Summary: Still something to check out!
Review: Anyways, I still feel for a b movie, this was a good find. Itwas violent when it needed to be, and serious and funny when need be.The special effects were ID4 worthy, but I hated that movie anyways. Unfortunatley, one of the actors died after this film was compeleted. He can also be seen in The Killer EYE: Terror Vision. as one of the guys running around in Boxer briefs. This movie has very strong point. The cast isn't bad, the makeup is good, and the witch looked great in costume. I am planning on making this the first DVD I purchase.

Summary: Decent enough movie for fans of the genre...
Review: I typically love Full Moon releases, so maybe I'm a bit biased. This movie was very reminiscent of "Night of the Demons" in certain places, so if you're a fan of that movie, you'll probably like this one too. One thing - the DVD release is listed as having 40 trailers... I only saw about 6 listed in the menu when I watched this movie. Did I miss something or was I taken?

Summary: Where are the extras?
Review: If you are a fan of Full Moon movies, or of the Night of the Demons series then this should be right up your alley. But if you have the choice between video and DVD, pick up the video instead. The packaging for this states that the extras include 40 Full Moon trailers, 2 theatrical trailers (funny since this movie was direct to video), Cast info, and a Featurette: The Making of Witchouse. What you REALLY get is 6 trailers, 34 less than advertised, lame cast bios and no Featurette. Someone over at Full Moon made a pretty big mistake and noone else there caught it. I think anyone interested in this should be aware of what you are really getting, ripped off! For the price, the DVD with the extras it has is pretty good, but since it advertises more than it delivers, the rating suffers. You're better off with the video, you'll get a few trailers, and the featurette appears after the film. You won't be missing anything.

Summary: THE PARTY IS JUST GETTING STARTED!
Review: If you love Full Moon Pictures(Subspecies series,puppet master series,witchouse2,etc.)then you'll love this!I think it is like Night of the Demons,which is also a cool movie!This is about a girl who invites her friends over for the anniversary of her ancestor's death,but then the girl's dead ancestor comes back to life and kills.There is only 2 problems,she's dead,and she's a powerful witch!Rated R for violence,language,and adult content.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: B-Movie thrills
Review: Some rich college kids who are descendants of the mob who burned those notoriously accused of witchcraft, are invited to a mysterious house by a classmate who they used to pick on in high school {the odd dark-haired, black-wearing "freak" who actually had deeper interests in life than merely getting drunk and smoking marijuana}; and there are a couple of stoner characters herein which personify this lowlife trait - as well as other pretentious suburban bunnies; but that seems to be the perfect bait; a wonderful Lair that could be appreciated by any Satanist, and are greeted by the resident mistress of the house - a gorgeous brunette in black with long-flowing garments, who subsequently invites them to participate in a seance after revealing a silver pentagram on the floor while another two disappear into the fetters of the mansion to indulge in the sacrament. The resident 'witch' lapses into a trance, summoning forth a hag-witch ancestor who incrementally preys upon the group in kind.

One by one they are dispatched and turned into zombies - their souls absorbed by the hag, until a "nerdy" couple finally confront her with the scientific method. A seeming statement of technology countering superstition. The prosthetics are average 'FX/CGI is most remarkable here, with many power bolts being thrown about. The hag is a bit cannibalistic / vampiric at times, seeking justice for being murdered. Of note, in one scene, one of the characters is whisked into the past to be in the place of the 'witch' being burned, that he may know what it feels like, by what his christian ancestors committed, was a nice touch.
This film pretty much amounts to the plethora of movies capitalizing on the 'iwtchtryal' misjustices of the christian past, although for the record, no accused 'witches' were actually burned in America, which was the modes of execution in Europe, whereas the colonies preferred the methods of including slow-hanging, dowsing, the hand vice, and various method of torture. Of course, these were not actual "witches", Satanists, etc. anyway, but victims of petty squabbled from neighbors; attractive women who refused the advances from the Witchfynders, of roving husbands that accused them of seducing them, instead of admitting to infidelity; solitary persons upon which urban legendry was projected, etc., not practicing 'witches'. That fact stated, Witchouse is pure entertainment fare, ideal for parties perhaps, but not for any serious consideration.

This film does contain the ubiquitous demoralization in the end. Good as a rental
