I saw Return to Witch Graveyard last week and here is my review that will contain some spoilers!
The film starts off with Jonathan who is one of the lead characters filming a segment for one of his television shows which are 13 Nights of Halloween and Friday Nights With Jonathan about the crying trees!
Back at the studio we meet one of his co workers a woman called Maya who is awaiting the arrival or her friend Noelle, when she arrives they are put under pressure by their demanding boss to complete and film an assignment with a Halloween theme about witches which must be completed the same day. Jonathan is asked for some advice but seems more distracted by watching certain things he shouldn't on his laptop.
The first point of call for Maya and Noelle is to go to the woods for any information for their assignment. They speak to a man named Lance who says his sister went missing in the woods recently and after he departs meets an untimely end!
As Maya continues researching for the project Noelle goes out and shortly afterwards a woman named Mae enters the studios. She claims that she is a descendant of Mary Young,one of thirteen women who were accused of being witches and were either buried or murdered in the 1600's. Once she has told Jonathan and Maya her story she then says she can prove the theory by taking them to the cemetery where the witches have been laid to rest. Jonathan declines the offer to do more filming and Maya and Noelle go with her instead.
There is a long scene where the three main ladies (Maya,Noelle and Mae) are walking through the woods to go to the cemetery. I enjoyed this scene because along with the music and no dialogue it was made very atmospheric and their was some great camera shots to go with it. After Maya and Noelle fall out with Mae all three women go their separate ways and then everything starts to take a much more dark and sinister turn.
Jonathan is trying to look for his co workers along with a friend whom he asks for help and before long all of them are trying their best to get out of the woods alive and escape the witches. One by One each character goes through different and sometimes strange experiences when either coming face to face with the witches or when trying to reach salvation. Even one of the later death scenes involving a lead character is carried out off screen it later reveals the most bloody aftermath out of all the scenes of the movie!
I would have liked to hear more screams in the film at times,seen a little more violence and I would have preferred the running time to have been more than an hour long. However there were many thing I appreciated from watching this film from all the hidden messages and references to the directors previous work,music,character development,storyline,creativeness, and a twist ending.
Definitely a film for fans to see along with Witch Graveyard and you should be pleasantly surprised.
I would give this film 7 out of 10.
