Leofwine_draca I've just watched four WITCHCRAFT films in a row and I'm pleased to say that this was the last one for now. I'm glad as I don't think I could take much more of this nonsense without wanting to tear my eyeballs out. DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ties with a couple of the others as the worst this pointless series has to offer; you know it must be had when even the main star, Charles Solomon Jr., doesn't come back and has to be played by somebody else.DANCE WITH THE DEVIL tells the usual nonsense story about the devil collecting souls via an evil warlock with murder in mind. The young Chinese guy who directs it seems to have little idea about the basics of film-making because this is a near-unwatchable mess with poor lighting and hardly any kind of sets throughout.The script is particularly awful, full of pointless swearing which the wooden cast members shout at every opportunity. I was tempted to watch it on mute. Once again there's barely any kind of horror to speak of, instead the director is more interested in shooting his actresses in various topless scenes. Some of them are unsurprisingly sporting scars from their plastic surgery so it's not really very erotic, just a chore to sit through.

Big Squirrel There are some films you watch and think that was bad and you forget them. After being forced to watch this I can say the effects of viewing this are still haunting me several months on.I watched this on the off chance it was some cheap slasher series but in turned out to be some crappy low budget soft-core sex romp.Strange weird warlock dude takes over some people and makes them do what he wants, which seems to be engaging in soft porn rituals. I think someone killed him at the end, or perhaps that was the shock of waking up when the movie had ended.To think they have made another 8 after this.

FieCrier Beautiful blonde Marta pretends to be a hooker, while her boyfriend knocks the john over the head so they can steal all his money. Unfortunately, he was hit too hard and killed, so they drag his body to their car. Unfortunately, they also get into an accident in which they hit a wino in the road. They speed off, but Reverend Meredith and his assistant were driving by in their limo and stop to help. Something flies out of the wino into the Reverend, possessing him.Meanwhile, Marta and her boyfriend break down in the woods, and come across a man at a fire. He seems to be crazy, but in fact he's Cain, a powerful servant of Satan who collects souls of transgressors. He kills the boyfriend and makes Marta his servant.Lawyer/reluctant warlock Will Spanner returns from previous titles in this series. He and his girlfriend/fiancé Keli (her first appearance in this series, I think, but a recurring character hereafter) go to a nightclub where Cain hypnotizes Will.Cain has Marta seduce Will in his sleep, and thereafter is able to use Will to collect souls for him. Cain seems to be so powerful, it's unclear why he needs Will at all. Keli gets Rev. Meredith to try to help Will, since he's become violent with her. He brings along Anastasia, a German-speaking Christian gypsy witch of some kind. She's not very powerful, unfortunately, and while Will is a powerful warlock, he's deeply in denial about his powers and also about the fact that something is happening to him.There are a number of nude and sex scenes, as usual. There's one in the shower of Will's home which is unusual if only for the size of the shower. It seems they're remodeling their home and haven't finished the bathroom, so the shower is really a showerhead attached to a wall in a big stonewalled room. The house, by the way, or at least the front hall of it, seems to be the same one used in Witchcraft 8: Salem's Ghost (1996), the only title in the series without any of the recurring characters or any reference to Will Spanner. Or perhaps there happen to be a lot of houses with front doors that have a large oval pane of glass in them, and a staircase with one turn in it.Special effects are fairly cheap again as usual, although an effect with which the white of Will's eyes flash whiter is better than some of the other ones in which characters' entire eyes turn bring red or blue. The effect of souls being passed to Cain, however, is very cheesy.

Rish Outfield This was a simple and stupid film. An evil warlock tries to collect enough damned souls (using naked women in various ways to achieve this means) to bring the devil to earth. He uses this super-hot blonde lass (one of many throughout) to get a young warlock to do his bidding, and... Do I have to describe this to you? Many times the dialogue was laughably bad, and the special effects were cry-ably bad. The plot was so thin many times I forgot what was supposed to be happening. But there was a lot of naked, gyrating flesh, and be honest, that's why someone would check this out. Isn't it? It was all so rushed and amateurish and cheap, but, unlike the first "Witchcraft" (which had all those qualities), I kinda liked this one. And why not? It wasn't unspeakably bad. The women were attractive. I didn't go into looking for "Halloween," or even "Halloween 5," so I enjoyed the heaving bosoms and barely-memorized lines. If you're one of those people who like this kind of stuff, you will too.
