7 Witches

If you're wondering where you were going to get your next 'horror' fix with just enough LGBT inserted into the storyline to make it more contemporary, look no further, 7 Witches has got you covered. Provided that little nuances such as good acting and competent direction AREN'T in that same search, you should still be on the right track with this film.

Now don't let that very minimal subplot get in the way of your attempt to enjoy this. There's no sjw grandstanding, socio-political message, or even mildly gratuitous girl-girl action going on. If I had to guess, I'd say the only reason it exists at all is to more easily propel the story and have some minimally 'erotic' scenes of women kissing, to clip for the previews in the theaters.

There are actually several positives here. The story in and of itself is one that seems somewhat original (baring other 'family' flicks of similar genres) and the cinematography is more than pleasant, going so far as to be called "well done". We have capable camera work, as well as lighting and a script that by all standards of "independent", "art-house" or even major released films, should be at the least moderately passable.

The main problem with this witch's kettle is in the execution.

For all the stirring we get in this cauldron of suspense the final result is barely a sleeping potion. The most obvious 'ingredient' mistakenly substituted in this b grade brew of bedlam being bad actors instead of good ones. It is quite clearly the single glaring flaw in the entirety of the production and one that continuously bubbles over from the first delivered line to the very last scene.

View it for the many merits it does possess, but use the broom for sweeping (under the rug) because the 'magic' it needs to make this film fly won't be found here.

I quite enjoyed the movie, the acting was quite alright. But the plot was very bad

Hubby and I (both horror fans) are watching 7 Witches now. About the only highlights - on a comical level - are the multiple "scary food scenes." As hubby cackled before escaping to the kitchen to make dinner: you can't spell Cinnabon without Sin! (But man - even one Cinnabon would be a LOT better than this film!) :P

Awful script, awful acting, awful music (the worst of all), i might have missed a category for godawful movies for a special group of people or something or it was school project by children and in that case i give them an A.

Even skipping trough it didn't make it go fast enough.

A lesbian family member is getting married and the family is going to spend the weekend on the site of a disused government fort for the ceremony. When they get there they find that her partner's family live by a very old fashioned and austere regime; almost like you would imagine oldy-world, strict Catholics to be. They say they're descended from the persecuted families of Salem, but are they as simple and innocent as they seem?

I've given this a 4 instead of a 3 because I quite enjoyed it and I managed to watch it right to the end. I nearly gave it a 3 because of the music score which grated on my nerves, throughout. Music is a subjective thing, so I could be being too judgemental here, but this has to have the worst music score I have ever heard in any film I've seen. Some may think it's appropriate for the atmosphere of the film; I thought it was absolutely awful and spoiled the whole thing (for me). That said I tolerated it and got through the movie. Did I regret watching it? No! Would I put it on again if a friend came round? Maybe as a warm-up movie if we had something better to watch afterwards.
