nepotism sucks. never mind that this was bad anyway but the subtitles had an even harder time than me picking up wtf anyone was saying, replacing most speech with “(mumbles)” lmao

A sleepover on Halloween sounds like a much better idea.
-IzzyDirector John Mackie brings us a family affair starring his kids Cloe, Holly and Billy Red Mackie while the writing duties went to Jayney Mackie, who might be his wife, but I did not care enough to put much research in it.
The result is what I would imagine a visual representation of someone throwing up a Craft ripoff would look like. It's just an excruciating experience that no one should live through.
It starts off by giving you false hope showing you a familiar face in Dexter Fletcher, but then completely falls apart seconds later with horrendous cinematography, editing, lighting, costumes and I bet even the catering sucked.…

A rip off of The Craft, even the title is similar and even the POSTER. I mean that's just too much.

THE COVEN (2015)
"In Highgate London, five young teenagers hoping to witness Pagan activity, camp in historic Queen's Wood on Halloween but soon discover they are part of the ritual when a mysterious Biker hunts them down."
It looks like a British rip-off of The Craft (1996), at the start it feels like a British rip-off, but lo and behold, it actually changes things up by throwing in a tree that sucks up people as sacrifices and a demonic biker dude!
I didn't like this at all!GHOSTOBER MARATHON 2022 #47

I love the Craft. This poster reminded me of the Craft and made me think it was a ripoff of it, which i would have been ok with, but nope, not even a third rate ripoff. just awful

I am unable to review or rate this movie as I spend 40 minutes of the runtime sleeping. Still, on some level I ‘saw’ this film so I am still logging it. Mister Dexter Fletcher- I thought I knew ye!

The picture that is plastered all over the internet associated with this film gives the impression that it is going to be a rip off of The Craft. I had to watch it, so went in expecting a poorly made version of one of my favourite teenage films.
I couldn't have been further off on my assumption as to what the film was about...Four girls (as with the craft) and witchcraft (as with the craft)... Thats were the similarities end.
The only thing about this film that made it remotely interesting is that the story is loosely (and I mean a little tiny carrot dangled in front of a big big horse loosely) based on true events of a cult from the 1960s.
Watch this, only if you are really really bored and really really do not have anything else to watch!!!!

The Covenant is a shitty The Craft rip off. This movie right here doesn't even make enough of an effort to be qualified as that (except for the title and poster). It's just some girls getting drunk and high in a tent in the woods. I don't know why they're doing that though, since they already sound like they're high from the beginning. Some boys show up. A girl goes to the library. The devil is a motorcycle. Atrocious, ridiculous CGI, not only in quality but mostly in what they use it for. The end. Plus, a note in the end credits saying real witches from the coven told the film crew to fuck off away while they were filming in the woods. Unfortunately, they weren't heard. I usually save half star ratings for the really painful, offensive shit, but this was just a huge pile of incredibly boring, lazy, ugly nothing.

Finally this week we have THE COVEN, an independent British horror movie which seems a bit of a family affair with John Mackie in the director’s chair and Jayney Mackie on writing duty, while Cloe, Holly and Billy Red Mackie all star – not forgetting Rory Mackie on the digital imaging there. In Highgate, London, five teenagers are intrigued by their teacher’s stories of a clearing within the nearby Queen’s Wood, and of thirteen ancient oak trees officially known as ‘The Coven’. Here, seven people vanished on Halloween a few years before. With this in mind, the teens decide to see if they can survive an evening in this cursed place, and plan a secret sleepover in the exact location,…
