The Witches (on Amazon Prime) I watched this movie way back when, as a kid, and I didn’t really remember much about it. It starts out in Norway with a healthy dose of regional flavor and witch folklore, then moves to England where there’s a seaside witch convention. (YES PLEASE!!) So these witches have a…

Season of The Witch Movies- White Haired Witch review
White Haired Witch (on Netflix) The heroine is played by Fan Bingbing. That’s just one of many things you need to know to appreciate this movie. The second thing you need to know is that it’s stunningly beautiful. But I may be partial as I’ve always loved mythic, magical Asian cinema. This one is Chinese,…
Season of The Witch Movies- Teen Witch review
Teen Witch (on Hulu) Gods, I hate this fucking movie. If I’m being honest, I’m punishing myself with it. I should be doing a tarot reading, a Bewitching the Moon video, and writing a piece that’s due at the end of the month. But I really wanted to watch a movie. So I’m going to…
Season of The Witch Movies- The VVitch review
The VVitch (free on Amazon Prime) So I have to be honest. I saw this in the theater, and I fucking love this movie. It’s horror, but of a really different sub genre. It’s kind of survival horror, where the main concern through the movie is just basic survival- as in “Hey kids, the harvest…
Season of The Witch Movies- The Naked Witch review
The Naked Witch (on Amazon Prime) Wow. This one’s fun. Produced in 1961 by Claude Alexander, who also produced The Naked Dracula, The Naked Mummy, Hey look! I’m naked right now!, and What Are You Wearing? It begins with woogie organ music played behind a foreshadowing monologue about how ‘the student’ never thought something like…
Season of The Witch Movies- Burn, Witch, Burn! review
Burn, Witch, Burn! (on Amazon Prime) Ohhhhh, it starts out soooo good. There’s a protective incantation where the narrator calls upon Marduk, Hecate, Satan, Beelzebub, etc. for protection. The epitome of 50s/60s horror drama kitsch. I’m SO in! We start our story with a college professor and his wife. Are they British? Fancy 50s Americans? …
Season of The Witch Movies- Season of the Witch (2014) review
Season of the Witch (on Amazon Prime) If I wasn’t inspired by the 2 star rating, the opening scenes with the dying fish out of water would have gotten me. Ugh. The production value on this one is somewhat lacking (at several points the music gets so loud you can’t hear the dialogue), but I’m…
Season of the Witch Movies- The Mini Witch review
The Mini Witch on Amazon Prime Ok, this one was goddamned adorable. It’s a Dutch movie with English dubbed in, but that just adds flavor. In this movie, we follow the adventures of Fuchsia, the mini witch, who hatches from a glowing egg, meets her father, goes to witch school (where they make things like…
Season of The Witch Movies- The Witching review
The Witching (on Amazon Prime) This movie starts with 4 paranormal podcasters camping in the middle of Woodland Valley Forest (home of the Woodland Valley Witch), where they’re uploading videos, tweeting, etc. So apparently, these super-haunted, deep, dark woods are next to a Walmart or something with WiFi. Scaaarrryyyy… They start telling stories by the…
