Duas Bruxas - A Herança Diabólica

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.

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.

This film begs the question "On what day did the lord allow the filmmakers to make this movie - and couldn't he have rested on that day?"

They have a lot of audacity promoting this as some new earth shattering film in the horror genre. Maybe if this was a 10th grade high school amateur film I'd give it some merit.

The actors are horrible, the dialogue is ridiculous, the things the actors say are so dumb where you're like "Really? That's your reaction to blah blah blah?". The charactors are so obnoxious & irritating. The story is so jumbled aloong with shaky, jerky camera movements along with poor special effects.

The filmmakers & actors should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed. Movie was totally dumb & a let down considering all the hype. It's so bad at times you literally laugh out loud. Major fail.

By the way, any time a movie trailer starts off with showing about a dozen or more of those oak leaves (or whatever leaves they are) award symbols that say things like "Winner Berlin Film Fest" etc etc - you know the movie will be horrible. Same thing with all the phony quotes like "Terrifying!", "Scariest film since The Exorcist" etc. Speaking of The Exorcist; if this film was trying to be on the same level as it, Hellraiser, Halloween, The Thing etc., it failed miserably. If it was to be in the comedy/horror genre it would still be like a high school movie project.

Also, if you look up "Two Witches teaser" there is a minute and a half clip that isn't even in this movie. I watched the two "behind the scenes with the two directors/writers" and was blown away about how delusional they are thinking that they created some epic horror film and that there is more coming to the "Two Witches Universe". I will say they both seem like super nice guys but I think they are surrounded by people telling them how great the script is, the photography, the acting is - when it's not. It's like they are living on Fantasy Island.

The only reason it gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because I heard a new, cool song in it.

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!
