The Witch's Curse, February 3, 2006
This review is from: The Witch's Curse (DVD)
I only gave this movie 1 star due mainly to the horrible quality of the dvd transfer. I would warn anyone buying vintage movies to check if it is a Alpha Video release. They consistently produce the worse quality movies imaginable. I have seen a number of different titles from them and the are shockingly poor. The With's Curse may be the worst. It is not even in color. It looks yellowish-brown...everything! You have to go into the movie knowing it's just pure fantasy. In saying that, it is still bizarre that this gladiator shows up out of nowhere in 16th century Scotland to help right some wrong or stop injustice. Still, I really like this movie. It's a lot of fun. I hope a real studio produces this title some day. For now, if you want it, you will have to suffer with a Alpha release.

Horrible DVD transfer, May 6, 2008
This review is from: The Witch's Curse (DVD)
This is not a review about the film itself but the Alpha Video transfer: it's horrible. Really horrible. In fact, I believe this a complete ripoff. Who in their right mind believes that the transfer on this DVD is anything close to watchable? I'd like to see the folks from Alpha Video sit through it and try to watch it. I'm sure they could not watch it for more than 5 minutes. Avoid this DVD at all cost. Hopefully the film will have a presentable transfer one of these days.

TRULY CURSED, September 16, 2005
This review is from: The Witch's Curse (DVD)
THE WITCH'S CURSE is one of the worst sword and sandal epics to grace our screens. The DVD transfer is horrible; the colors are washed out and the sound atrocious. But even if it had the crystal clarity of a better transfer, the material is so bad, it wouldnt help. Kirk Morris, one of those hunky 60s bodybuilders, plays Maciste, a muscleman who appears out of nowhere and goes to hell literally to put and end to a witch's curse. The movie takes place in 16th century Scotland, so what is this Roman gladiator even doing there? Morris has little dialogue, and he spends most of his time showing off his muscles by lifting trees, moving rocks and ditto ditto. It isn't even campy enough to be funny. What a waste of time and effort.
