The Coven (2015) 3/10

Starring : Dexter Fletcher, Cloe Mackie, Holly Mackie, Mark Harris, Tony O’Callaghan, Howard Lee, Magda Rodriguez
Director : John Mackie
Running Time : 87 mins

Five friends decide to go camping in the woods so that they can witness a pagan ritual, but little do they know that the witchcraft in the area is real.

Well, what can I say? This was pretty awful. The acting was bad, the writing was bad, the directing was bad, everything about it was bad. People have referred to this as a found footage movie, but it isn’t even clever enough to be that. If you have a sense of humour and can find fun in watching god awful films, then you might enjoy this, but even then you might get put off by the unexplained ending and the ridiculously cheap special effects. I know, this cost less than a million pounds to make (barely a million dollars), but that’s no excuse for bad storytelling, and claiming something is based on true events doesn't make them any less boring.
