Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Witch Files is an interesting watch and the film is something teens with an interest in witch-related entertainment should enjoy. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson The Twisted Girl Next Door The Witch Files although going the overdone- and unnecessary- found footage route, actually tells an engrossing fantasy drama story with fun characters.

Bruce M An uninteresting 90 minutes; if you've seen the much better "The Craft," you've seen this. The actresses are okay, but the movie is boring and ultimately fails for two reasons: again, we've seen this story many times before, and, more importantly, why is it being told "found footage" style, even to the extent that the witch on the back of a broom is recording her flight? Why do two characters each have video cameras that are on ALL THE TIME, even in the bathroom? If the lead character has her camera running all the time, why the directorial decision to cut to closed circuit video feeds (in a store, in a diner, in a hospital room) to transition between scenes? It's not a terrible movie, but clearly is for the tween market, and casting obviously- 20-somethings as high school students is never a good idea. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is just awful. It's super boring, the characters are lame, and the plot is almost the same as The Craft. This is definitely not a movie I recommend. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a "good" film. Bad acting. Bad camera work. Bad visual effects.... BUT it's a fun ride so long as you don't take it seriously. So bad it's good! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member If you've never heard of The Craft this movie might seem like an original spin on the genre instead of it being a saccharine version of a classic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not great, but it was fun. In the scheme of movies about teen witches who learn dark things, it's a solid middle lane. I've definitely seen worse, so this was a fun way to pass the time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing buut not in like the way you think.
