Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Platypuschow The fourth part of the epically lengthed Witchcraft franchise gives me the impression that their quality isn't going to improve anytime soon. Once again we have yet another truly awful attempt at a horror following the "Adventures" of our warlock Will.I'm fast starting to think that along with being one of the longest movie franchises in history that it may well be one of the worst.Also starring Julie Strain this is another barely followable crapfest.The Good:At least they follow on from each otherThe Bad:Poor sound balancingFilm noir attempt is dumbTerrible plotThings I Learnt From This Movie:In reverse land Julie Strain wears clothes in films!
FieCrier Years ago I'd seen one of the Witchcraft movies, but then couldn't remember which one, or even much about the movie itself. I recently watched all the movies in the series, though not in order, and got to this one last, and eventually recognized it as the one I'd seen. That I could remember so little about it even while watching it may say something about it, though it isn't really so bad.A couple makes out in an isolated spot. The woman isn't interested in going all the way yet. The guy ends up knocking himself unconscious, and she goes for help, but she is struck and put in the trunk of a car. We see that she's taken somewhere else and her heart is removed (the virgin heart of the title, I suppose).Her boyfriend Peter Wild is charged with her murder, and his sister goes to Will Spanner for help. Will Spanner is the main recurring character in the Witchcraft series, and this entry is Charles Solomon's last time in the role. From what Spanner says, this one takes place about three years after the previous film. Most of them don't need to be watched in order.Spanner is a warlock, though he very rarely uses his powers, since evil forces want him on their side and he may have a natural inclination towards evil. He works as a lawyer, and in this one is no longer a public defender, but has a small unsuccessful private practice handling insurance cases. Nevertheless, he was recommended to Wild's sister and he does have a hard time turning away from attractive women.A possible clue at the scene of the crime leads him to Belladonna (Julie Strain), who works as a dancer at one club, and secretly as a blues singer at another. Her agent is a bad guy, and maybe his clients' success is due to a pact with the devil....There's nudity in this one, as usual (apart from the first), though not to the practically softcore degree of some of the other entries. The dead victim is briefly seen nude, and Strain has a few nude and sex scenes.Parts of this one are narrated by Spanner, giving it more of a mystery or slightly neo-noir flavor. I don't recall any of the others having it. He does frequently get involved in investigations, or assisting the police, so much so that he probably ought to give up lawyering and become a PI or police detective.One of the characters claims to have been Spanner's twin brother from a previous life, having been born to some woman prior to or during the Inquisition. Whether this was some lie he was being told, or what, I don't know. It hadn't been mentioned in any of the other movies. In the first one, his father believes him to be (and maybe he is) the reincarnation of an unborn child burned at the stake with his witch parents in colonial American times.
pumaye This terrible movie series - that in the meantime has reached number twelwe, I don't understand why - reaches really the bottoms with this fourth entry, starring again warlock-lawyer Will Spanner against none other than the devil in a convoluted, bad lightened, worse acted sort of Mississipi Adventure gone wrong, with its story of bluesmen and pacts with the Lord of the Flies. More a mystery than a real horror movie - but it is really bad both ways you see it - this movie has the only reason to be watched in the presence of Julie Strain as stripper-singer extraordinaire Belladonna, that shows her bare and best assets, her wonderful breasts, but even she is totally wasted in the abomination that this movie is. Don't bother to rent nor to buy.
Kakueke Witchcraft IV is more of a murder mystery drama than a horror film; the horror element is not very well done. There is a murder at the beginning, the accused, a defense lawyer and police, but the focus shifts away from the accused and onto, err, the supernatural element. Some nice scenes of Julie Strain, but her character is not very compelling. Nothing really interesting happens until the climax, but this leaves something to be desired too. Mediocre fare.
