Audience Member Yambaó aka Cry of the Bewitched could have been a passable movie if the filmmakers would have played up some of the more theoretically good aspects of the script, the horror or eroticism or they could have reversed course after seeing how terrible the acting was and turned it into a deadpan comedy. Instead they stuck with it and we end up with a boring melodrama. The lowlights are the endless musical numbers and the one highlight would be the unexpected ending. Only watch the Rifftrax version. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member To say that Yambao is a strange movie would be an understatement. It would also be an understatement to state that it's a bad movie. Starring a cast of mainly unknown faces, this strange movie fell between the cinema cracks and disappeared into obscurity. That is, until home video came along and revived it, thanks to the sudden surge of people loving on bad or obscure movies. Now when I say "revived," I don't mean that it has a massive following now. Most people reading this will have undoubtedly already seen the Rifftrax version, which wasn't able to conjure up very many laughs at all. The plot involves a group of villagers and a witch, whom has her eye on the white man in town. Unfortunately, he's already spoken for, so using her witchy ways, she finds the way to get to his heart. I'm making it sound more interesting than it really is, so don't be fooled. It's not a very good movie and if it had been left in obscurity, few people would have cared.
