My Review

Movie opens with bulldozer going over graves that indeed enough to wake something evil the old guy tries to warn him not too it but when it comes to money he won’t stop later he goes back to graveyard and that when we hear something Is waking up in grave the music is creepy also they show the grave started to open but did not show her yet. Later on guy talks to old lady about Symbol on the grave and when finds out what it is his face reaction was indeed priceless he knows he woke something up that is indeed evil and worst then we see witch standing there pretty good makeup on Actress there to make her look like a witch there she look creepy and she look like she ready to raise hell on anybody who woke her up.

So does she slowing goes after them only 1 death in first few mins when she awake but this good you want to slowing build her up to be badass witch later this what I hope they then later on witch strikes again with a lady driving her car over the hill but too me it didn’t look like a deep hole but she did crash so guess it count so how do stop a witch that can pop up anywhere without you notice not sure she is one heck of witch she can play with mind making things you see but is not real.

Then as movie goes on later We see Drones in suits worship I think the witch and Surprise it some of people from at start not sure but I think they could be under witch spell and now form a cult with witch or maybe they are against her not I was hope that but his smile show he is working with her.

So what did I think of last 19 mins the guys go down looking for his girlfriend they do find Tracy tie up Dazed so they did Escape but in the end it was tough watching guy see the one he loved burn 🔥 up figure it would that way and it did.

This was not a bad horror movie good not best the witch had easy part look like she didn’t even talk most of her powers was claw or playing mind tricks on you that was it do say the makeup on her look ok for a old movie she was little creepy also acting was very good as well and it ended the way I thought it would see many movies where fire kills witches and this one show for a old horror movie again it is not bad I would give her a few more powers to make her powerful and I would do something with that ending as well but it is a old movie so I understand they went for ending not worst but did end ok for a not bad movie.

I give Witchcraft (1964) a rating of 7/10 for good
