13 Witches (2012)

I was actually enjoying the movie. Even though the quality was pretty crappy through half the movie. Plus, for something "Unrated & Uncensored" I did expect some nudity! Not just really crappy gore! Now if this is supposed to be the pilot movie to a TV Series, then it makes sense. Because then then story would continue in the TV Series. But if not, then the ending was really stupid!!! Because it doesn't end!!! Nothing that is supposed to happen, happens!!! They are only a third of the way done with what they need to do! According to the blog, it was an 18 episode web-series. It definitely needs to continue with normal 30-60 min episodes!

This series is nothing more than a set-up for low budget porno films without the actual pay-off of sex... How they got a budget of $100.000 is beyond me, because they definitely didn't spend the money on decent audio or a proper script, I mean; the dialogue is excruciatingly painful to listen to. The camera work is basic and the editing is as if it was done by a first timer. The only positive thing I can say about this series is that the actresses are easy on the eyes, but this is once again cheapened by the choice of wardrobe that one would only expect to find in a porno and add no value whatsoever to the story. In short, watching the pilot was a huge waste of time and did not merit a follow up.

If you are looking for a really good revenge, sci-fi show, this is the one to watch. It has really good story lines and definitely keeps your attention. The beautiful women in the show doesn't hurt either. If you are fans of shows like Charmed or other shows that involve supernatural beings, then definitely give this one a watch. It also has a mystery and drama aspect to it that keeps you guessing and wondering what is going on. Then you just can't help but to watch what happens next! You can definitely see that this storyline had a lot of thought put into it and leaves you wanting more. If you want a good watch and want to see a show that will keep your interest, 13 Witches is definitely worth your time.

Where do I even start? I don't know where the alleged $100,000 budget was spent, but it obviously wasn't on the actual production of this web series (perhaps on internet marketing sites to beef up the show's "popularity").From the incomprehensible storyline and poor writing, to the amateurish direction, 13 Witches is a train wreck from start to finish. I lost count of the number of times the camera crossed the axis, and how randomly each shot seemed to be composed.What few competent actors seemed to be involved (and there were VERY FEW) were completely hampered by a terrible script, that I doubt even they could decipher. Seriously, I watched all 18 episodes, and I have NO idea what was going on. It got more unintelligible with each instalment.Costume design and art direction were sadly lacking as well. You can have strong, empowered, sexy women without dressing them all like Hookers. For me, the costumes actually detracted from the supposed strength and power of the female characters. And if Nemsis lived in a grand castle, why did it look so much like a bunch of random apartments? Most of the above could be somewhat forgiven as an amateur web series if the sound wasn't so bad. Half of the time I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying, because their voices were too low, and often drowned out by background noise. Maybe next time spend a little of that $100,000 on proper sound equipment instead of internet bots to boost your ratings.And if you're going to name your characters after Goddesses, maybe try and get it right - it's Persephone, not Persephore.In closing, there's not much in the way of redeeming content when it comes to 13 Witches. It's written like porn, shot like porn, acted like porn, but lacks the payoff of getting to see anybody naked. So unless you want a lesson in how NOT to make a web series, I'd skip this all together, and seek out some of the more worthy content out there, because 13 Witches is just plain awful from start to finish.
