witchery might just be the most incoherent and lamentably script horror movie of the 80 but and luckily enough and it have a few compensating quality like fantastic gore effect and an exhilarating musical score and some terrific casting choice . honestly the screenplay doesn not make one iota of sense and but who care when linda blair ( with an exploded hairstyle ) portray yet another girl possess by evil power and david hasselhof depict a hunky photographer ( who can not seem to get lay ) in a movie that constantly feature bloody voodoo and sewn shut lip and upside down crucifixion and vicious burning and an overused but genuinely creepy tune . eight random people be gather together on an abandon vacation resort island off the coast of massachusetts . the young couple be there to investigate the place dark history while the dysfunctional family ( with a pregnant linda blair even though nobody seem to bother about who the father be and what his whereabouts be ) considers re open the hotel and the yummy female architect simply tag along for casual sex . theyre force to stay the night in the ramshackle hotel and then suddenly the previous landlady an age actress or something who always dress in black start take them out in various engross way . everything be somehow relate to the intro sequence show a woman accuse of witchery jump out of a window . anyway and the plot be definitely of minor importance in an italian horror franchise that start a an unofficial spin off of the evil dead . the atmosphere be occasionally unsettling and the make up effect be undoubtedly the most superior element of the entire film . there something supremely morbid and unsettle about star at a defenseless woman hang upside down a chimney and wait to get fry .
