Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A Major Disappointment

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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 movie was dreadful. Everything about it was just embarrassing, from the half-baked premise to the sophomoric acting, it looked like a film trapped in the worst part of 80's films, but with a 2016 face lift. The worst offender is that 3/4 of the movie is filmed in slow-motion. You read that right, almost the entire movie literally moves at a snails pace, and why this directorial decision was made I will never understand. What I do understand is that the people responsible or this movie should never go near a computer or a camera ever again, and I will make sure that I NEVER partake in any of their subsequent festival of feces that they call "movies". This movie is as bad as you could possibly get, and just when you didn't think it could get any worse, it dives off a cliff to remind you that there is always worse. One of the most poorly realized films I have ever seen, it will be forgotten like the vomit covered garbage that it is.Anyone giving this movie anything more than the two stars it deserves has no taste, or has worked in the film and does not want to admit that their involvement was in vain. Either way, shame on you for not seeing that being involved with this crap is a failure to humanity. You are what is wrong with cinema nowadays.

Besides the crow motif, this film is nothing like the Omen films. It is at best, artistic soft porn - without much porn. The plot and the acting are atrocious. Don't waste your time. Antichrist - with William Defoe is a much better horror film.Besides the crow motif, this film is nothing like the Omen films. It is at best, artistic soft porn - without much porn.

A young woman called Jordyn learns that she may be the spawn of Satan soon after she celebrates her eighteenth birthday. Soon she starts to have strange visions and encounters and becomes embroiled in a world filled with possession and desire as she learns her role in ensuring her family's curse continues........Anybody who is a fan of Argento's work will know all about the wonderful genre that is Giallo horror. Try explaining what it is to someone without coming across as a total snobbish film lover is a whole different kettle of Inferno.Giallo makes the insane sublime, the horrible ever so sexually charged, and after seeing movies such as the aforementioned Inferno, you wonder what on earth you watched, and what kind of mind it sprung from.Mark Of The Witch is a film much like that, beginning in the most uncomfortable way, and not letting up for the proceeding eighty minutes. And then it finishes, without so much as a warning.A mix of The Omen, and the work of Noé and Argento, the film doesn't conform to normality by having your atypical three acts, we follow Jordyn from each bizarre scenario, to the next, and all the while, not any character appears to be what they are.It looks beautiful, to give the film it's biggest compliment and it's Giallo's biggest cliché, it's like looking at a work of art. The camera work is beautiful, adding a depth of mystery and subliminal eroticism to the movie.My only gripe is the scenes between the aunt and the mother are something right from a really bad episode of Buffy. But it only adds to the charm.But it's not for everyone, and I fear that many people will be mislead by the cookie cutter DVD cover for the film that is obviously aimed at the masses rather than the eclectic market it should be aimed at.But who knows, some will find a gem of a movie hidden in there, but I fear that many casual horror fans will dismiss it for being action and scare lite.But it's not always about that. This is about a girl coming of age, and the split personality side of the story is about choosing which path to follow for he rest of your life, the light path, or the dark.After all, there is something pretty life affirming and mystical about your eighteenth birthday, a lot believe that when you turn that age, your life is set,and what you do in the next few weeks will beset in stone for your eternity.It's an amazing achievement of a film, one that will get under your skin for days.
