Two Witches

TWO WITCHES is the kind of modern indie horror that inevitably leaves me cold. It's low budget, small scale and entirely predictable, featuring a bland young cast who find themselves assailed by a couple of old-fashioned witches. The story is so limited that the first half cuts off to introduce a whole new milieu in the second. As with a lot of these modern films, this one's overdirected to the hilt, with OTT transitions and camera effects to try to make it scary, but of course it doesn't work. Add in some gurning actors and a few nasty moments and you have something that doesn't even come close to horror.
