Voodoo horror. Though voodoo may be a very thankful subject for a horror flick, it's not a genre niche that is particularly stacked. Spell isn't a film to challenge any genre boundaries, and the film delivered exactly what I expected from it, but it does so with plenty of conviction. Sometimes, that's all you need from a horror film.
The cinematography is moody, the old couple is kitsch in the best way possible and the voodoo elements are interesting. The performances of the leads were a bit flaky and the finale could've been a bit edgier, but they don't detract too much from an otherwise solid horror film. Good fun.
