Black Magic Woman

Brad (Mark Hamill), a womanizing art gallery director, is cursed with hoodoo after he has an affair with a beautiful woman (Apollonia Kotero). Brad's girlfriend (Amanda Wyss) is both clueless and helpless to save her developmentally-arrested boyfriend.

BLACK MAGIC WOMAN has few real thrills, but is still fun to watch, especially when we see Luke Skywalker being worked on by a hoodoo exorcist! His grimaces as he writhes on the carpet are epic entertainment!

In addition, there are blood-filled eggs and a housekeeper in the fridge! Yes, there's a big, dark twist at the end, but it's too late to stop the laughter...

I agree with most of the above comments, I thought the brief scenes with Bonnie Ebsen were the hottest of the movie, It seemed like the had some chemistry together. I was well paced and the ending did surprise me, I must wonder what became of the director, if she moved on to do other things for the production company? I don't know. I liked that the film seemed to be colorized a bit dark. All in all a fair outing for a largely unknown cast and crew, with Hamill as the exception of course. I think the lead actress was part of Princes band, or back ground singers, that included Vanity, I have not seen either of them in anything since, that I am aware of. Bonnie Ebsen was in an NBC sit com, a few years before this movie.

This movie defines the term "camp value". Not much to it, your typical wronged woman wants to wreak havek story. Only in this movie, we get it supernatural style. Great special effects and alot of pure camp-but that does not a good movie make.

It looked like the makers and the cast had a good time with this one. But there really isn't much here to make the movie a really good one. The story is as old as they come, the only difference is it's got the added bonus of the "alex character" possessing powers. It maybe worth checking out for the campiness but there isn't anything else to it to make it good.

The problem is the campiness of the special effects and unoriginality of the story drain you after awhile and there's no added bonueses worth setting this movie apart from a million other movies in the "stalker genre". I'd rate this 4 of 10.Great title though!

Very low budgeted Fatal Attraction rip off given a black magic twist finds Mark "Star Wars" Hamill sharing a one night stand with Apollonia while very happily involved and engaged to Amanda Wyss. After he breaks it off with Apollonia he finds himself falling victim to voodoo curses and snakes and other assorted nonsense. The three talented leads look extremely bored with the material. You will be bored. The so called surprise ending you can see coming from afar. Only for people who want to see Hamill engaged in sex scenes or in his underwear or those who want to see Apollonia nude.

Rated R; Violence, Nudity, and Sexual Situations.

Black Magic Woman is a thriller in the vein of Fatal Attraction ala Tales from the Crypt. Mark Hamill (Star Wars, Corvette Summer) stars as Brad. Brad runs a successful art gallery with his girlfriend Diane, played by Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Better off Dead).

One evening during an art show, a mysterious woman appears at the gallery and catches Brian's eye. Cassandra, Apollonia (Purple Rain), flirts with Brad a bit and makes Diane jealous. Brad and Diane have a client in New York who's interested in possibly negotiating a deal to buy some art. Diane goes to New York to meet with the client while Brad stays behind and has a steamy encounter with Cassandra.

Cassandra comes into the gallery after Diane returns from her trip, and has a jealous outburst. All of the sudden it seems that someone has put a curse on Brad and people around him are starting to die, making Brd appear to be the main suspect. Could a jealous lover be responsible?
