What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Does any one other then me know a good horror movie when they see. This is a great movie. The first Witchcraft movie is better. But still this is a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is so underrated. It is one of the scariest movies from 1989.

THE TEMPTRESS is the second in the series of enduring WITCHCRAFT films which began in the late '80s and are still being made today. There are about fifteen so far, making this a more prolific series than the likes of Friday the 13th or Halloween. Sadly most of these are junk and straight-to-video for a reason; they're simple 'erotic' horrors emphasising sexuality and nudity and not much else.A lot of them have the same boring guy in them, good warlock Charles Solomon Jr., and THE TEMPTRESS is no exception. He plays a guy trying to live an ordinary life with his girlfriend who gets into hot water when the titular character turns up on the scene. She's played by Danish model Delia Sheppard, a statuesque Brigitte Nielsen lookalike who is more than happy to flaunt her body when the situation arises.Sadly the ensuing film is trashy and uninteresting. The horror aspects are so tame and cheesy as to barely register. As for the sexual content, it's not as memorable as in those Shannon Tweed-style erotic thrillers so popular during the 1990s. THE TEMPTRESS straddles a line between boring and ridiculous, and sadly neither is a recommendation.

Seriously - I've watched a lot of horror since the age of 11 (and I'm 35 now), and there's only a few films that hurt so much that I'm actually angry after watching them. The Stink of Flesh was one such film...Zombie Nightmare was another. This film, Witchcrap 2, really got under my skin in terms of pure annoyance.I've never even seen the first film. This one has a guy (William Chugnut), and his missus (Something Bladbladia) 'making out' as they say over there, but then this Bridgit Neilson type turns up and it's all about a box and the parents know something and *eyes close* and *eyes open* there's a geek chick who finds something out and gets killed and *eyes close* and *eyes open* there's a jelly water mango on display and *eyes close* and *eyes open* - My LAST THOUGHT while viewing this film was 'please change the camera shot soon as I am going to fall asleep". This was during the scene where William's dad was describing something or other. The camera doesn't cut away to reaction shots - it's just the same shot, for about six minutes, with nothing interesting happening. Truly awful.Some hanging globes of joy on display, but that's it. This film is terrible in every respect. I really hated it.

This entry in the series takes place about eighteen years after the first one. William Churchill, the infant in that one, is now a young man by the name of William Adams preparing to go to college.In the first one, the baby was born to John and Grace Churchill, who after William was born lived with John's mother Elizabeth. John and Elizabeth turned out to be witches, who believed that William was the reincarnation (or something) of the unborn child who died when a John and Elizabeth Stocton were burned at the stake for witchcraft some 300 years ago. Whether the Churchills were the descendants of, or reincarnations of the Stoctons, or whether they somehow were the Stoctons, I'm not sure.Witchcraft II does include some footage from the first film in a number of scenes, and could probably stand on its own, but it's probably better to start with the first one. The other titles in the series have less continuity, though Will returns in all except parts 8 and 10.This one does skip over some of the things that happened in between the movies. What happened to Grace Churchill isn't clear. Presumably the Adams family lived in Texas for a time, because Charles Solomon as Will has a definite accent, even more pronounced in the next two films he appeared in. Most of the actors who portray Will in the later films lack that accent, though.Elizabeth Churchill (I think it was her, anyway) changes herself into Dolores Jones (Danish Penthouse Pet Delia Sheppard), a neighbor of the Adams. She wears black, a pentagram ring and necklace, and a silver snake belt and bracelet. Somehow, other witches don't realize she's a witch in spite of this. She makes some seductive moves towards Will, which if she is his mother/grandmother is disturbing, but she is a servant of Satan after all.Dolores interrupts Will when he's making out with his girlfriend Michelle Cross, a preacher's daughter. He finds a mysterious package containing what seems to be a silver ashtray with Latin inscriptions on it. His parents know what it is and means, but don't tell him. They expect two more packages to arrive.Will begins to learn more about where he came from, and people in his life start dying.There's an odd The Entity-style rape in one scene (though with underwear on). It was unclear to me who was responsible. There's a few rapes in the series (e.g. pimps raping hookers), but not another one like this until Witchcraft XI: Sisters in Blood (2000), which is also an odd one tied to witchcraft.The first part, unless it exists in more than one version, featured no nudity or sex scenes. This one features some, from both Michelle and Dolores, but no more than the amount of gratuitous nudity one might expect in a horror movie. Later titles in the series gravitated towards erotic horror, with some scenes feeling like softcore, even featuring some full frontal nudity.This isn't a great movie, but it is fairly entertaining, and it's not as slow as the first one.
