Wake the Witch (2010)

the audience applauded

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Wake The Witch is one of those indie horrors easily viewable on Youtube and I gave it ago expecting the worst.I immediately was drawn in, the characters were good, it looked the part and the musical score was deeply creepy.The trouble is this didn't last, the plot makes very little sense and this becomes evident before the half way mark.Again to it's credit the score is great, but sadly it's repeated throughout the film and becomes a bit much.The lead was excellent, she made the film bearable but this is her only movie credit which is a shame.The ending is dreadful and really is the cherry ontop of this mess.The Good: Memorable haunting score Excellent lead The Bad: Memorable haunting score gets very repetitive Loses steam early Plot makes no senseThings I Learnt From This Movie: Witches minions are hoodies It's best to invite police officers into your home before asking them for ID When finding a corpse in the woods, use your shirt to wipe up your vomit then leave your shirt next to the corpse to give the police DNA evidence that implicates you.....genius!

This is not a real movie, this is someone's idea of a joke. First of all the quality of the film must be someone's camcorder with the sound quality in accordance. There are no special effects unless you count Halloween Spider webbing and Fake Blood and even that has no relation to the scenes involved. The acting, (if you can call it that), is worse than a school play. There is not one good thing about this movie and believe me when I tell you I've even liked movies that received bad reviews.I watched this so called movie to the end and the more I watched the madder I got at the lying reviews of anyone who said anything positive about it.NOT WORTH EVEN A RENTAL!

Wake the Witch is a carefully crafted pile of crap, fabricated in my home town of Lincoln, Nebraska. I went to the first screening of Wake the Witch, expecting to see a sincerely and locally made, low budget, horror film. What I got, was an honest to God obligation to channel Tom Servo, Crow, Mike and Joel to make the film even the least bit tolerable.As even a devout Troma fan, I can say that I can, at the very least, appreciate a bad film. This goes beyond anything ever seen before. Characters that DEFY you to like them, a plot that changes when ever it was on the verge of being coherent, and music that lacks any sort of atmosphere. I truly believe that if Ed Wood were with us today, he would tell these people to stop making movies all together.I will sum up my Wake the Witch experience with this anecdote. Within minutes, I realized what garbage this movie was, and loudly berated it with the people sitting around me as we sat in the front row. After our unrelenting assault on this film, and the lights went up, I saw the lead "actress" and her parents behind me, all three well aware of what I had been doing, and not only did I truly feel no remorse, I expected an apology from them for what I was just subjected to.In summation, it is worth a rental. The best case scenario for Wake the Witch is that in 20 years it gets the treatment that Troll 2 gets now.

Since the dawn of cinema, certain movies have proved themselves to be masterpieces, worthy not only of repeated viewing, but of the highest praise from all who watch. Sadly, Wake the Witch falls nowhere near this category. In fact, to locate it in the same zip code; neigh, the same hemisphere as that type of distinction would be a gross injustice. To truly understand the depth of the worthlessness of this movie requires one to not only sit through the entire mind-numbing 114 minutes of wasted film, but to also attempt to pay attention for that span of time. Such a task proves impossible for even the most enthusiastic of terrible-movie-enthusiasts.It is one thing for a movie to not reveal its main plot for over an hour. It's an entirely other thing to do so when that plot is pointless, convoluted, and the hour-plus of waiting contains no action. Not only that, but to subject the audience to the added torture of watching the the female lead enter forests, get chased by zombie Abercrombie models, creep through houses, and get hit on by a borderline pedophile time after time after time is simply criminal. The one redeeming quality of this movie is that viewers in Lincoln could recognize some of the filming locations- small comfort, though, considering that if one tried to explain what plot points happened at these locations there would really be no answer besides "I don't know." That this movie is the worst I may ever see is a given, and to say that it is a waste of time is an understatement. Jesus Christ himself would be hard pressed to love anything about this movie other than the fact that it ends.To sum it up concisely, Wake the Witch sucks.
