A highly enjoyable genre effort

After arriving at a prestigious university, a woman falls in with a secretive society on campus that initiates her into their witch family like them, only to find that she's inadvertently released a powerful demonic entity on the group and has to use her powers to stop it and keep them safe.Overall, this was a pretty decent genre effort. One of the finer aspects to be had here is the rather fine setup to be had with the whole affair taking place alongside some solid storylines. The usual rhetoric of the former accused witch burned at the stake and placing a curse over the area is a serviceable enough starting point, which carries over into the new girl arriving at the college and bringing about immediate interest from the others on campus and put through the initiation rites that puts them in danger once they realize what's going on by inducting her and her powers into their society. This is done quite well and manages to have a lot to like with this going alongside the various interactions around the campus. That starting point allows the film to come off rather nicely when dealing with the escaped witch and the trials that ensue. Focusing on the idea that she's inadvertently released the figure during the numerous initiation rituals that take place, it finally allows for the stellar final half where the sinister entity arrives. While this is a rather underwhelming motive with a lackluster motivation for everything, that still manages to generate some truly effective and chilling stalking scenes as it changes rather nicely into a slasher film during this part. Utilizing the stealth of the killer striking unexpectedly within the nearly impenetrable darkness of a heavy fog around the area, the tortures and action here are genuinely exciting which not only keep the excitement going but also feature some solid gore in the brutal kills to go along with a clever trick to stop it. These elements bring about a lot to like overall as there aren't too many issues here, but it does have some minor flaws. One of the bigger drawbacks is the films' laid-back pacing that focuses more on their sisterhood and bonding that it doesn't have a lot of time to really enjoy the witch's rampage. With this mainly relegated to the final half once it's been released, the time until then focuses on the group going through their ordeals bringing them into the fold which doesn't have a lot of action for the most part. It's really for the better since the majority of the scenes here are so badly illuminated with scores of fog around the woods where they're staying that it's nearly impossible to make out what's happening in a way that makes it just as frustrating as suspenseful for the characters. These factors are what tend to bring this one down the most.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Cruelty to Digital Media!

I have no idea why this wasn't set in the US and acted by Americans!English Universities generally do not have shared rooms, nor are Deans responsible for student discipline or communication; neither do they have sorority style societies ruling the roost.Add that to an excruciating script, appalling direction, amateur acting and a baffling storyline, the premise of which seems to be hinting at a complex battle of misdirected evils but ends up being an excuse for mediocre special effects.All interspersed with American sayings and not a Yorkshire accent to be heard!If your thing is to watch moderately attractive girls wear hideous (truly revolting) white dresses and get picked off one by one in yawn-makingly boring ways, then go ahead and watch this film.I'm off to watch some paint dry instead!
