Best movie of this year hands down!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

WITCHCRAFT X: MISTRESS OF THE CRAFT is another in the series with the twist that this is a British indie feature rather than American. Scream queen Stephanie Beaton plays the main cop role in the interests of continuity, but what's immediately apparent is just how appallingly bad this shot-on-video production is. Brit scream queens Eileen Daly and Emily Booth have small roles as overacting witches (complete with fake plastic fangs for some reason) while the mundane plot plods and muddles its way through the grimy streets of London. The wooden acting from the non-performers is criminally bad and the film is surprisingly tame despite hinting at nudity and bloodshed throughout. It's dated in the worst '90s way and criminally overbearing.

The haters really should pipe down cuz Witchcraft X does indeed have some redeeming qualities. First let me say that I believe that I may be the ONLY true fan of this series (hate on me if you must) and not just for the skin I might say. Let's face it, producing the longest running horror/ erotic horror/ soft porn... whatever it's called... series of all time should render the makers of these films some earned notoriety. Regarding Witchcraft X; Admittedly when I first bought this film (yes, bought- not rented) I was shocked and appalled that it was seemingly shot-on-video, not on film. I thought to myself there's no way, but alas there it was, and I was watching it. Yes it is true, that this is by all accounts a horrible example of film-making and in ways makes other entries in the series look like Oscar contenders. I firmly believe, for example, that Witchcraft V, VI and yes, even VII were notably slick, cool and thoroughly entertaining (again, feel free to hate on me). IX ranks right up there too I might add, and those original VHS box covers are f*****g beautiful! That being said, 'Mistress of the Craft' begins with the absolute coolest and darkest opening credits sequence of all the films with some awesome music ta boot (I think the artist was Monkey, or Red Monkey... something like this). And, you've gotta give em' credit for construing an interesting (though silly) storyline... more interesting than perhaps I'm used to with this series. Yes the Vampire crap is just that, but what the f**k? Who doesn't like Vampires?? The scene in the stairwell of the night club won my heart, as did Raven and satanic dude's sex scene later on in the film. Can't remember satanic dude's name, but he uttered some hilariously amazing lines throughout! Stephanie Beaton rocked in every way too! Bottom line: although I myself do look upon these films with some seriousness, the best advice for anyone who says that they've had the 'mis-fortune' of sitting through one and then feels compelled to tear it apart, is this - DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, IDIOTS!!! You'll enjoy it a hell of a lot more and you won't have to listen to people like me defending it. Peace!

Yeah i saw the rough cuts. The unedited sex scenes. The dire cut scenes. Almost on a par with the film 'The Need' for awful acting. This movie is as bad as bad films get.the bad script, bad acting, bad effects, bad locations, bad stunts bad everything. The best 'actors' in the film were the lap dancers they hired for the vampire extras!Sean Harry, the 'foppish actor' as someone else put it, makes a matchstick look talented here. His amazing ability to badly drive a car, when it is obviously being shook by people on the bonnet (check out the reflection in the windscreen), his inability to turn left, which is class. OH and don't forget the sex scene. plus his noteworthy use of a toy gun which the props guys couldn't even be bothered to disguise as a real gun. The other actors on screen could barely deliver their lines.It was as if half the time they were waiting for a line that wasn't there!The 'special effects' were soooo good to the point that the guys who did it took their real names off the credits!If you want a laugh at a party then rent this movie...then again there are plenty of good comedies that are just as funny and don't give money to people who don't deserve it.

Once again, the worst actress alive, messes up an even messier flick. How is that possible? Without Eileen Daly, this would just have been bad, but her "acting" plus "story" plus a production team and director with the talent of a vacuum cleaner, makes this about the worst movie ever made, next to Oasis of the Zombies. I normally like low budget, or even no budget, but this is just a waste of time.Oh, one plus: Some of the chicks have quite nice bodies. That's about it... AVOID!!!
