Why did I go see this movie?

No, that is not a rethorical question, I really want to know what possessed me to see this movie. Typical teenage fest which held no promise and only had a witchy twist to go for it. Even after seeing the previews I ended up seeing this flick, and while I know some of you are fans of watching movies like this just because you are in love with watching teenage girls in skimpy clothes (I won’t mention any names but you guys know who you are) I do not consider myself in that group. Yes there was some very nice shots of nude backs and girls in panties and girls with hardly anything on…but it hardly is enough to save this movie from the pit of retardation it has tossed itself into.

The idea is that, five families of witches have lived secretly in the North East, passing their power to their eldest son. Four of them, all good friends, have been gifted with a certain amount of their power, waiting for the day of their ascention on their 18th birthday when their powers fully form. Some use their powers responsibly and others don’t, though it really does not matter, because the film holds no consequences in the end, when the fifth son returns and seeks to take out the oldest of the witches…or whatever they are.

Seriously, this movie sucks, about as bad as “The Skulls” or any other flick along this genre you can think of. Bad acting all around, horrible dialogue, bad storytelling as a whole, and even the powers the characters have are lame. They seriously failed to stretch their creative muscles with this one. And so, what you end up with is a sad film with a handful of T&A scenes and nothing else. So yeah, I want my money back.

Rating: 1 out of 5
Notes: Brief nudity, some adult content, some language, overdone teenage angst and drama.
