Witchery

La casa 4

1988 ·1h 35m · ★ 5.0 (85)

A student and her photographer boyfriend visit an island off of Massachusetts to research a hotel supposedly haunted by a witch.

Why it matters

A late-80s supernatural whodunit tangled in witchcraft and isolation, Witchery blends haunted hotel chills with campy B-movie charm.

  • David Hasselhoff’s surprisingly earnest lead anchors a cast otherwise adrift in middling performances.
  • Channeling Agatha Christie’s locked-room tension, it’s a creaky puzzle box of suspects and spectral menace.
  • Low-budget Italian horror meets New England folklore — practical effects are minimal, atmosphere leans on moody isolation.
  • For fans of cult curiosities and nostalgia-tinged supernatural mysteries, this one’s a guilty pleasure with a witchy twist.
