Two Witches

Now, the concept idea of "Two Witches" definitely sounded interesting from the movie's synopsis, and a movie with witchcraft is usually always something fun to watch. And as such, I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 horror movie "Two Witches" from writers Kristina Klebe, Maxime Rancon and Pierre Tsigaridis without actually having heard of the movie prior to watching it.

The storyline was somewhat of a chaotic heap for me. I didn't enjoy being constantly bombarded with random footage that was supposed to be something like impressions or visions? It was just distracting and grew tiring really fast. So director Pierre Tsigaridis's 2021 movie "Two Witches" was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me.

I gave up on watching the movie, because the way that the movie was constructed and presented didn't appeal to my particular preference and taste in movies and entertainment. So the fact that the storyline had some appeal just fell to the ground. And I have zero interest in returning to finish watching "Two Witches".

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in this movie, and despite of me not enjoying the movie in general, I will say that the actors and actresses were doing fair enough jobs. It wasn't their fault that the writing was inadequate and that the director was all over the place.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Two Witches", I just happened not to be in that particular target audience. I am not sure how true the movie was to actual witchcraft.

My rating of "Two Witches" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, given the production value of the movie.

Okay, so the writing and acting are absolutely terrible, and the look is very low budget, as is the sound mixing/dialogue. There are some silly parts/facial expressions that made me laugh (reminded me of Drag Me To Hell.) But most importantly, I wasn't bored. It really kept me engaged. I find a lot of horror movies to be incredibly boring, so I'm happy when I watch a film like this. Has some good jump scares, and it was actually pretty scary! I would definitely watch it again.

I thought this movie was being released later this year (2022) and was pleasantly surprised to find it on Prime already.

I can't think of a better way to kick off the spooky season. This movie is so dark and good that it left me speechless. TWO WITCHES feels like an homage to Italian Horror. It feels like a Mario Bava picture, with brutality comparable to the works of Lucio Fulci. The acting is great, the score is terrific and the amount of blood and guts quenched my thirst for violence.

It's a well crafted movie about (you guessed it) two evil witches that torment a group of innocent people. No one is safe, and the movie doesn't hold back in terms of shock value. It's the spookiest movie I've watched this year, and I think that you will enjoy it.

... and not every friend on the set of this picture should have been invited to the party, but there are some very effective moments - some scary, some creepy, some gory. Both lead actresses are appealing enough to carry along the rest of the amateur cast (obvious "May" vibes aside). Watched this on Halloween and definitely felt seasonally satisfied. To top it all off, the film sets up its own franchise universe. In short, this film delivers everything you'd expect from a studio film - and it didn't waste a ton of money just to disappoint like a lot of blumhouse productions of late.

Bring it on my witches - i'm ready for your next chapter!

There's a lot to like with this film. There's some great cinematography, some genuinely scary moments and performances (I'm of course talking primarily about Rebekah Kennedy in Chapter II). Props to the practical effects and the CGI too because it works well, considering the budget likely being quite low.

It's not quite an anthology, but split up into halves, plus an epilogue. Which is not wholly unique but also not utilized often. This style mostly works, even if it feels slightly disjointed.

It isn't a perfect film however. It overstays its welcome by a little - I think because it is almost like two separate films, the length feels longer than it actually is. Then there is the frenetic editing reminiscent of early Saw films in a few scenes.

Overall I'd recommend this movie for genre fans. It's a very watchable indie horror effort. I would definitely watch a sequel, which the ending alludes to.
