The film is undeniably drawn out and tedious. It has a simple story-line; Molly Gilmore (Meryl Streep) and Frank Raftis (Robert De Niro) are two ordin- ary commuters in ordinary jobs and ordinary marriages, who meet purely by chance and find themlseves irresis- tibily attracted to one another_ It all sounds somewhat conventional, however, the performances of both Streep and De Niro are, as to be expected, superbly professional. The clumsiness and awkwardness of their meetings adds a degree of authen- ticity to their roles and are a delight to watch. If the title of the film suggests a rather sugary sequel to 'Love Story' it most certainly is riot. The film is subtle and in parts quite sensitive and touching. It is intended Iiilliams Bros. — from Francis Cappola's "The Cotton Club". to be a portrayal of the complex relationships inside and outside of marriage. However the film fails for a number of reasons; first and foremost because it is uninspired and uninspiring. A quite forgetable film, which is a shame because it starts THE WITCH off by showing so much promise. 'Falling in Love' may THE WITCH Odeon Cinema not be the classical weepy love story, but neither does it This is poo. Although categorised as a horror movie, 'The Witch' totally lacks suspense of offer us anything refreshing or new. any kind. Death abounds, indeed virtually the entire cast are wiped out by the gruesome Jim Brooks Elondra (Carole Goldman) the insufferable witch of the title. The wartbag in question also just happens to be Satan's daughter which does not leave much to chance. The basic plot of the film is as follows; everybody dies. Elondra however does perpetrate a few interesting variations on the theme: one such instance occurs when two all-American boys, Charlie and Arty (smashing names) play a wickedly fiendish prank on two other teenagers trying to 'make-out' in the front (yes, front) of a car. For their troubles the boys are, respectively, blown up in a microwave (in Gremlins style) and, with some grotty special effects, sliced up by a body chopping window. Later events suggest that the only person who needs chopping up and eating is Michael Sajbel, the scriptwriter. This splendid fun takes place inside a house with a gruesome history of murderwhich Elondra is very much attached to. The film loses a little credibility to say the least when an alcoholic priest George Leahy (Larry Pennell) and his family decide to live in the house. Elondra can hardly believe her luck, and a really magic display of body-chucking ensues. It transpires that Elondra's evil spirit has been freed from an old pond after about 300 years of incarceration, so there is a good deal of killing to catch up on up on. Driving a stake through the Reverend Leahy's daughter is only one example of a more than ample imagination. The only real opposition to Elondra comes in the form of another priest, the Reverend Thompson (James Houghton) but even he eventually ends up being dragged into the pond, leaving Elondra victorious though reconfined to the pond due to a last effort by the noble Reverend. The plot has a distinctly unworkable air about it and this, with poor acting and cliches raining down like cats and dogs culminates in a very amateurish film - still at least it did not cost as much as 'The Cotton Club'.
