You won't be disappointed!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Well, what to say about this movie.They had this hot Chinese warrior babe on the cover, so I thought she was going to be a major character, but she doesn't show up until about a third of the way through, there are stretches when they forget her character is in the story like they shoe-horned her in to make the Chinese investors happy or something, and apparently they dubbed her voice. Then she dies in a cheap CGI sequence.Saddest thing. Sarah Douglas as the Red Queen. I remember when Sarah used to be hot, like in Superman II. Now she looks old and horrid.So this village in the middle ages is attacked by witches and really bad quality CGI. And after mind numbingly pointless action scenes, we finally get to the supposed climax of the movie, if you still cared, and at that point, I kind of didn't.

I thought I'd watch Witchville as it did seem interesting as a fantasy film. I would give it 3 stars out of 10. I thought the direction in the movie was lacking and the cinematography was poor. I don't recall seeing any scenes that were shot in a memorable manner. I will admit that the sets were built well and the costumes were decent. The story had promise. A kingdom cursed by witches and a king and his followers trying to set it free. I thought the lead character and most of the other characters were weak actors. In some cases, the weak acting might have been due to poor direction. However, not all of it can be blamed on poor direction. The lead character, the king, lacked screen presence. Often, he delivered lines with a lack of emphasis and his facial expressions didn't always reinforce what he was saying. His character could have expressed a more interesting arc through the film but failed to do so. I felt his 2 friends and the magician delivered better performances than he did. And this in a way is unfortunate as the king gets the most screen time in the film. His sister, the daughter of the Red Queen also delivered a mediocre, unconvincing performance. There were some key scenes where she failed to convince me of the inner turmoil she was experiencing in her decision making. The lead Asian fighter was also not convincing. There were a couple of times where she seemed to be smirking and come to think of it, so would I watching the lame performances that were occurring. The Red Queen herself delivered a good performance and did her best to overcome weak direction. There were key scenes that were botched up such as when the king decides to kill the Red Queen. It dragged on for a while and it demonstrated a lack of direction and proper editing. Finally, at the end of the movie, there is a burial ceremony for the king's friend that takes place. I wondered why there was no burial ceremony for the magician who sacrificed his life as well for the kingdom. At the very end, there is a cheesy scene showing a couple of the witches watching the burial ceremony. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from this scene. I certainly didn't spook me or fascinate me and I thought it was rather absurd. I would give the movie 3/10 and not recommend others to watch it.

To begin with, this is a TV movie, therefore you should not have a high expectation about it. However, given that fact, I have seen a low budget action movie which is way better than this one. The actions were very bad; there were some sword fight, but when you look at them, it is exactly the actions that were comparable to a play, not a movie. There were a lot of awkward moment where you can actually see that the actors were waiting for the hit to come slowly..... and then try to deflect them. And of course the details were terrible. The minaret for whatever reason was topped with a cross ? Normally; in this kind of movies, books are made of animal skins, but on this one, it is cheaper to use paper... All in all, my suggestion is not to waste your time on this one. I've given a 2 vote for the effort of the actors, despite a very bad direction they still do reasonably well....

I wasn't hoping for much but I got even less than that! This 'movie' was not only bad - devoid of any real plot, wit, or meaningful context; lousy special effects; terrible acting; and laughable direction - it was also a throwback to the most simplistic and misogynist view of magic and witches I have seen in ages. At first I thought they were depicting those views in order to turn them on their head but no- that really was the lens of this movie on the world of magic and female power versus civilization. Even the campy stuff wasn't fun because it seemed not to have any sense of humour about itself and how really really bad it was. If you like to watch things that are really really bad in order to laugh at how bad they are, you might find this a treat of some sort. It really is that bad. Did i mention it is bad?
