If you pretend for the first 65 minutes it helps.

Third Coast Review

As it goes on, The Candy Witch spirals into confusion and increasingly ramped-up violence, while simultaneously meandering through life as if it has nowhere to be in anything resembling a hurry.

Rated: 1.5/4

Flickering Myth

There are some sugary-sticky kills to behold, but the overall narrative is a mess of generic haunted house beats with no creative identity.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

Matthews is attached to several other projects in varying forms of production, and if they are all as assuredly helmed as here, then she'll become a genre auteur to keep an eye out for. Let's just hope she attaches herself to a better screenplay.

Rated: 5/10

Assignment X

A fairly straight-faced English ghost story, with good jump scares and a pleasingly dark atmosphere.

Rated: B

The Blogging Banshee

The Candy Witch tries to tell an interesting story, but ultimately can't overcome the holes in the plot.

Rated: 4.5/10

Bad acting and the storyline was awful. There were scenes that were dragged out far to long and a lot of pointless scenes. Time is precious so I wouldn't was it on watching this awful movie. It's definitely in my top 3 worst movies I have seen.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
