Lucinda's Spell

Fulton looks like she was enjoying herself while shooting this movie, and that is undoubtedly due to the fact that (according to the making-of featurette on the DVD) the role of Lucinda was written especially for her. It hardly seems like work, but she really earns her money when Lucinda dresses up and assumes the identity of her customers' fantasies. I was shocked, and you will be too. Jacobs plays Jason like a punk rock star, with bleached blonde hair and a (real?) Scottish accent right out of TRAINSPOTTING. During his scenes, my finger never left the rewind button because I couldn't catch what he was saying the first time. Thank GoodnessDVDs don't wear out.

This is not really a horror movie; it's more like a black comedy that deals with Wicca/paganism and is peppered heavily with sex and sexual innuendo. Usually I can do without sex in a movie, because most of the time it's gratuitous and exploitative of women. I am very happy to report that the ladies of LUCINDA'S SPELL and the guys both appear in various stages of undress. Most aspects of this movie work; even though there are some loose ends and unanswered questions (for instance, why doesn't Jason just stay in Scotland to couple? Aren't there any witches there?), I still enjoyed it. I recommend LUCINDA'S SPELL to anyone interested in the occult and on the lookout for a movie that is fresh and different.
