The Witch Files

More specifically, this movie should be a one off book for teenage girls. The plot reads exactly like what you would expect from one. Acting could be better, could be worse. You'll figure this movie out really quick though. So as a horror movie, I give this a 2, but if I think about it as a coming of age, kickass, girl flick? Yeah Ill give it a six.

Okay, that was pretty bad. But all the horrible witch puns at the end drove me crazy. The movie itself is a complete mess. I'm not a fan of the found footage genre and this film is why. The constant need for a reason why they're recording really takes you out of the experience. Few movies have done it right and many more movies need to stop trying. It's a cheap framing device for poor cinematography.

The acting, script, effects, and direction is all very subpar. The only thing more absurd was the story. Not even halfway through and I had figured out almost everything. Can't even recommend this one for a free watch on a slow night.

A couple things about this movie.

1) It's one of those movies where it's actually a very compelling idea, and could have been really good if it was done correctly. This movie... wasn't. Halfway decent writing but acting worse than my middle school acting class. That being said....

2) I love Paget Brewster in Criminal Minds. So... how did she end up on this project? Her involvement plus the compelling idea of the script is what got me to watch, and I was pretty let down.

This is a pretty decent movie.

It's all shot(98%) with a handheld camera by the girls(mostly claire) and is not bad at all compared to a lot of horror movies that try this style.

The story is not original but it works,same with the acting,I didn't feel any of them were bad.

The things they did look pretty much on point with what a group of teenage girls would do in those situations.

Overall the movie is not bad and if you like fantasy/mystery movies I would say give it a chance.

Just so you know, this had nothing to do with horror nor thriller. It actually wasn't bad. It's one of those feel good movies that you don't stress out while watching with happy endings which i liked because movies these days lack that kind of vibe and bad endings are a must these days for some reason. I would say it would be kind of perfect for a younger audience or young teens. As a girl in her early 20s it just wasn't for me lol
