Review of Season of the Witch (2011) by Joshcampbell — 01 Dec 2011

They picked a good location I'll give it that but that won't help that much considering how bad this movie really was. I would call it a supernatural thriller that is not that thrilling. It looks cheaply made, you can tell by how Nicolas Cage is speaking, he always seems to be shouting.

I'll put it this way; costumes production and design are good. Editing and visual effects are definitely not. The cinematography was crude with the film being dark, dusty and foggy in almost every scene.

The dialogue wasn't bad but the fact that it changes from Let's drink to Kill her doesn't really make it well played out. It has a B movie aesthetic to it. The film was pieced together terribly with bad cliche's.

They put the genre of the movie in between horror and historical thriller, a mix that doesn't go together really well. They made the movie too long by putting unneeded dialogue and bad special effects that delay the overall story line.

Cut out all that and it might just catch somebodies eye without them leaving the movie theatre with a frown on their face.
