 "Witchcraft" is a destitute man's "Rosemary's Baby". It steals the latter's story of a chaste woman giving birth to the Devil's child and somehow manages to make it all as boring as possible. There is enough wooden acting in this movie to fill a lumberyard, and the lack of any emotion or genuine interest from the cast makes for a potent sedative, though admittedly it works for the evil characters by making them seem sub-human and overtly sinister. Aside from the talentlessly creepy performances, there are no genuine scares, and the gratuities are sadly lacking (at least its unusually large number of sequels are merciful enough to throw some nudity into the frey). In fact, the most amusing moment in the entire movie is when a priest visits the devil baby, hallucinates a bit, becomes nauseous and yaks unconvincingly over the toilet. After that, the movie merely gives you the temptation to look at a clock every few minutes until the free-for-all ending where the heroine scores a victory out of sheer luck. The bottom line: Beware of "Witchcraft". Not only does it cast sleeping spells at the audience, but it sucks almost enough to rival a black hole. |

** NOTE: The more dots on the domino, the more I like it. 12 dots mean that the movie is perfection while no dots means it may actually fertilize your lawn (or kill it). ** |
