Witch Academy

If you are looking for intellectual stimulation from a film, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a movie that is plain FUN, look no further. Witch's Academy is a wicked romp with bountiful babes, inspired slapstick, and an exaggerated script that would fit in well with Li'l Annie Fannie strips published in Playboy during the 60s and 70s.

A notorious sorority known for S&M and Bondage (the "witch" connection is never established), is compelled to humiliate a new pledge who is honest and faithful (and a dweeb). Unknown to the sisters, The Devil has plans for her and her evil compatriots. Much of the fun is seeing each of the leads in various enticing outfits and in various stages of dress and undress (a HEAVILY edited version was shown on USA). The presence of cult icon Robert Vaughn is an asset, and shows that he has the gift of comedic timing. If you have not seen the Retromedia DVD, you have NOT really seen this film. There are worthwhile extras on the DVD...but the "Stills" section features several shots of another cult icon, cinematographer/director Gary Graver, whose name appears nowhere on the credits?!

Fred is a master of supplying the most on a limited budget. He has his roots in fandom, and knows what his audience wants.

This film is, without a doubt, the worst film in the history of the universe. Stay away from it, unless you want to be bored to the brink of death, and possible insanity.

How it is that someone could actually approve this script, shoot the film, edit it and then still have the audacity to think that anyone would actually enjoy it is really far beyond my own capacity to comprehend.

The only films that can come quite close to reaching the awful depths that this film managed to plow are The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D and The Rollerblade Seven.

I came back to write this review some ten years after watching this flick, because I noticed that it is one of the less known movies I keep coming back to. I've repeatedly shown it to many of my friends and enjoyed it every time when I sit down and watch it with them.

This is a really stupid movie, but it is also both genuinely funny, and one which seems like the kind of production in which the people making it really had fun too. The enjoyment is contagious, and I can't help but to feel happy while watching it.

Granted, you have to like B movies to like this one, but I dare you to give it a honest chance.

If you value your time like most of is do then save yourself the trouble! There are way too many other better films with quality performers and better screenwriters to watch this garbage! The cast was poorly chosen as well! One actor in particular is, Ruth Collins, she seems to play a lot of the same roles of that "dumb blonde" character role in most all of her films! Even though she doesn't have many credits to her name she came and went out of the acting business as quickly as she came in! Probably a good thing for all of us! A talented actor would have stayed much longer, but hey, let's face it, she didn't have what it takes to stay as a professional actress, producer or director as she lists in her profile! What a sad shame her film credits are all of the same type of film and not of any quality! All the film ratings reflect as much.

Definitely not the worst film ever, unless you're new to movies, but very, very bad. The acting, script, direction, even the costume department should all be rightfully criticised. What makes it even worse is that it has some well known actors including Priscilla Barnes and Robert Vaughn. Avoid at almost all cost.
