True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreThe spirit of a witch,who was tortured and burned at the stake during 1930's haunts a house where some obnoxious teenagers live.The evil spirit is also capable of possessing their souls and turns its victims into bloodthirsty demons.Carol and her brother Ed are heading to a house they recently inherited from their parents.It's supposed to be a vacation,so they bring a bunch of friends along.It turns out that the house they are staying in was once owned by a witch who was tortured and burned at the stake a long time ago.The young daughter of the witch committed suicide shortly after that incident.Many of the women are soon possessed by an evil force causing them to sexually torment and then butcher the males one by one.Cheesy and gory Italian horror flick obviously inspired by "The Evil Dead","The Beyond" and "Night of the Demons".It also resembles US witch slasher "The Superstition".The acting is pretty bad and there is no suspense,but the killings are quite bloody for example one fatso is slaughtered with a meat-cleaver.7 out of 10.
View MoreWitch story is about a group of teenagers going out to an abandon house where one of there ancestors once lived . The group decides to fix up the house but soon realize that there is something wrong ' some of them start having nightmares and others become possessed by a supernatural force and go on a killing spree ' Someone that review'd this movie said it was a rip of of NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988) but its nothing like it . In my opinion this was a decent b grade horror movie. It is high on the gore and has some very violent deaths like a chainsaw in a swimming pool ' head slammed against a car door numerous times ' i wont give to much away but all i can say is if you like a good b grade horror movie with lots of GORE and violence then watch this one . Im not sure what this movie is called in other countries but in Australia it was released as WITCH STORY ' I rate this movie a 8/10 .
View MoreWITCH STORY is another one of those 80's horror movies where a group of college kids go off on a really bogus idea for a vacation by spending it in the creepy old haunted house one of them inherited, and where back in the 1930's a witch was tortured & burned in the front yard back while screaming "I dedicate my pain to you, Satan!" This is another one of those movies where the college kids are a representative "Ark" of humanity, with the cool guy, the fat guy, the jock guy, his WASPY slut of a girlfriend, the token African American (a she, for an added twist), a nerd, and the all round nice girl who will invariably wake up to find out It Was All Just A Nightmare at two or three or four times during the film, only to see & scream at dead bodies placed out of camera range to save on the effects budget by having her just scream.This is another one of those movies where the fat guy gets to eat himself to death and then is slaughtered like a hog, literally. This is another one of those movies where during the "getting to know you" party scene (with bizarre product placement by Kentucky Fried Chicken, Lays Potato Chips and Budweiser) the black girl introduces herself by saying "Well first off, I'm black", since being such is her only vital function within the plot. This is another one of those movies where someone replies "Gee, all this time I just thought you had a really nice tan." This is another one of those movies where demon possessed slutty babes throw their victims through car windshields, and stash functioning chain saws -- still running, apparently -- in the old swimming pool so they can surface and swing the chain saw around like Jason on bad meth. This is another one of those movies where the nerd looks a hell of a lot like the dude with the glasses from They Might Be Giants, and even sings a song with his guitar that we never saw before he starts playing it, and is never seen again afterward.This is another one of those movies where the cool guy has a flirtatiously attractive 3rd or 4th cousin meet them all at the bus station and imply inter familial fornication just standing there looking like a tramp. This is another one of those movies where the trampy Southern cousin also turns out to be interested in the occult, and carries her own tarot card & Ouija board set with her so that she can receive ominous & frightening supernatural vibes when guys are about to score with her. This is another one of those movies with not only a haunted house but a secret passageway -- with lighting effects by Tobe Hooper from POLTERGEIST -- leading to an inner sanctum of evil, where by God there actually awaits a Haunted Suitcase.On a brighter note, this is another one of those Italian horror movies that seems to have been inspired by Mario Bava's KILL BABY KILL, including a weird demonic kid with a bouncing ball, and made possible by the still inexplicable popular success of Umberto Lenzi's GHOSTHOUSE, which would make an excellent double bill if you have enough beer. This is another one of those mid-later 1980's Italian made horror films that has the visual flair of a Fulci or Lamberto Bava, but more low key and reminiscent of an off-Broadway production of a 3rd rate play starring a bunch of nobodies. This is another one of those movies that has gore, nudity, bad trip lighting effects, an ominous priest gone bad and apparently a kitchen staff. This is another one of those movies that is well made and enjoyable, though about as awful as they come at the same time: A party movie.But this is also another one of those movies that you'll have a hard time tracking down because of soundtrack rights to the movie's abusively awful late 1980's rock score, always a dumb idea, and does indeed end with a scene that commences with a title card reading "October 31th", further indication that the folks who made this epic were not the brightest bulbs in the lighthouse but knew how to have a good time, which may be more important. And as such, this is another one of those movies that if you DO manage to score a prior rental tape, DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU HAVE IT!! or certain people will never let you alone until you let them see it, which is a more frightening prospect than anything depicted in the movie itself. Trust me.4/10
View MoreWitch Story is the chilling and frightning story of a mother's revenge and a girl who *loves* to play....Sorry to disappoint, but the above statement is false.Witch Story is crap. Wow, what a bad movie. It is not even on a "so bad it's good" level. It's just bad. Avoid it for the sake of your sanity.Who exactly was the idiot who created the title near the end of the movie that reads, "October 31th"?
