Terrible straight-to-vod attempt to draw in fans of The Craft. Awful acting, characters, writing, effects. the list goes on. Take it from a witch, you're better off avoiding this one. Grade: D
Verdict: Avoid
Basically it’s The Craft but in found footage. dull, uninteresting, badly acted and badly written. How much more unoriginal can you get? 1/10 F
October Horror Challenge 2018 Movie #36 Cribs from several pretty obvious sources, but as a whole, it's still pretty entertaining. The characters are fun and it has a sense of humor, which makes the whole thing pretty palatable. It definitely doesn't need to be found footage, but that's probably their whole unique gimmick to sell it on, and if it wasn't there the similarities to The Craft would probably bring on a lawsuit. But it's shallow, enjoyable cheese. -world's largest collection of near-30 year olds playing high schoolers

i made a whole video about how much i don’t like this movie & forgot to put it on here. anyway, this is bad.
MJ's boyfriend looks like a 35 year old hillbilly who dropped out of trucker school to date his high school girlfriend who is literally still in high school. *vomits
I'm pretty sure somewhere, a group of 3 sheets to the wind men of a certain age, stumbled across a pile of their wives' dvds. They watched HEATHERS, THE CRAFT & CARRIE, & decided to mesh the 3 together creating one of the most lacklustre films l've seen in a long time.
If you're young & have nevetmr seen any of the afore mentioned films you may enjoy this more than l did.
The characters held my interest despite my general wariness of found footage films, so I liked this. Sure, it wears its influences on its sleeve. But we live in a world that is about to see its 9th Fast and Furious film; there's room to revisit the idea of a teenage coven that takes things too far. I might feel differently if this was more of a flat-out copy. It sidesteps one of The Craft's biggest weaknesses though, deemphasizing the love interest in favor of a tighter focus on its female friendships. That's enough to earn it an extra star in my book.
This movie was kind of a servewait, don't do something crazy just for the camera. because.. nobody watches our show the wholesome girlpower witch version of Chronicle meets 90's/00's highschool witch flicks i haven't seen meets The Bling Ring 😁 more the latter two than the first, as it's predictably not as big in scale, tho it does outmatch it in its sheer excitement for filmmaking! the kind of excitement that you see from the occasional director working within a restrictive medium/genre, who is passionate enough to try to rise above the limitations set for them. in this case channeling the built-in youth appeal of a tv-movie-y production to look inwards, instead of lazily following the norm. yes we do still get the occasional dips into…
Quick Review
If you mix up Heathers, Chronicle, and The Craft, but made it far worse than you can think of complete with horrendous acting, subpar story, low-budget effects, and unnecessary use of crappy found footage. The Witch Files follows a group of high school girls as they decide to create a coven of their own. Of course, adhering to the usual standards of B-movie you can't always expect Oscar worthy performances, yet some of these female actors are surely stinky, especially the main girl's acting towards the end. Although cliché ridden and keeping up with the stereotypes of each girl in the group (nerdy, gothy, sporty, bitchy, fatty), I do admit that it's really fun to see their interactions…

Reviews for "Uncovering the Hidden Gems of the Amulet Box Set 1-9"
1. John - 2/5 stars
I was really disappointed with the Amulet box set. While the artwork was visually stunning, the story itself fell flat for me. The plot felt rushed and disjointed, jumping from one event to another without much explanation or character development. The character motivations were also unclear, and it was hard to connect with any of them. Overall, I found the set to be underwhelming and not worth the hype.
2. Emily - 2/5 stars
I had high expectations for the Amulet box set, but unfortunately, it did not meet them. The illustrations were beautiful, but that was about the only positive aspect for me. The storyline felt predictable and cliché, lacking any originality or depth. Additionally, the dialogue felt cheesy and forced, making it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the world of the story. I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in continuing with the series.
3. Sarah - 1/5 stars
I found the Amulet box set to be incredibly boring and unoriginal. The characters were one-dimensional, and the plot felt like a rehash of similar fantasy stories I've read before. The pacing was off, with certain parts of the story dragging on unnecessarily, while others felt rushed and lacking in detail. I felt no emotional connection to the characters or their journey, which made it difficult for me to care about what happened to them. Overall, I found the set to be a waste of my time.
4. Mike - 2/5 stars
As a fan of fantasy graphic novels, I was excited to try out the Amulet box set. However, I found the storyline to be confusing and hard to follow. The panels and illustrations were visually appealing, but the narrative lacked clarity and coherence. It felt like the author was trying to cram too much into the story, resulting in a messy and convoluted plot. Additionally, the character development was lacking, making it difficult for me to care about their fates. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and frustrated by the set.
