User Review - 6/10 by A.D. VCheesy, somewhat gory, Italian tale of witches, rituals and something to do with a pregnant woman that didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Normally this is something that automatically turns me off but dammit I have a soft spot for low-budget 80's Italian horror and this one fits the bill. ***SPOILER*** Especially one that kills off David Hasselhoff.
User Review - 6/10 by Lisa SI was totally confused by this movie until about half way through, and it finally makes some sense in the end. There is good horror movie gore in this one, but the story isn't very good, and the end is predictable. Overall, it's a so-so film.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee ?This horror movie is okay, but it's confusing up until the end, and then the ending is one of those stock horror movie ends that isn't very shocking anyway.
User Review - 4/10 by Jason DA terrible film that becomes somewhat fun if you can make to the final third of the movie. Slow, dull, and badly acted to begin with, the film does not really become any good until about 50 minutes in when typically twisted, witchy happenings start occuring. Abyssmal performances from David Hasselhoff and a pregnant Linda Blair make for some memorably terrible lines and sequences. Also, always good to see Linda Blair possessed in a non-Exorcist film--great to see that she can stretch herself as an actress.
User Review - 4/10 by Bjorn OThe acting is awful and the story makes no sense. Lack of decent kills also lets this film down.
User Review - 4/10 by Kurt AHere's a movie that features witchcraft, demonic possession, demon rape, and David Hasselhoff. Throw in a few roasted people, a magic crystal, and a Sesame Street tape recorder and you've got yourself one unforgettably lame horror movie experience. Many years ago, when we measured time in fortnights, there lived a pregnant witch. People round those parts in them times didn't take to kindly to coven born Satan babies so they chased the expecting witch to her untimely demise at the hands of a 20 foot plummet onto the craggy ground. Dang. That's too bad. After that brief intro we're whisked away to modern day 1988 where David Hasselhoff can still summon super cars with his wrist watch. In this magical future land of wheat and plenty we see ... a pregnant lady who bears a striking resemblance to ye olde witch of yore. She wakes up from a dream in which she was chased, and plummeted to her death. How original. The very same lady goes for a walk and is almost crushed by a steel support beam that happens to fall right in front of her. Coincidence? We then see Leslie and Greg (David Hasselhoff) at the same hotel the witch died in, conducting scientific research for the greater good of all mankind, sort of. Leslie is conducting research. Hasselhoff is trying to conduct sex research by practically throwing his semi-naked form on top of Leslie the virgin at every opportunity. Next we meet the parents of Jane Brooks (the pregnant lady) looking at a picture of the same dilapidated island hotel that Hasselhoff and Leslie "THE VIRGIN" are at. It would seem that they picked the wrong time to buy a broken down, old island hotel. So they call a friends friend to give them a renovation estimate. They all take a hired boat to the island and begin to have a look around. CAST INTRODOCUTION !!! - Greg (David Hasselhoff) - Horny photographer, Zodiac Captain. - Jane (Linda Blair) - Preggo lady, the main character. - Leslie - The virgin, likes books about witches. - Rose - The mean, likes to generally be a condescending bitch. - Freddie - The scrawny, his body has reacted poorly to a lifetime of dealing with Rose's bullshit. - Linda - The harlot, likes to adjust claims when she isn't adjusting other things. - Jerry - The realtor's son, likes to sleep with harlots. - Tommy - The bad ass, likes to play with his Sesame Street tape recorder. It takes the Brooks family about 9 seconds to figure out that they aren't alone on the island. Way to leave out the hotplate douche! Anyway, as soon as they start poking around the place a mysterious woman in black eviscerates the boatman, leaving the only way off of the island (UNLESS YOU COUNT THE OTHER BOAT) adrift. When they attempt to leave they find themselves stranded. Thinking the coast is clear, Hasselhoff comes out of hiding and bumps into the whole gang as they walk back into the hotel. Oops. They trade introductions and soon after they start dying one by one. This is one of those rare movies you will see that actually kills of the shittiest character first. Rose, the mean, finds it hard to speak when the heat is turned up. She died because she was a cold hearted, quick tempered, money grubbing bastard. Otherwise known as avarice. The first of three deadly sins. Next to go is Linda the harlot. For being a whore. Otherwise known as lust, the second of three deadly sins. Followed by Jerry, the realtor's son. He was part of said "lust" so he has to die too I suppose. Oh yeah, then Leslie (THE VIRGIN) is raped by a demon. Bollocks! It's ok though, it was all in her head. Or was it? After that it's a bit quiet. The retards finally get the idea to shoot off a flare to the shore, which can't be more than a mile away. Of course someone sees it and they go to the police who swear up and down that there is no way for them to get to the island to help. What about a damn helicopter ya dumb bastards? Oh wait, never mind, they figured it out. Jeez! Took you long enough. Once the house prevents them from jumping up and down in front of the rescue helicopter; Freddie pops a vein big-time and shoots blood all over Hasselhoff's face, dying in the process. Awesome! Finally enough people have died and they can try to leave the island on Hasselhoff's little zodiac. Oh wait, we forgot Tommy! Then, the ending. Now normally a stupid ending doesn't really bother me. But this one is oppressively bad. So Jane is possessed by a demon, no biggie. Until she starts arbitrarily killing off the rest of the survivors with her supernatural dead witch preggo powers. She takes out Hasselhoff with a candelabra. And, just as she's choking the life out of poor little Tommy, and victory is all but assured, Hasselhoff drags his mostly dead carcass to the hallway, where he yells at Jane! That yell, was apparently enough to scare Tommy into dropping his Sesame Street tape recorder. As if being choked to death by a demon witch wasn't? Anyway, the cheap toy starts playing as soon as it hits the ground. It plays Tommy's OCD "I love you Jane" message over and over until Jane can't take it anymore and throws herself out the window. The end. Almost. Later on we see Leslie (NO LONGER A VIRGIN) at the hospital recovering. Then the nurse casually says that her baby will be all right. My baby? The end, for reals. This movie is pretty stupid, but it does contain a scene showing off the consumption of a roasted baby, so it's not all bad. I say give it a watch if you're a Hasselhoff fan. His antics are pretty funny. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. The 3rd and final deadly sin is ire. Which is lame because the long dead witch displayed ire at the hotel so the trinity was completed and combined with the unborn child of Jane and the virgin loins of Leslie to create a massive convergence of supernatural energy which ultimately culminated in the destruction of more money than I care to think of.
User Review - 4/10 by Vincent OAn unholy, unintentionally hilarious mess of a flick starring Linda Blair and David Hasselhoff and demonstrating perfectly why the latter never became a household name in horror. Supplement this with a starring role for Leslie Cumming, who delivers a performance so perfectly awful that I thought she was a foreign actress delivering her lines phonetically, and you've just about hit the trifecta. Now throw in a child actor who never made another film or TV appearance, a truly bumbling director (Michael Newlin and Fabrizio Laurenti are the same person), an unbelievably corny script, awful prosthetics that frequently look like they might pop off the wearer at any moment, and scenes in which day turns to night and back again up to 8 times, and it's a so-bad-it's-fun romp through something that you can only scrub out with plenty of bleach. The phrase that most often came to mind for me was, "What were they thinking?" Did they really think that nobody would notice the fake lips being sewn together were made of some sort of hard wax? That when we saw out of a window it was night, but when the shot switched to an interior that it was clearly daytime in the same window? That the nails that came off of a woman's fingers were back on them again a moment later? Really? It's worth noting that the director and most of the cast's careers ended here. Linda Blair still worked in a few B flicks, Hasselhoff simply won't go away, and one other actress has appeared in various TV dramas in bit parts. The rest? Gone. Truly terrible stuff here. If you like really bad horror film disasters, you're gonna love this one.
User Review - 4/10 by Matthew LOkay, aside from Linda Blair looking cook/freaky with some crazy possessed hair, and David Hasselhoff trying to beg/badger his virgin girlfriend into fucking him, there's not a whole lot to make this one very memorable. I dug the abandoned hotel setting, but it's just a slow process to get to the end of this one, sorry folks. Rental?
User Review - 4/10 by Justin BWitchery (aka Witchcraft, aka La Casa 4) has the appearance of a fun horror movie, mainly because of the presence of David Hasselhoff and Linda Blair, but it winds up just being an exercise in tedium. The most effective scenes in the movie are actually the torture scenes, which is not to say that they're scary or squirm-inducing. They just provide some relief from the character situations. None of those characters have anything going on worthy of note, other than standardized things like one character being sexual active, another being rude and mean, etc. There's just not much to this movie to make it worth recommending. And if you're a fan of Italian horror, this will definitely be a letdown for you.
User Review - 2/10 by Carys ESO shit. Not even the Hoff could save this.
