A generally underwhelming and not that interesting genre effort

Arriving at a remote mansion, a woman begins to look over the property she's just inherited with her friends, which highlights the fabled witch rumored to live at the house, who whispers torments to people, which puts her daughter in jeopardy when she realizes it's been released.This was a disappointing and somewhat bland genre effort. Among the better features of this one is the central idea that manages to bring about some intriguing potential for the scenarios to come. The idea of the house being used by the family to raise their new child once they inherit the property which lets them become aware of the history there where the witch is said to haunt the house with the ability to whisper influencing threats and taunts to the family hoping to disrupt their everyday lives, which has a lot to work with. The fact that they become completely different figures while living in the house, who are far different towards their treatment of the daughter and her baby, arguing or being confrontational with each other, and generally acting as if under supernatural control. With a solid enough series of revelations about the cause of that, interacting with the discovery of the various factors in the basement and bringing about the kind of haunted house moments inside the idea of the witch haunting everything that gives this some chilling moments at times. There are a few big issues holding this one down. The main factor to be had with this one is the generally lazy and overly familiar types of tropes found here, which are just plain difficult to get past. The first half to this one going through so many familiar and expected elements, from the struggle to acclimate to the new property to the marital struggles between the husband and wife, who are both struggling to adapt to the daughter and her new child to the point of ignoring pretty much every signal available telling them to get out of the house. Since it relies on a series of issues usually found with this kind of story, they're not that interesting and just make this feel all the more bland and dull when compared to the equally lifeless, daunting scenes. These also replay the same tired tropes of something emerging out of the darkness with a bang, so it wears out its welcome rather quickly. When it's all combined with a cheap attempt at a glossy, structured look with weak CGI and goofy effects that aren't that realistic, there are some big issues that hold this back.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, and children-in-jeopardy.

Move Witch ...

... get out the way ... get out the way Witch ... well you know the rest, so no pun intended (maybe you don't know the song I am referring to, never mind that then). I am not sure if this will work for you - I do know however that you should not watch the dubbed version of it - the streaming service I watched had it only in English .. clearly this was not filmed in English (not all of it at least).So a lot gets lost in translation - literally. On the other hand, the mood is there, the horror can be felt ... and I don't think it would have been that much better ... it is predictable and anyone who has seen a horror movie or two will not be impressed too much ... or at all. Still those who watch a lot (like me), will get something out of it.
