Where do I even start? I don't know where the alleged $100,000 budget was spent, but it obviously wasn't on the actual production of this web series (perhaps on internet marketing sites to beef up the show's "popularity").
From the incomprehensible storyline and poor writing, to the amateurish direction, 13 Witches is a train wreck from start to finish. I lost count of the number of times the camera crossed the axis, and how randomly each shot seemed to be composed.
What few competent actors seemed to be involved (and there were VERY FEW) were completely hampered by a terrible script, that I doubt even they could decipher. Seriously, I watched all 18 episodes, and I have NO idea what was going on. It got more unintelligible with each instalment.
Costume design and art direction were sadly lacking as well. You can have strong, empowered, sexy women without dressing them all like Hookers. For me, the costumes actually detracted from the supposed strength and power of the female characters. And if Nemsis lived in a grand castle, why did it look so much like a bunch of random apartments? Most of the above could be somewhat forgiven as an amateur web series if the sound wasn't so bad. Half of the time I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying, because their voices were too low, and often drowned out by background noise. Maybe next time spend a little of that $100,000 on proper sound equipment instead of internet bots to boost your ratings.
And if you're going to name your characters after Goddesses, maybe try and get it right - it's Persephone, not Persephore.
In closing, there's not much in the way of redeeming content when it comes to 13 Witches. It's written like porn, shot like porn, acted like porn, but lacks the payoff of getting to see anybody naked. So unless you want a lesson in how NOT to make a web series, I'd skip this all together, and seek out some of the more worthy content out there, because 13 Witches is just plain awful from start to finish.
