Coven

This movie is so sapphic, yet cheap, that you'd think it was written by Sappho herself as interpreted by Roger Corman. Yes, the leads are hot, and they have *gasp* boobies - with those boobies being highlighted/displayed enough to keep Corman himself happy, but they couldn't frickin' act their way out of a wet paper bag.

That being said, it's also written really badly. Neither the story nor the dialogue work at all, and it probably wouldn't even pass muster in a CW show. Not even Riverdale. I'm only halfway through as I'm typing this and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm doing other stuff, I'd have turned this off about 30 minutes ago.

Still watching it and OMG this was an actual dialogue exchange: A: "She killed another girl and you still brought me to her?" (referencing a scene early in the movie where the antagonist literally stabbed someone to death) B: "I thought it was an accident!" What the actual...?

Welp, it just ended and yeah, it's as bad as I thought.

It only got 2 stars because of the boobies. If they weren't there, it'd be a zero. What can I say? I'm easily distracted!

What this is, is a supernatural fantasy with softcore porn mixed in. And it sucks. I have no idea of to whom is this made for? Teenage boys in the 90's before internet? Obviously this is a rip off of an another supernatural fantasy movie made for teen boys way back and way better. There is no reason for anybody to watch this horrible movie. It is very bad and would of been bad even in the early 90's when it at least would of filled some purpose for the teen boys.

Sounds are bad, acting is bad, special effects are bad, casting is bad (the teachers seem younger then the students) and the story is bad.

Ok, this is one of those teeny-bopper horror movies where everyone is pretty (including the guys). Wait, there is one dumb sexist hillbilly who the witches have to put in his place. Big surprise. Coven doesn't even pretend to be a ripoff of another famous young girl coven movie, it says so right on the cover!

Ok, you've got you're two catty lesbian witches that are always threatening to kiss, but never do, there's the real goofy witch, the peacenik witch, and the "new" witch who just wants to see her mother again. An accidental(?) sacrifice, a newfound "key" witch, whose most prevalent power seems to be the opening and closing of doors, and several various ceremonies later, the girls manage to summon the spirit of Ashura, who is supposed to bring great power to the coven. Only she just wants to kill everyone else, and funnily enough, make catty remarks. How old was this witch?

As you can see, not much of a story here. Could not for the life of me figure out why the non-possessed catty lesbian witch was arrested at the end. For being a bystander? For getting hit in the face with a lug nut wrench? For a bad attitude? What could they charge her with? They're going to explain a satanic ritual, an unholy battle, and a possession... to the police? Yeah, book this chick! Made zero sense.

From choice of filter, cameras, angles and editing, to the acting, setting and story. It's so bad that my cringe reaction was delayed out of pure disbelief.

What does the craft have a monopoly on a movie bout girl witches? Oh brother, gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece the whining little comment bar. We are 100yrs into movies being made. I still want witch movies made, vampire movies made, werewolf, slasher and ghosts. I love all genres but am big horror guy. Sry but I'm not naive enough to think anything new coming out isn't gonna have a little bit of that been there seen that feel. Doesn't mean it's exactly the same & the actors are different and characters are different so even if they were exactly the same plots and storyline, guess what, different people would be experiencing it cuz it's new characters. And we smart enough to know that even if something seems similar, there's differences if you open your eyes!!!! So tired of peeps saying rip off, or well that was original hahaha. Get outta here with that expectation after millions of movies have literally been made. Seriously I swear I don't know what some people expect. I see all these ones handed out on horror movies I've seen and tho Peeps don't Have to agree with my rating there really are those movies you know werent bad but we're far from good. They were just meh and most peeps give it that -3-6 range but u always have to have clowns who wanna hand ones out like sat down & expected best picture & best actor & best score and best cinematography and best supporting Actress and all that & the movie will actually be a Low budget thriller lmao. Be more realistic on what to expect in regards to what your watching & rate accordingly. Baffles me that people rate movies without scaling them in terms of genre & time period. For instance I'll rate 1960s Horror movies Comparing them to each other and 1980s comedies with other movies of the time period and genre. So for a movie around this time period considering it's horror and not up for an Oscar This movie was just ok. If you like the show the secret circle or movies like the CRAFT, the covenant, little witches(lowEr budget But wasn't terrible & just meh) you'll enjoy this I'm sure.
