“If you enjoy horror movies about witchcraft and such, then the 2008 movie u0026quot;Witch House: The Legend of Petronel Haxleyu0026quot; from director Mike McCarthy might not be the best of choices you can select for watching.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI sat down to watch u0026quot;Witch House: The Legend of Petronel Haxleyu0026quot; in 2021, without ever having heard about it, nor knowing what it was about, save it was something about witchery and witchcraft. Plus, the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadnu0026#39;t already seen, also helped to win me over.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd let me just be the first to say that this movie wasnu0026#39;t good, nor interesting, or particularly enjoyable or entertaining. It was, in fact, so unappealing that I gave up on the movie about 45 minutes into it. It was just horribly boring and uneventful. The storyline just had absolutely no drive to it, which made for a very bland and boring movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Witch House: The Legend of Petronel Haxleyu0026quot; felt like a home movie project, which was also an aspect to why the movie failed to enthrall me in any way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting in the movie was fairly adequate, taking into consideration the production of the movie and the type of movie that it was. I canu0026#39;t pinpoint any particular outstanding acting performances in the movie though.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have no intention of returning to watch the rest of this movie. And my rating of the 2008 movie u0026quot;Witch House: The Legend of Petronel Haxleyu0026quot; lands on a generous three out of ten stars.”
