen girls who hated their families or who's families hate them, evil male caucasian antagonists, drug content, foul language -- the little hope kernel inside me was hoping for a movie that was focused on witchy stuff, so I started watching it, and I kept on watching it --My wife and I enjoyed it --I was a little disappointed in the ending, the last 15 minutes was pretty predictable, however I would probably rewatch it in the distant future, it is about witchy stuff after all, I dig these kind of movies.

It was honestly quite alright at first... i was somewhat intriged only cause i love witch stuff but once the cop showed up it just got stupid and low budget unnecessary effects were thrown all around the place along with bad line delivery. So yea this movie is terrible.

Don't waste your time if your looking for a good horror, this isn't it. It tries to be The Craft but isn't.
