Bad Witch

Silly name aside, the concept was semi okay. Production values were decent and the first 20 minutes proved worthy of my attention. Slowly but surely, though, it went down hill eventuating in a truly ridiculous ending.

Not only is this a crap movie, but the plot is nothing original. The cast is, at best mediocre. Poor script, poor acting, and, worse, whoever wrote this steaming pile is barely literate. Errors in grammar abound. Even if the story line were to be better there's still no redeeming quality to this film. A high school student with a working brain could easily write a better script. The festering boils on one guy's face was a nice touch of unreality...unless he's a meth addicted scumbag that spends too much time at a mirror picking at his face, which is realistic behavior for that type of person.

The actors seem to be struggling with their lines, which are simplistic to say the least, so a decent actor could give a much better performance than these hacks. I kept watching just to see if it was going to get better. Alas, no go on that score. Only if you're so bored with nothing else to watch could anyone watch it through to the end.

Sadly, Amazon prime seems to be struggling to find any decent programming nowadays. I used to stream it almost exclusively, but now I'm leaning toward Netflix more and more.

Not a good film but hey it's the Covid era and we take what we can get. The acting is pretty awful ("crazy big scarywide-eyes" awful), the sound design is surprisingly decent and the writing is freaking hilarious (unintentionally).

My main reason for writing this after seeing the film: BAD WITCH's producers & writers should have done a bit of Google-ing/Bing-ing/Yahoo-ing/DuckDuckGo-ing for about, oh, 2 minutes and they would have realized there is NO SUCH THING AS A MALE WITCH.

The proper term should have been Bad Warlock, but hey it's the Covid and the internet machines are hard to come by.

Thanks for reading - Please remember to Google before producing.

As I write, this movie has a 3.7 rating, which is way too low. Sure, it's got a next to nothing budget which shows from time to time. It's not particularly original story-wise. But it's got something that's rarely seen in the comedy/horror genre: It's got heart.

...by that I mean it's obviously low budget, but I still really dug this movie and so did my girlfriend. There are some neat and icky parts which enticed me. AGain, don't expect it to be a damn blockbuster type but expect a fun time if you can look pass it being indie.
