Pretty soon dead bodies are coming up everywhere and itu0026#39;s up to everyoneu0026#39;s favorite detective to stop it. Yes theyu0026#39;re still going and yes they took a minor character from the previous entries and gave her her own film. WITCHCRAFT X is a bad movie, thereu0026#39;s no doubt about it but I will give director-writer Elisar Cabrera credit for knowing this. It really does seem like he watched the previous few entries and realized he had nothing to lose so he decided to change things around a bit. The biggest change is that there are more horror elements going on here with the vampires. Not only do we get some neck biting but we also have the highest body count from any of the films in the series up to this point. Sure, the effects suck (no pun) but at least theyu0026#39;re something different. The sex/nudity level hasnu0026#39;t really been cut down. At first I thought it had but the director quickly makes up for the lack of skin early on by giving us a three-way (not that kind) dealing with two sex scenes going on at once and another beauty taking a bath. The sex scene between the bisexual vampire and the Satan worshiper was fairly funny and especially the hot wax. The performances are pretty much what youu0026#39;d expect from a film like this (meaning people are hired for their breast size) but I did find Beaton to be fun to watch (and look at). The biggest problem with the film is that it simply goes on way too long and whatever decent ideas are in the screenplay just get watered down by the extremely long running time. Thereu0026#39;s also way too much dialogue but this here has happened in all ten films to date.”
