Witch Movies

RENT - Made obsolete by its own success, the groundbreaking indie film shocked the world without showing much at all
4 Spookies		 The Blair Witch Project
1999		 Taint reviewed it yet.
Review Pending...		 Bell Witch: The Movie
2007		 RENT - Much better than expected, rather than rehashing the original, deals with time gaps and an occult explanation of wierdness
2 Spookies		 Book of Shadows - Blair Witch 2
2000		 RENT - Visually stunning dark fairytale, adequate acting, rich Gilliam directing - reasonably child friendly
3 Spookies		 The Brothers Grimm
2005
RENT - Vincent Price in top form, also released as The Witchfinder General
3 Spookies		 The Conquerer Worm
1968		 SKIP - Dawsons Creek for metrosexual warlocks, otherwise it's The Craft with wenises
2 Spookies		 The Covenant
2006		 RENT - Teen peer group stress meets witchcraft, good plot and acting, nice buildup, some good witchy moments
3 Spookies		 The Craft
1996		 RENT - Adequate but inaccurate adaptation of Lovecraft, some spookiness without capturing the scope of the story
2 Spookies		 Dreams in the Witch House
2005
RENT - Fun for Elvira fans, a Scooby Doo mystery involving her witchy past. Two high points
2 Spookies		 Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
1988		 RENT - Silent classic Witchcraft Through the Ages, cool sabbath stagings, heavy expressionistic shadows, fun old fashioned propaganda

1978		 RENT - Good for Julian Sands fans, more sci-fi than horror, typical 1980s gothic
