Witchcraft VI

Although it pretends to be a horror film, this is really soft core porn at its sleaziest. The good thing is, it's pretty funny at times, and the tongue and cheek style makes an otherwise run of the mill horror pic watchable. Hustler centerfold Stefania Swinney is drop dead gorgeous as the innocent victim at the beginning of the film.

This film was made as its company Academy Pictures was about to close for good. Film deals with the devil trying to find a wife via two evil devil worshipping people. Not much horror to this tale as most of the cast spends most of the films running time out of their clothes and getting it on. The absolute worst of an already terrible series of films. 1 out of 10.

So why 10 out of 10? Mainly to counteract the "Academy". The Academy believes that no film which does not deal directly with some left-wing (gay anything!) societal issue, have a completely depressing ending, or at the very least involve unattractive actors mumbling philosophical nonsense to each other in Swedish or French has any right to be seen. Not so! Klaus Kinski in Herzog's "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" is tedious enough to make me want to peel off my own flesh. Stephanie Swinney in "Witchcraft 6", on the other hand, leads me to believe that some flesh just needs to be appreciated. It should be remembered that in its beginnings cinema never aspired to the status of art. It was entertainment pure and simple. That some film has indeed achieved the status of art is both inarguable and laudable, but it would be unwise to denigrate that which aims to merely titillate or entertain.

I enjoyed this film, sure it's not the best occult film out there, hell, it isn't even a very good occult film, but it does work as a good softcore flick in that it delivers the goods (i.e. ample female nudity) and doesn't mess around with taking itself too seriously. Something that is good to find in these sorts of films, all too often, I try to rent some video, hoping to see gratuitious skin and instead am stuck watching some horrible attempt at "suspense," and left with little to no actual skin, ugh. I was rather relieved to catch an amusing flick with healthy doses of nudity. I also liked the stupid cop scenes because, well, I think cops eating donuts are funny. Check it out if you're a fan of the series or an Andy Sidaris fan. I give it 8/10 stars!

Not as bad as your lead to believe. This is a very long series of movies so not everyone is going to be a hit out of the park. But you should at least give it a chance and you should not go into this expecting anything more than a B-movie because that's exactly what you're going to get. Still decent either way.
