PopHorror Let's Get Scared
I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of witchcraft, but too scared to pursue it in real life. I prefer to watch it safely from the comfort of my living room, which I did with Lust, Magic, and the Witches’ Sabbath. After watching the film, I think I made the right choice.
Synopsis
When young Morrigan (Morrigan Thompson) moves away from home for a change of scenery, she never could have imagined the drastic turn her life would take. All roads soon lead to Lust, Magic and the Witches’ Sabbath. A sexy satanic bloodbath.
Lust, Magic, and the Witches’ Sabbath was directed by Andrew J. Chambers (Babezilla Vs The Zombie Whorde) from a script he wrote with Dane-Mychal Marvin. The film stars Morrigan Thompson (XXX-mas, read our review here), Ari Lehman (Friday The 13th), Clint Beaver (Amityville Clownhouse), Ivy Smith (Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl), Christopher Korek (Dr Gift), Andrew J Chambers, Joseph William Simmons (Behind The Mystery of the Manor), Dane-Mychal Marvin, Tony Kimball (After School Lunch Special 2: Sloppy Seconds), Lacee Newbanks (Black Luck), Corrina Gash, Emily Mefferd (Babezilla Vs The Zombie Whorde), Raven Foyt (After School Lunch Special), Jessica J. Steward, Lana Zombie, and Nicole Borys.
My Thoughts
Lust, Magic, and the Witches’ Sabbath starts on a fairly disturbing note. I won’t spoil what happens, but I’m still trying to figure out how they achieved the effect. It was gnarly. After that, we move to the future and we get introduced to our witchy protagonist Morrigan, who decides to pack up and leave home for a fresh start. After arriving at her new home, she not only meets a religious fanatic who labels her as a Satanist, she discovers the town has a missing person as well as meeting Raven, a fellow who invites her to meet her coven. This event will change her life forever. The ending is a double whammy of disturbing shocks and twists.
The film takes its time getting going. It gives us the chance to get to know Morrigan a bit and what kind of person she is. It makes us care about her and what happens to her. She’s extremely cute and likable and seems like a genuinely good person, Morrigan Thompson does an amazing job as Morrigan. She plays up the character’s slightly awkward nature and naivety but there are moments as the film progresses where she becomes uninhibited and sexy and Morrigan makes it feel like a natural progression, like her character is discovering the person she was meant to be all along.
The film, while featuring a handful of disturbing and bloody moments, isn’t focused on that. It’s focused more on Morrigan’s character arc, the price of religious fanaticism, and some sleaze (in which it excels). There is a fairly blasphemous masturbation scene and most of the female cast is completely nude for the last 15-20 minutes so if you like your indie horror chock full of sexy naked women, you definitely get that here.
Final Thoughts
Lust, Magic, and the Witches’ Sabbath is a disturbing and sexy horror film with another stellar performance from Morrigan Thompson. If you like your blood and gore with a side of sleaze, this is the film for you.
