House Of The Witch review

House of the Witch can be a good pick for Halloween watchlist. However, it is more of a predictable storyline. The location, atmosphere and graphic of the movie make it really interesting. There are scenes where viewers may find that the story is not explained completely or the storyline is distorted, however, it can certainly be a one time watch. House of the Witch ending makes it quite worthy to watch.
