Witchouse II: Blood Coven

This is a sequel, but it has not much in common with the first movie. You can watch the movies (there are three of them alltogether)) in any order - or only one of them. Or none of them to be fair.

That being said, this is slightly better than the original. It still won't ever make it to any top horror movie list. Too little of everything (or anything) to make it - this rather breaks it (no pun intended). Quality is mixed - suspension of disbelief alone might not work either.

This movie tries to be serious and winds up being boring as hell and stupid. Not very entertaining at all. I gave this movie * star out of **** for the effort. Go rent something really scary, do not waste your money on this crap.

I really enjoyed the first Witchouse movie, but this one has something that part 1 didn't: AN actual suspenseful scene, and its better acted. I reccommend that you watch both movies and you will not be dissappointed.

I don't expect much from films of this genre. I just hope to come away with some enjoyment. I'd say that Ariauna Albright's Lilith is the main attraction. The script is wordy and sometimes borders on literary competence. Certainly some lines made me smile at the wit. Others jarred.

The introductory sequence is rather grating. Dementia is attractive but she spoils things when she speaks.

The Blair Witch references don't generally work to the film's advantage. I thought the interview collage with the town's people was embarrassing rather than funny. However the camcorder sequence in the Witch House is effective.

Lilith's cohorts are very unconvincing in their movements. The conflict scenes are under par. The acting varies from unconvincing to adequate. The film's tone lurches in various directions. However the story does keep you guessing. Some pro-Lilith adherents will be disappointed with the denouement.

Slightly tedious joint from Full Moon and Tempe during their few years together. Ariauna Albright is back as Lilith and is very good as she was in Witchouse. The film, like many of Tempe's movies, is a little raw yet this works in contrast to the clearly scripted elements of the film in scenes such as press interviews where the speech could sound more natural. A lot of the locals seem to think Lilith LeFey is a "rock chick" from Lilith Fair (have they not heard of Sarah McLauchlan!?!). Lunar edition of the DVD has a fascinating (but overlong) tour of Castel Film Romania, the studios where many Full Moon films were produced and several other interesting features. Tempe clearly love their movies to the same extent that Charles Band at Full Moon has neglected or abused his. Shame that it might be though, Tempe's passion hinders Full Moon's creativity. Loud rock score by SFB and 7 Months distracts from the story, special effects by David Barton are pretty good. Lilith rocks...perhaps she is at Lilith Fair after all!
