Two Witches

TWO WITCHES is the kind of modern indie horror that inevitably leaves me cold. It's low budget, small scale and entirely predictable, featuring a bland young cast who find themselves assailed by a couple of old-fashioned witches. The story is so limited that the first half cuts off to introduce a whole new milieu in the second. As with a lot of these modern films, this one's overdirected to the hilt, with OTT transitions and camera effects to try to make it scary, but of course it doesn't work. Add in some gurning actors and a few nasty moments and you have something that doesn't even come close to horror.

Easily one of the strongest horror offerings this year. A strong first outing for director Pierre Tsigaridis that is bolstered by solid practical effects, a fantastic score and delightfully eerie performances from Marina Parodi and, break-out star, Rebekah Kennedy (whose performance will HAUNT you.) The remaining cast are authentic and believable in their performances.

The film is dripping with atmosphere and mood. It knows exactly what its trying to do and is unapologetic in achieving its goals. The scares are well earned and at times deeply unsettling.

This film is a fresh breath of life in a genre that, at times stagnates. Do not miss it.

There's a lot to like with this film. There's some great cinematography, some genuinely scary moments and performances (I'm of course talking primarily about Rebekah Kennedy in Chapter II). Props to the practical effects and the CGI too because it works well, considering the budget likely being quite low.

It's not quite an anthology, but split up into halves, plus an epilogue. Which is not wholly unique but also not utilized often. This style mostly works, even if it feels slightly disjointed.

It isn't a perfect film however. It overstays its welcome by a little - I think because it is almost like two separate films, the length feels longer than it actually is. Then there is the frenetic editing reminiscent of early Saw films in a few scenes.

Overall I'd recommend this movie for genre fans. It's a very watchable indie horror effort. I would definitely watch a sequel, which the ending alludes to.

Now, the concept idea of "Two Witches" definitely sounded interesting from the movie's synopsis, and a movie with witchcraft is usually always something fun to watch. And as such, I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 horror movie "Two Witches" from writers Kristina Klebe, Maxime Rancon and Pierre Tsigaridis without actually having heard of the movie prior to watching it.

The storyline was somewhat of a chaotic heap for me. I didn't enjoy being constantly bombarded with random footage that was supposed to be something like impressions or visions? It was just distracting and grew tiring really fast. So director Pierre Tsigaridis's 2021 movie "Two Witches" was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me.

I gave up on watching the movie, because the way that the movie was constructed and presented didn't appeal to my particular preference and taste in movies and entertainment. So the fact that the storyline had some appeal just fell to the ground. And I have zero interest in returning to finish watching "Two Witches".

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in this movie, and despite of me not enjoying the movie in general, I will say that the actors and actresses were doing fair enough jobs. It wasn't their fault that the writing was inadequate and that the director was all over the place.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Two Witches", I just happened not to be in that particular target audience. I am not sure how true the movie was to actual witchcraft.

My rating of "Two Witches" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, given the production value of the movie.

Put this on fot a 2nd watch because I remember the other year putting it on and leaving it in background as I thought it started bit flat then got sucked in at end. It does feel low budget at first but has some great effects for spooky witchy scenes. I also like the guy barging in at end. Thump. Though this didn't all end how I remembered & it says to be continued and would've liked a part 2 or this to be longer film and completed. There was the odd character U would've liked left in for a face off. Yes the girl playing marsha is good at being super creepy & annoying. She has really angular features to give off that pointy witch possessed look. Its problem is it doesnt mix the chapters together properly I just j Goes off key jumping incohesively to something else. I would've liked to see this run & intricated together a lot better. Theres no denying though they did a excellent job on all the witches appearance for a low budget.. bigger budget with better weaved and fleshed out story & they could've had a blockbuster. Ive not checked if they ever brought out a part 2 but they should because its left open & I would be interested in seeing the next chapters as it ends where it looks like there's about to be something big happening.
