The Coven (2015)

Just perfect...

Absolutely brilliant

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Well actually this is a cleverly thought out plot obviously aimed at a younger audience but somehow ended up a '15' ?? Unsure why as there's no bloody horror and apart from bad language - younger kids can watch it. I can only assume that a lot of people didn't 'get it'? This film needs you to pay attention as otherwise you will miss what is happening. The way the girl in the old fairytale merges into the Supply Teacher Mrs Belial...there are clues throughout and the Tutor and Eve talking about the old poem and then Eddy....if you watch properly it all comes together rather nicely and makes sense. I really enjoyed it and in fact I just bought a copy for my friend's daughter.If you want a 'seen it all before' horror tale then it's not for you. But if you want to be kept on your toes - ignore the negative comments and watch this film.Also I didn't realise IMDb was a forum for throwing bullying insults at people? Guys you really should check all user comments before posting them.

The movie is called Coven (2015) It's a UK film, Directed with stylish flair by John Mackie. The story was by Jayney Mackie. Among the lead stars are Cloe and Holly Mackie. Spoiler Alert; The movie deals with pagan ritual, satanic invocations, and seven innocents sent to their doom, maybe, A lot more is implied, then stated. Although bearing a close similarity to Blair Witch Project, this movie managed to play with the "found footage" elements, but not be captive to them.Unfortunately the upload I viewed at you tube, was faulty, particularly with the sound, and occasionally the picture. It was hard to understand, Listening to a group of adolescent girls chirping away would be hard enough to understand. Their accents didn't help, If the girls dialog was scripted, it would surprise me. There are many flaws here, the motorcycle in the woods, chasing the kids, grew tiresome. One thing is clear, there is a lot going on, and not all of it is explained. Apparently, Queens Woods, where it was filmed is the site of pagan coven activity, Some spooky stuff here, but not for everyone.

Wot is it with girls and woods!!!!! Surely by now ALL us girls know that for Whatever Reason they go into the woods At Night!! they're gonna come a cropper. And boy do these girls get it... Even tho they know things had gone down there before they STILL decide to camp out! On Halloween!! Well I mean whaddya expect! (Me an my sisters are going to go to the woods it was done in to see if WE can see any witches) I like Dexter Fletcher he's cute in a crinkly sorta way, but he gives his class a bum steer it seems - straight into the woods..... Lots of weird witchy things happen and - well you gotta watch it yourself! Just don't forget girlies - Playtime is Over ....... (Watch out for the bogeybike) xx

I wish I could get the time back that I invested in watching this craptastic film. My 4 year old has a better imagination and acting skills then half of this elementary school cast. What was the plot of this film? It was all over the place and the acting was atrocious! I thought I was watching something a kid had filmed and wrote there was no point in even wasting what money they put in this film. I'm so happy I didn't waste my own money on purchasing it and rented it instead. I even told the movie place to throw it in the trash or place a sign above it saying "Please don't waste your time on this movie!!!!!" What more can be said.....lol
