not sure if a general audience will get what its referencing, but I loved it. over the top scenes? check - nice cinematography? check - a weird mystery? check - cheesy fx mixed with beautiful shots? check-

The main actress is mesmerizing, but in an unusual way.

The Aunt character is magnificent. Deranged , but with a hint if concern. That actress did a great job.

The story ( in straightforward way ) would have appealed a larger audience, but the cutting and "weirdness" will alienate many.

I can't imagine watching this with my teen nieces that love mainstream horror, can't be said enough... this is the opposite of mainstream.

Is this a masterwork? No. Is it a steaming clod of crap? No again. MARK OF THE WITCH aka ANOTHER is best approached from the indie mindset. The fact that several reviewers have labeled or described the movie as a "giallo" is helpful, for it gives me a perspective from which to base my review, one that has particular implications. Giallos, generally speaking, place emphasis on style over narrative coherence, and this film is no exception. There's something about an 18-year old girl learning her birth mother is a witch who wants to take over her body as some sort of renewal ritual. She has lived with her aunt, an ex-nun who seems to have once been a witch herself. Said girl has a number of quasi-psychedelic hallucinations, punctuated by blackouts during which she does horrible things to the people in her life. It all culminates in a showdown between the girl's mother and aunt, with a bleak ending. Breakdowns in logic abound, like why and how a girl who's just turned 18 is allowed to work and dispense drugs at a pharmacy, and why the pharmacy, that appears to be no bigger than a good-sized walk-in closet, has a janitor. It doesn't matter, because details like these take a back seat to stylized visuals,lurid colors, oddball camera angles, weird imagery, and (normally) copious amounts of gore. This film has most of these things to burn (excepting the gore). Leading lady Rojas is strikingly gorgeous: slender and leggy, with huge dark eyes, she reminds me of the sexy European actresses that appeared in many a late 1960s/early 1970s giallo. If you can appreciate the visual style of the movie--which is what I believe the filmmaker was focusing on--then there's much to appreciate.

This movie was dreadful. Everything about it was just embarrassing, from the half-baked premise to the sophomoric acting, it looked like a film trapped in the worst part of 80's films, but with a 2016 face lift. The worst offender is that 3/4 of the movie is filmed in slow-motion. You read that right, almost the entire movie literally moves at a snails pace, and why this directorial decision was made I will never understand. What I do understand is that the people responsible or this movie should never go near a computer or a camera ever again, and I will make sure that I NEVER partake in any of their subsequent festival of feces that they call "movies". This movie is as bad as you could possibly get, and just when you didn't think it could get any worse, it dives off a cliff to remind you that there is always worse. One of the most poorly realized films I have ever seen, it will be forgotten like the vomit covered garbage that it is.

Anyone giving this movie anything more than the two stars it deserves has no taste, or has worked in the film and does not want to admit that their involvement was in vain. Either way, shame on you for not seeing that being involved with this crap is a failure to humanity. You are what is wrong with cinema nowadays.

Despite the various flaws associated with a modest budget, there is much to like about this movie

Engrossing performance by the lead Paulie Rojas, visual styles that play with various media and harkens back to the 1970s era of gothic erotic horror, and a half decent score puts this film in potential cult classic territory.

I saw this at AOF and really enjoyed it. It reminded me of The Omen. Except instead of Damien being a small boy, it is an attractive and unusually captivating woman. All the pieces line up to her past for her being the spawn of evil. As it delves into demonic possession and dark magics, Jordyn uncovers her past. The story was fairly straight forward without much subplot, which I would say is the main negative. But the acting and cinematography made it compelling to watch. Some of the dialogue was over the top, but that added to the films charm. It had a lot of unusual-ness to it, making it different from the norm of horror. But still worth the watch if you like obscure horror films.
