The Worst Film Ever

As Good As It Gets

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I'm not sure where to start. The acting, directing, producing in this is utterly rubbish. And if that wasn't bad enough whosoever chose the sound effects/music must have been a 5 year old.The acting is really bad. It's completely cringeworthy. They have no idea how to react to things or what to do or say. At first I thought maybe it's only due to whoever wrote the script/lines but it's both! Mom being the worst of the lot.The daughter looks the same age as the mother, when i googled them their is only 4 years between them in and this definitely shows! It just made it stupid. Then we find out the mother got pregnant at the age of 16. They have no help in the house, which is fine but somehow these 3 manage to get everything done whilst 2 go to school and college and God knows what the mother does. Mom manages to get security cameras out of no where and installs them too. It is also makes me wonder how on earth they can afford to live in a massive farm.I had to stop watching after 60 minutes because it was just plain silly and annoying. Usually I'm the type that HAS to know the ending no matter how crap the movie ends up being but I couldn't take any more. It is beyond shite. I can overlook one or two things but the sound, acting, story line, lack of suspense, it's all disappointing!

For the love of Pete, where the hell do I even start? The movie opens with two blatantly false statistics.--'The bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, killed an estimated 200 million people in Europe.'No, the correct figure is 25 million. Europe's population at the time was ~65 million, so a death toll of 200 million would have wiped out the entire population of Europe about three times over.--'There are 61,551 recorded executions for witchcraft.' No, the total ESTIMATE of executions for witchcraft is 40,000. We don't even have records for that many, and certainly not for the utterly absurd figure of 61,551.COTWT desperately wants to be taken seriously and tries to emulate some aspects of Hammer Horror, but it looks like it was produced by a bunch of high school kids on an overdose of Valium. The result is 103 minutes of gibberish that even Uwe Bolle would disown.With a rambling, incoherent plot and actors who sound like they were dragged from a psych ward on 'Extra Medicine Day', this giant steaming dung ball made me want to remove my own eyes with a combine harvester.I rate 'Curse of the Witching Tree' at 3.33 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a humiliating 1/10 on IMDb.

If you enjoy slow British haunted house movies, like I do, then this is a cool little film. Very ambitious. But I can't recommend it to civilians without qualifying it as a slow paced British manor horror. Spooky cinematography and sound design which works at times, and is effective at building a tone. The story isn't so great but they rarely are. Its a decent movie for watching at night, in the dark when its raining. The acting is better than average. Like I said, its ambitious, you can tell the filmmakers were ambitious. THis isn't a mailed in Low Budget SyFy style picture. This movie tries to be a real film. I don't know anything about the production, I rented the DVD from Redbox based on the title and cover art. There have been a few movies kinda like Witching Tree that I have seen over the past year or two. The Woman In Black and the sequel, I guess, and I just saw a movie on Netflix called Altar. I liked all of them. If you don't like those you probably wont like Witching Tree

I read a couple of reviews, but I agree now with another reviewer that they MUST somehow be connected to the film! They MUST have seen another film, as this is not the film I watched! It's like a bad episode of Eastenders.Unbelievable story line - Husband is in a coma, so wife decides buy a huge 600 year old farm to keep her pigs,(Really?) where there is a tree in the woods (By the way, the tree looked about 60 years old, if it was 600+ years old, I am sure it would have been bigger and wider. By the way, it is NOT the tree on the cover of the DVD. They couldn't even be bothered to find a decent tree, which is supposed to be central to the whole story!)Very short "Kids around the campfire telling stories" set up to let you know that a "Wronged woman" was hanged for witchcraft, and has been killing kids ever since.. Then, usual run of the mill sequences of 'turn round and there's either no one there, or there is someone there, wide eyed, covered with blood and their tongues hanging out, with sudden loud crashing sound to try and make you jump...' Insidious did it so much better and creepier...Very poor acting, poor clichéd supposed scary moments (I was expecting a cat to suddenly jump out and squeal ala Stephen King) it is that bad.Dad in a coma, can presumably "see" what is going on at home, and after how many months, suddenly starts talking, saying, "Jake... House...Jake..." so the daughter calls the nurse, who tells her, "They can tend to speak quite a bit at this stage, but it's just a reaction from the nerves..." Really? Coma patients suddenly start talking, and it's a sign that they're getting WORSE!!?? I got this hoping to watch it with the family, we really tried to like it and watch it, but we turned it off after 45 minutes as it was THAT bad!
