Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

... View MoreBeing wiccan myself I somewhat look forward to good witch movies and to say the least this was pure crap. If I'd known this was a weak independent movie with almost no budget I would have passed on it. As seeing as the title caught my attention I decided to give it a try.The acting was horrible and you can almost smell the director attempt to pull off the "hot Gothic witch" vibe from The Craft during the beach walk scene that ended up ( like the last reviewer said) a 5 min music video of them walking across the beach. Not to mention the lead witch was breath-taking UGLY! I have so many bad things to say about this movie, and the ending didn't make a lick of sense. All I have to say, if you are looking for a good horror flick this isn't it. Don't watch it on TV, don't even rent it from netflick ( like I did), its is just really bad.
... View MoreDavid DeCoteau has a reputation for making terrible movies, but this takes the cake for pure wretchedness.A teenage girl (who looks about 26) is sent to a tropical island resort for troubled youths following the tragic death of her mother. There she starts having reoccurring dreams about a woman accused of being a witch and sentenced to burn at the stake in the 16th century. Soon after she meets another troubled "teenage" girl who shares the same dream. It was at this point that I lost what little track I had of the plot, and the movie lost what marginal sense it possessed. I think the girl is actually supposed to be the reincarnation of the witch who was burned to death, and the other kids on the island are in some kind of Satanic cult who want to lure her in and sacrifice her for some reason or other. Or something.This movie has all of DeCoteau's trademark elements: homo-eroticism, bad acting, shallow characters, pointless montages, gratuitously repeated scenes from earlier in the movie, nearly nonexistent plot, etc, etc, etc.All the characters were unsympathetic, and is some cases downright obnoxious, cardboard stereotypes: the "jock", the "sensitive guy", the "goth chick", the "country girl", the "hippie girl".This movie has no merit and no redeeming qualities for humanity whatsoever.I feel cheated out of the $3.00 I spent to rent it, and the 90 minutes of my life I wasted in watching it! Avoid at all risks!
... View MoreSome troubled youths stay on a Caribbean island with a counselor, and they all have dreams about a witch who had been burnt to death there years earlier. One of them is a witch, though for some reason people insist on saying that she "says" she's a witch or "believes" she's a witch, which is silly.There's little to recommend this at all. It's terribly dull. Endless conversations that serve no purpose. Scenes in which there's a montage of scenes which came earlier, which serve no purpose in being repeated except to pad out the running time. The guys take their shirts off more than once. The ladies don't. A bad movie like this needs gratuitous nudity; that doesn't make the movie better particularly, it just makes it a bad movie with nudity, which is generally preferable to a bad movie without it.There are some apparent deaths in which hearts are grabbed out of the chest. Somehow, this creates huge spurts of blood that go all over the face of the now heartless person. Somehow, these people are able to scream well after their hearts are ripped out. I suppose that's the power of witchcraft.Some of the powers of witchcraft, incidentally, are depicted by the use of green light. Very cheesy. It either shoots out of objects hitting people, or makes eyes glow or whatnot.Supposedly this was shot on the Turks and Caicos Islands, a UK territory that had been part of their Jamaican colony. However, the locations are wasted so much they might as well have shot it on the California coast and pretended it was the Caribbean.
... View MoreEvery now and then, I see a film advertised in the TV guide that I'll see for no other reason than the title sounds interesting. Believe it or not, I thought that 'Witches of the Caribbean' sounded interesting. I'm a fan of witch related films, as they often make for good horror and the Caribbean setting was leading me to believe that this might offer something in the way of originality. Any hopes I had for the movie were quickly dashed, however, when I found out that the film was directed by David DeCoteau; a man that has made a whole host of straight-to-video rubbish, including the awesomely bad 'Wolves of Wall Street'. Really, though, all I wanted from this film was some decent magic done by some hot Goth girls in a nice setting. It's safe to say, however, that I didn't even get that. What I did get is a severely under imaginative movie with a cast that is about as impressive as the film's setting - which looks more like a UK holiday resort on a bad day than the Caribbean.The plot stinks of "cant be bothered" and follows the dull and overly familiar idea of a witch being burnt at the stake, only to be reincarnated centuries later. Not that there's a big problem with this sort of plot; several films, such as Mario Bava's Black Sunday and Roger Corman's The Haunted Palace have took that theme and made it work; but both of those movies had something about them, whereas this one clearly does not. The cast of actors doesn't help the film in it's bid to be successful, as none of them stand out enough to make any kind of lasting impression. The only impression made on any level is just that the actors are irritating; the lead witch, Nicole Marie Monica, being the foremost irritating member of the cast. The special effects are just as bad as the rest of the film, and once again feel like whoever was in charge had something more important on their mind. The awful ending tops off what is a bad movie on the whole and I can tell that if you ever see this film in your TV guide and think it might be worth a watch...think again.
