Nothing like the look of pleather....

Renting b-movies is always a gamble, sometimes it pays off with an underrated gem or in the other case (this was a prime example) you bring home a real bucket of "Grade Z" fertilizer.

***IF YOU'RE STILL READING THIS THEN BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** (as if anyone cares)....

Opening scene. Two cops? Witch hunters? We're never told EXACTLY what they are, but they're out to bust up a coven of baddies dressed in really bad pleather (hence the summary) jackets. With guns drawn they break in on some kind of supposed satanic? (later we learn they're witches, but could you blame two guys with $1.99 haircuts for being concerned?) ritual where a young girl looks as if she's about to be sacrificed. Anyway.. bang.. bang.. One "good" guy ends up dead (sucking chest wound I believe) and being the good natured guy the surviving partner is he adopts the would-be six year-old sacrifice, Rebeccah. Suspending disbelief is extremely important if you're going to buy that someone can blow away most (we save that element for later) of a coven of ham-handed thespians... I mean witches... and then whisk the "sacrifice" away and adopt her WITHOUT alerting the authorities, ie. John Q. Law. Wow... the six year-old daughter that magically (no pun intended) appears out of nowhere.

Skip ahead... 12 years... More pleather...

Rebeccah is now 18 years old and seems well-adjusted, but what dark secrets lie underneath that shovel-faced posterior, I mean exterior (they both look the same)? Well, a supposedly hunkish (my wife thought so anyway) guy (turns out he's a Warrior Warlock) named Roman starts showing up with information about her REAL family (also that Rebeccah is a Grand Am(?),the most pure essence of both a witch and a warlock and he needs to mate with her)... yada..yada..yada.. Roman then bestows on her a "magical amulet" (more of a rodeo belt buckle on a chain) that allows her the ability to amplify her energy and control objects, people, toilets, etc. After being drawn into Roman's world of evil, sex, gratuitous nudity, manipulation, crapola graphic violence and more pleather than you can shake a satin hanger at start occurring at an alarming rate. In the end, Rebeccah's "sister" (remember, Rebeccah is adopted) saves the day, more or less, with some athletic martial arts moves (think of The Matrix, except with a .99 budget). Well, Rebeccah's sister dies and now Rebeccah has the choice: Use her powers to reverse what is done and end up sacrificing herself in the process OR join Roman in his evil plot to control the world's supply of pleather? You'll have to watch to find out... OK... she sacrifices herself... See, I did you a service and saved you from the agony of actually watching it and wasting 90 minutes that you could've spent spackling a wall or re-grouting the tile around your bathroom sink.

Did I mention that there's at least (2) sex scenes in this movie? Of course the downside is that we have to endure Rebeccah nude (quite a bit actually) instead of her much-better-looking sister. The other other downside is that we have to see her (adopted) brother practically buck naked too... blah... I had to wash out my eyes with Drano after seeing that.

If there was a rating lower than 1*, this movie would have earned it in spades.

horror for toddlers

Well well, I have seen a lot so far and especially those 70's grindhouse and exploitation movies but nowadays everybody is trying to make an ode to that era. Mostly they are total crap. But there are worser things happening, due the success of horror at the box offices the labels are bringing out every movie made concerning horror. And some are a total turkey like this one. Nothing really happens, a warlock appears and disappears like nothing while he is searching for his "lady" to rule the world. From the first five minutes you know enough, a shoot out while a black mass ceremony is happening. But when people get hurt no blood is flowing. Then we move on 12 years later when the girl who would be sacrificed becomes 18, an adult. But when she gets possessed by the warlock, you really should see the effects, so stupid. This is worser then watching Disney. In fact there are no effects. The warlock effects are just done by editing. And the possessed girl effects are just done by her hands. The so called love scene's are ridiculous, but hey, the director included some nudity. If your toddlers will find this DVD they will never be feared, in fact they will be amused like watching Nickelodeon.

Cheap, lame & very poor.

On her 18th birthday a handsome stranger reveals to Rebecca, an orphan, that she is in fact the daughter of a witch & warlock, etc, etc. The DVD cover has scream queens Julie Strain & Brinke Stevens names on it but they are mere cameos Natalie Sutherland does a reasonable job as Rebecca & takes her clothes off several times, one of the few highlights. For the girls Danny Wolske gets his pecs out, but sadly his acting ability is wooden at best. There are a few death scenes, the girl being sucked down the toilet being the best part of the movie. Otherwise, the little gore is very poor, as is the whole, stupid film.
