Mark of the Witch (2014)

People are voting emotionally.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

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

The version of this film I watched on Amazon Prime was called MARK OF THE WITCH. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It's a cheap and event-free indie horror about a young woman who descends into a world of black magic on her 18th birthday. The budget is non-existent which means that this is mostly made up of conversations and cheap ritualistic paraphenalia. The problem is that the director is too concerned with making his shots arty instead of telling a substantial story.

I seen this one under the title Mark Of The Witch because marketers still need to ride the witch wave for sales. The film has a young lady celebrating her 18th birthday which begins to set in motion her true destiny of becoming Satan's sorcerer. Dreams and reality are soon blurred as her transition begins.The effects were pretty bad but for a low budget I guess they tried. They were doing some kind of Matrix witchery when everything was slowed down and the witches were fighting each other. The acting wasn't bad for this flick The story was screwed up the way they conveyed it, even worse when we watch five minute intervals of slow motion scenes. Someone had a wonderful vision but I just didn't see it.My other bitch about this witch is it ended after 69 minutes and then 10 minutes of credits. The credits were even done slow motion. Do not bother with this one.

This film which is also titled 'Mark of the witch' is awful both the story line and actors are bad bad, it didn't make sense at all and not scary in the least.It will make you just want to switch it off. It started with a bunch of cloaked figures and a baby then it's 18 years later and the girl is celebrating her 18th birthday there's a strange woman who I thought could be her grandma but you never get to know this. There was a woman who could have been a witch and the girls mother she kept appearing looking like a tramp with horrible teeth and long stained nails.I didn't really understand this film because it was a piece of nonsense from start to finish so avoid it at all costs. Sometimes the cover of the DVD looks like it could be good but all I can say is looks can be deceiving.

This is a film about a pretty young lady (Jordyn) who was told that her mother died when she was born. She has been brought up with her aunt, and has two friends (whose appearances in the film are as props for the horror rather than as part of any proper plot). Her aunt is a former nun who dies at the start of the film. Jordyn is haunted in various ways after her aunt dies.I struggle to find any upside to this film. There is hardly any plot. The horror starts early on and carries on at almost the same pace throughout. A good horror film has changes of pace. If the horror is continuous, then you don't get that shock that makes you jump up in your seat. There's nothing very original here. Many of the scenes are reminiscent of other films in the horror genre. The attempt to include religion was very clumsy. In addition, ridiculing Christianity feels a bit old-fashioned now. We're not living in the 1960s any more.
