WITCHOUSE is a typical witch-seeks-revenge movie from Full Moon Pictures.In this effort, an descendant of the witch in question invites the descendants of those who killed her to a party, where she intends to kill them off.As anyone who has seen Full Moon movies knows, they are very much hit-and-miss. They have produced some real low-budget gems such as DEATHBED, BLEED and CASTLE FREAK. But there are also lesser works such as PUPPETMASTER or SKINNED ALIVE in their portfolio.WITCHOUSE is one of the worst offerings I have seen from them. It is said to be a rip-off of NIGHT OF THE DEMONS. I have seen that movie myself. It is not much better but the comparisons are not far wrong.Believe it or not, I actually saw the second sequel to WITCHOUSE, WITCHOUSE 3: DEMON FIRE beforehand. The sequel, whilst far from being great, is much better than the plodding waste of time that the original comprises of.The individual scenes along with the dialogue are actually not that bad. It is the execution, particularly the acting, that is the major problem.The worst actress of the lot is Ashley McKinney. Elizabeth should have been creepy and sinister. But Miss McKinney's portrayal was lifeless. The séance scene where Elizabeth tells the "guests" about Lilith just seemed to go on and on. She uttered every line in a very monotonous manner, without emotion or energy.The villainess of the piece - Lilith - as depicted here is one of the most laughable creations I have seen. She is much more menacing in DEMON FIRE, where she has a COMPLETELY different appearance and is played by a different actress.The protagonists are dull, uninteresting teenagers who are clearly played by actors well into their 20s. Brad and Maria are a sex-craved couple who do nothing but that. Scott was the "nerd" who did not seem the least bit scared of anything. Tony was an absolute moron. Janet was an annoying tomboy. Jack was an unlikely hero. And Jennifer was just plain dull.The direction is flat and the special effects are lousy. I know this is a mega low-budget movie. But this is no excuse. DEMON FIRE does better on a budget that is stated on this site to be just $26,000. The latter movie includes a strobe lighting effect that is very effective.The background music should have been ominous but instead just added to the dreary tone of the camera-work.Oh, and if you're looking for nudity, you're certainly in the wrong place!Overall, WITCHOUSE is an incredibly dull witch-seeks-revenge movie. I would advise people to skip this one. I don't know what WITCHOUSE 2 is like but WITCHOUSE 3: DEMON FIRE is certainly a better movie than the original. I would recommend the latter movie to fans of Full Moon or straight-to-DVD horror movies. I would advise others to check out a British movie called TERROR, directed by Norman J. Warren. This creepy, atmospheric and suspenseful movie demonstrates how a witch-seeking-revenge movie should be done!

This Movie is my favorite movie in the whole world it's awesome. You half to see this film you can buy it very cheap on Amazon.com or Half.com this film has awesome make-up effects on all the actors like Lilith (Ariana Albright) the witch. My 2nd favorite Actress plays a Rebel named Janet (Brooke Mueller) on this film I give this movie a 100 out of 10 (LOL) there is a Witchouse 2 and it is pretty cool not as cool as Witchouse 1 tho.. The thing I dislike about Witchouse 2 is there is no returning Actors such as (Brooke Mueller) Except the Witch Lilith Lefay and the Witch does not look the same as on the first Witchouse but it is also cool because the Witch is played by the same Actress as the first one,and the 2nd one continues the story from the first one.

Most comments I have read about Witchouse aren't too good. Most people find it to be a poorly done B-movie. Well, yes, it is a bad B-movie. With a budget of $250,000 this movie has some very nice sets and the costume for Lilith was impressive. The first time I saw this movie I had to have it. I love bad b-movies. Especially by Full Moon. Why, I don't know!!!! Just recently I purchased it. I I can't wait to see Witchouse 2: Blood Coven due out in July 2000.Witchouse is set in a creepy old mansion of the same name. A young girl brings together a group of friends from College for a "special night". They are to celebrate "May Day" which is really a Wiccan holiday. However, they are using it as a day of evil and black magic. Elizabeth has brought the group together so that her ancestor Lilith may kill them to avenge her execution (burned at the stake) for Witchcraft 300 year before. The guests are all descendants of the people that killed her.That is all I will say.. Check this out, it does have it's moments. A moment of silence for one actor in the movie. David Oren Ward. After filming this movie, he was Stabbed to death during a automobile accident in California. He was only about 28. He is the stoner guy in the movie. He was also in The Killer EYE, which was truly a garbage movie.4 out of 10

One of the few Full Moon videos that fails in all areas.Most of their movies have interesting characters good atmoshere, some blood &gore a bit of sex and nudity etc. Witchouse first off looks like a set, not a real place, the characters aren't fleshed out and the scares are no where to be found.The gore is very mild and dosn't come close to looking real. The only interesting scenes are a couple of what looks a view into hell they are weird.
