Featured review
"Diane Abbott" (Amanda Wyss) and "Brad Travis" (Mark Hamill) are an unmarried couple who work together in an art gallery. As it so happens, one night at an art exhibit Brad meets a young woman named "Cassandra Perry" (Appolonia Kotero) who seduces him the next night. Eventually, however, he breaks off his affair with Cassandra and as might be expected this infuriates her. It's then that he learns that Cassandra is a powerful witch who has placed a terrible curse upon him that makes him extremely ill. Having already sought medical help with no results he is then taken by his maid "Carlita" (Abidah Viera) to a practitioner of black magic who subsequent cures him. Unfortunately, he warns Brad that the person who placed the curse upon him is extremely powerful and that he doesn't have the knowledge or experience necessary to help him afterward if that person chooses to continue. And it's then that he discovers that Cassandra is far from finished with him. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those films that had potential but didn't quite have the actors or direction necessary for the task at hand. For starters, although Appolonia was definitely attractive her scenes involving an erotic nature were never fully realized. Likewise, neither Mark Hamill nor Amanda Wyss appeared to fully demonstrate the right emotional ingredient necessary for their characters. At least, that is how it seemed to me. That being said, while I don't consider this to be a terrible film by any means, I thought it could have been much better and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
