Witchcraft V: Dance with the Devil (1993)

Touches You

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I'm in the process of binge watching the Witchcraft franchise and am fast starting to think this is the worst movie series of all time.Here in the 5th part we see the return of William the warlock, except now he's played by a different actor as I'm sure the last guy had enough.He's spellbound by a rival warlock who uses him to collect souls for satan, or something.With some of the worst overacting I've ever seen and sex/nudity in every other scene this really pushes for the title of worst Witchcraft movie. I'm not sure it is, but it's certainly on par.I'd recommend the Witchcraft franchise thus far to people who like *Ahem*, people who are into *Hmmmm* guys and gals I don't like? *Shrugs*The Good:Boobs, what? I'm a simple manThe Bad:SFX that hurt my brainAntagonist is hammy to ridiculous levelsCringe inducingDull plotThings I Learnt From This Movie:I didn't know Ronnie James Dio was a warlockPoor girl, her top keeps falling off

I've just watched four WITCHCRAFT films in a row and I'm pleased to say that this was the last one for now. I'm glad as I don't think I could take much more of this nonsense without wanting to tear my eyeballs out. DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ties with a couple of the others as the worst this pointless series has to offer; you know it must be had when even the main star, Charles Solomon Jr., doesn't come back and has to be played by somebody else.DANCE WITH THE DEVIL tells the usual nonsense story about the devil collecting souls via an evil warlock with murder in mind. The young Chinese guy who directs it seems to have little idea about the basics of film-making because this is a near-unwatchable mess with poor lighting and hardly any kind of sets throughout.The script is particularly awful, full of pointless swearing which the wooden cast members shout at every opportunity. I was tempted to watch it on mute. Once again there's barely any kind of horror to speak of, instead the director is more interested in shooting his actresses in various topless scenes. Some of them are unsurprisingly sporting scars from their plastic surgery so it's not really very erotic, just a chore to sit through.

David Huffman steals the show in an amazingly hilarious performance as Campy Cain the warlock. A bizarre mix of homoerotica and strange facial expressions combined with odd stances ( the bar scene ) and dialouge - " I need to get some more coffee", " I do magic - hypnosis".The special effects are diabolical.How there are 14 of these films is beyond me.I love the soft core porn elements.David Huffman, who went on to do absolutely nothing else after this Oscar worthy performance, really should hang his locks in shame.Pretty awful film, but saved by the blonde bad girl.

They just keep getting worse and worse. This offers all the bad direction, acting, script, special effects, poorly plotted situations, etc. that one could ever want. But it does offer two good things: plenty of naked blond haired women and a whole lottaaaa sex. If you don't like either one of these two things ( is something wrong with you if you don't find that appealing? )avoid this at all cost. Rating: 3 out of 10.
