Ritual das Bruxas

Complete disappointment. The acting is terrible, only the script is worse than it. After watching it, I had only one question: how can such a thing be filmed in our time?

From choice of filter, cameras, angles and editing, to the acting, setting and story. It's so bad that my cringe reaction was delayed out of pure disbelief.

After some 20 dreary minutes I could't help pushing the FF-button, to see if somewhere along the line there would pop up something remotely interesting (let alone scary), but it turned out as still more of the same silly, uneventful rip-off of any other B-movie that concerns young college girls doing witchcraft. Ridiculous story, bad dialogues, cringing acting, hopeless lighting, sound and special effects: everything oozed amateurism and low (if any) budget.

Because of the lack of a decent plot or script, the director thought of bringing in as much skin as possible, so he made his actresses do their witching in an endless variation of cheap looking lingerie, which turned out anything but sexy or titillating, just preposterous.

Don't let the brazenly misleading synopsis fool you: pass this one, it's a waste of time.

Come on.... this was such a blatant attempt at ripping off the craft ... you guys didn't try very hard. It was hilariously awful!

Ok, this is one of those teeny-bopper horror movies where everyone is pretty (including the guys). Wait, there is one dumb sexist hillbilly who the witches have to put in his place. Big surprise. Coven doesn't even pretend to be a ripoff of another famous young girl coven movie, it says so right on the cover!

Ok, you've got you're two catty lesbian witches that are always threatening to kiss, but never do, there's the real goofy witch, the peacenik witch, and the "new" witch who just wants to see her mother again. An accidental(?) sacrifice, a newfound "key" witch, whose most prevalent power seems to be the opening and closing of doors, and several various ceremonies later, the girls manage to summon the spirit of Ashura, who is supposed to bring great power to the coven. Only she just wants to kill everyone else, and funnily enough, make catty remarks. How old was this witch?

As you can see, not much of a story here. Could not for the life of me figure out why the non-possessed catty lesbian witch was arrested at the end. For being a bystander? For getting hit in the face with a lug nut wrench? For a bad attitude? What could they charge her with? They're going to explain a satanic ritual, an unholy battle, and a possession... to the police? Yeah, book this chick! Made zero sense.
