Witchcraft may be among the worst movies i’ve ever seen but that doesn’t mean its without its charms. They’re just few and far too far between. There are some gems of hideous ’80s aesthetics, from Grace’s friend Linda’s penchant for leather dresses (stylishly paired with some Big Bird orange tights), to more cheap satin nighties than you could shake a ritual dagger at. Pair this with Elizabeth’s house, where nearly the entirety of the action takes place, which is a strange amalgam of 80s yuppie pad and crumbling New England farmhouse, and Witchcraft is worth a look for those who watch horror movies for the aesthetics. If so, you might watch Witchcraft on 10x speed, as i did when i went back through looking for screenshots. It almost doesn’t seem overlong or boring at that pace.

31 Days Of Horror: Witchcraft (1988) horror movie review
Let’s face it, as horror lovers, we often have to wade through a torrent of bad movies to find the gold and hidden gems. This is especially true when you get into the territory of low-budget horror, often shot on and then released directly to video. So you know that it’s a bold claim, from someone who grew up in the suburbs in the ’80s with only a video card to keep him company, that Witchcraft is among the worst movies i’ve ever seen!
That’s not that uncommon among Z-grade horror movies. The trouble is that Witchcraft commits the most unpardonable sin, especially among horror movies – its boring. Seemingly endless shots of Grace Churchhill (Anat Topol) wandering through an unfinished basement that’s supposed to be some rambling, crumbling estate, almost the entirety of Witchcraft is as soggy and bloated as a mouldering cardboard box.
For the sake of due diligence, i’ll include a short summary of Witchcraft‘s plot, although if you’ve seen Rosemary’s Baby i mostly needn’t bother.
As Grace Churchill is having her baby, disturbing visions flash in her mind that show two witches being burned at the stake. It is later learned that these two people are John (Gary Sloan) and Elizabeth Stockwell (Mary Shelley, whose career really went downhill after writing Frankenstein), who were burned in the year 1687. The visions seem to stop once her baby, whom she names William, is born. Things get worse when she, her husband, and the baby temporarily move into her mother-in-law’s creepy old house. It’s here that the visions start returning, and all sorts of spooky events start happening around her, including a priest hanging himself in their backyard. Grace discovers that the two witches she saw burned at the stake are her husband and mother-in-law, and they claim William as theirs. As the two try to kill Grace in a Satanic ritual, they are killed by their mute butler, leaving Grace to save William.
Kyle: Kyle is Andy's foster sister in "Child's Play 2" and offers support in his battle against Chucky. Together, they manage to reassemble the dismembered doll and electrocute him in the finale of the film. 3. Tyler: In "Child's Play 3," Chucky targets a young boy named Tyler, who becomes his potential new vessel. Andy once again intervenes and, together with Tyler's help, destroys Chucky by using a machine to grind him up. 4. Tiffany: Tiffany becomes Chucky's love interest and partner in the later films of the series. However, in "Bride of Chucky," she becomes disillusioned with his murderous ways and decides to take matters into her own hands. Tiffany transfers her soul into a bride doll, resurrects Chucky, and plans to transfer both their souls into human bodies. However, her ultimate plan of using Jennifer Tilly's character is foiled, and both Tiffany and Chucky end up being killed. 5. Glen/Glenda: In "Seed of Chucky," Chucky and Tiffany have a child named Glen, who struggles with his dual nature. Glen wants to stop the killing and attempts to cure his family of their murderous ways. In the end, Glen manages to separate the good and evil in his parents, leading to a more peaceful existence for him and his sister Glenda. 6. Nica Pierce: Nica is the main protagonist in "Curse of Chucky." After receiving a mysterious package containing the Chucky doll, Nica finds herself paralyzed from the waist down. Throughout the film, Nica tries to warn others about the doll's evil nature, but they dismiss her claims. In the climax, it is revealed that Nica's niece, Alice, has been possessed by Chucky. Nica manages to transfer her soul into the doll to stop Chucky and save her niece. In each installment of the "Child's Play" franchise, the characters find themselves faced with the challenge of stopping the notorious killer doll Chucky. These characters use various methods to combat and attempt to cure Chucky, whether through physically destroying him or separating his evil influence from innocent individuals. However, as the franchise continues to unfold, it becomes evident that Chucky's presence and threat are not easily eradicated..
Reviews for "Chucky's Hideouts: A Closer Look at the Film Locations in the Franchise"
1. John - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the characterization in "Cult of Chucky." The characters felt one-dimensional and lacked any depth or complexity. It was as if they were solely there to serve as cannon fodder for Chucky's kills. Additionally, the dialogue was cringeworthy and felt forced, making it hard to connect or care about any of the characters. Overall, the poor characterization significantly affected my enjoyment of the film, and I wouldn't recommend it to any horror fans.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
While I'm usually a fan of the Chucky franchise, "Cult of Chucky" left a lot to be desired with its characters. They were underdeveloped and failed to evoke any sympathy or emotional investment. The actors did their best with the material they were given, but the script didn't allow them to shine. The lack of character development made it difficult to become fully engaged in the story, which ultimately led to a disappointing viewing experience. I had much higher expectations for the film, and unfortunately, it fell short in this aspect.
