Witchcraft II: The Temptress

The first film had a full budget and a professional production. These people clearly had neither. This is a semi professional work with actors they mostly found in some amateur dramatics production. The film survived oblivion by its tie in to the previous film and the voluptuous form of Delia Shephard. I became aware of this film by various horror and vampire websites including by the actor and parapsychologist Stephen Armourae who was ranting ( as usual) about this film and how it should be seen to be believed. He had posted a couple of sketches of Delia Shephard from the film as he had studied art and drawing nudes. And that's the most interesting part of the film. You're probably better off tracking down Armourae's pictures from it instead of sitting through a couple hours of this amateurs.

The acting more wooden than the Amazon jungle. A highlight you can enjoy having first ingested alcohol is Charles Soloman's facial expressions. The camera repeatedly comes in close and takes an 'artistic angle' as he recoils. Especially in the climax where Delia Shephard demands a tryst so she can mother a devil messiah. His other skill is to mention Ozzy Osbourne so its not all bad. Like Ed Wood and his films what makes this awful is that they the producers and director have no idea they're heading for disaster. They approach this with full solemnity and providing you are not bored to death by it you will enjoy the amateurishness of the acting, directing, the lighting: always to dark inside. If they need someone to father the destroyer of the world they could have found someone more convincing than Soloman. It is laughable that someone of Delia's looks and desperately pouting is begging to embrace Soloman. And her breathy diction is over the top too

The opening scene of WITCHCRAFT II: THE TEMPTRESS features a witch either casting a spell, or making the world's ugliest tuna casserole. Thus, the character of the title is created.

Enter Will Adams and his girlfriend, Michelle (Chris Solomon and Mia Ruiz), who have no idea that the demonic seductress lives right next door to Will! Her name is Dolores (the divine Delia Sheppard), and she hasn't been herself lately. Will finds her enchanting, even... tempting. Dolores starts popping in and out of the Will's life like a sensual jack-in-the-box, to hilarious effect. Even the cleaning of her gutters becomes a rib-tickling event!

Can Will and his relationship with what's-her-name, somehow endure Dolores' powers?

This movie is far more absurd than the original. While that movie was typical, straight-to-video, 1980's cheeeze-corn, this one bears no resemblance to that story, choosing instead to veer off into soft core land.

EXTRA POINTS FOR: #1- The role of Boomer (David Homb), who's in the running for the most perfectly annoying character ever! He's more irritating than a bout of personal itch! #2- The insane final conflict that plays like a mumbo jumbo-filled music video!...

I'm binging the Witchcraft franchise, all 16 of them and was regretting making this decision after the mess that was the first film.

Outstandingly Witchcraft 2 actually manages to be worse and that was a feat I wasn't expecting.

It follows on from the first film with the baby now a teenager (Played by a guy who looks about 30). Now an evil temptress is after him, can he resist her or is he doomed to fall into satans plan?

Honestly, I didn't care. From the baffling daft story to the awful performances to the hokey effects this was an utter mess.

I do hope they get better, for the sake of my health!

The Good:

Follows on from the first film

The Bad:

Awful effects

Dreadful plot

Incredibly boring

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Some movies should come with warning labels such as "May be hazardous to mental wellbeing" or "May bring you out in a rash, watch in moderation"

Seriously - I've watched a lot of horror since the age of 11 (and I'm 35 now), and there's only a few films that hurt so much that I'm actually angry after watching them. The Stink of Flesh was one such film...Zombie Nightmare was another. This film, Witchcrap 2, really got under my skin in terms of pure annoyance.

I've never even seen the first film. This one has a guy (William Chugnut), and his missus (Something Bladbladia) 'making out' as they say over there, but then this Bridgit Neilson type turns up and it's all about a box and the parents know something and *eyes close* and *eyes open* there's a geek chick who finds something out and gets killed and *eyes close* and *eyes open* there's a jelly water mango on display and *eyes close* and *eyes open* - My LAST THOUGHT while viewing this film was 'please change the camera shot soon as I am going to fall asleep". This was during the scene where William's dad was describing something or other. The camera doesn't cut away to reaction shots - it's just the same shot, for about six minutes, with nothing interesting happening. Truly awful.

Some hanging globes of joy on display, but that's it. This film is terrible in every respect. I really hated it.

Not that I really liked this movie, in fact, I watched only part 1 and 2. The first was OK, but the second was so much worse that I never watched a Witchcraft movie again. It seems to me that you are all with me, but what I can't understand is why the h**l you watch FIVE other sequels too if you thought this one was so awful??????
