The Witch Files

Don't waste your time if your looking for a good horror, this isn't it. It tries to be The Craft but isn't.

A couple things about this movie.

1) It's one of those movies where it's actually a very compelling idea, and could have been really good if it was done correctly. This movie... wasn't. Halfway decent writing but acting worse than my middle school acting class. That being said....

2) I love Paget Brewster in Criminal Minds. So... how did she end up on this project? Her involvement plus the compelling idea of the script is what got me to watch, and I was pretty let down.

It was honestly quite alright at first... i was somewhat intriged only cause i love witch stuff but once the cop showed up it just got stupid and low budget unnecessary effects were thrown all around the place along with bad line delivery. So yea this movie is terrible.

Okay, that was pretty bad. But all the horrible witch puns at the end drove me crazy. The movie itself is a complete mess. I'm not a fan of the found footage genre and this film is why. The constant need for a reason why they're recording really takes you out of the experience. Few movies have done it right and many more movies need to stop trying. It's a cheap framing device for poor cinematography.

The acting, script, effects, and direction is all very subpar. The only thing more absurd was the story. Not even halfway through and I had figured out almost everything. Can't even recommend this one for a free watch on a slow night.

The best part is the length, it was just right. Even though cheezy, the writing was fluid, and in a small way dynamic. The directing was perfect...yet the video could be distracting, all and all with the small graphic parts not bad.

This is a feel good film good taking out evil, but it had a comic sense also.
