Coven of Evil

Alright, well I sat down to watch the 2018 movie "Coven of Evil" solely because it was listed as being a horror movie. Well, and also because the movie's cover was sort of alluring.

Granted, I hadn't even heard about this movie from writer and director Matthew J. Lawrence prior to getting to watch it in 2020. So I had no real expectations for the movie, for better or worse.

Well, it turns out that "Coven of Evil" was boring, so very, very boring. Yet, I managed to sit through the entire movie. Sure, I wasn't entertained, and I hardly cared about what happened on the screen, but I was hoping that the movie would pick up, change its pacing and direction and become better. That just never happened.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually adequate, taking into consideration the severe limitations imposed on the actors and actresses from a lack of proper script, plot and storyline.

Very precious little of any interest actually transpired on the screen from the moment the movie started to the end. It was off to an interesting start though, but then it just fell to pieces when the coven itself was brought into the picture.

I am rating "Coven of Evil" a mere two out of ten stars. This movie was hardly worth the time, money or effort. And it is definitely not a movie that I will be sitting down to watch for a second time.

The High Priestess of the Coven , 'Evie' portrayed by Sexy & Lovely Samantha Moorhouse , Invites a Fledgling Columnist 'Joe' played superbly by John Thacker , to Her Farm to OverSee the Coven & its Rituals . Once there the Trouble & Trials Begin & Progress . The Coven Consists of Craig R. Mellor as 'Zandor' , Evie's Husband & the High Priest , Micky Satiar as 'Raymond' , Jacob Kain Prescott as 'Wes' , Tracy Gabbitas as 'Kissi' , & Outstandingly Beautiful & Shapely Laura Ellen Wilson as the Seductress 'Talia' ; & each & every one of them handles their Roles with Skillful Precision ! There just may be a Love Affair abrewin' between Joe & Evie's Sister 'Alice' , played by the Charming & Appealing Laura Peterson , who's Not a Member of the Coven , but subsists a dreadful & dreary existence . The Scene from the Past Exhibits Vicki Glover as the 'High Priestess' , Graham Parrington as the 'High Priest' ; & Comely Alannah Marie as the 'Girl Sacrifice' . Excellent Acting , an Original Story , Intricate SubPlots , & Great Direction by Matthew J. Lawrence makes " COVEN OF EVIL " a Must-See for All Lovers of Horror ! Devil Worship to the Ultimate Master is Always a Tricky Situation ; & This Ferociously Frightening Film leaves a Lasting Impression !

Don't let the other negative comments fool you, this popped on my amazon and turned out to be decent flick. Yes, it is not a big budget high-fi Hollywood horror, however the movie has a decent story line, it does offer some creepy moments, in terms of editing, It could have been shorter at some places. The mystery element is presented well, it kinda reminded me of the wicker man. The acting and special effects are OK. Overall a decent mystery thriller that might be too much for some people.

Is this the worst movie ever made? Maybe, maybe not. Wooden acting, terrible plot, absolute garbage! Ps "All hail Satani"!

As the filmmaker of this film, I want to point out a misconception that seems to be causing great offence to some people:

The villains in this film are NOT a Wiccan coven. They are satanists pretending to be a Wiccan coven.

I thought that this was made very clear in the film, but quite a few people seem to have missed this so I wanted to clear things up.

I set out to make a simple horror film about a young guy trying to save a women from some bad people. I didn't intend to cause any offence.
