Platypuschow I'm in the process of binge watching the Witchcraft franchise and am fast starting to think this is the worst movie series of all time.Here in the 5th part we see the return of William the warlock, except now he's played by a different actor as I'm sure the last guy had enough.He's spellbound by a rival warlock who uses him to collect souls for satan, or something.With some of the worst overacting I've ever seen and sex/nudity in every other scene this really pushes for the title of worst Witchcraft movie. I'm not sure it is, but it's certainly on par.I'd recommend the Witchcraft franchise thus far to people who like *Ahem*, people who are into *Hmmmm* guys and gals I don't like? *Shrugs*The Good:Boobs, what? I'm a simple manThe Bad:SFX that hurt my brainAntagonist is hammy to ridiculous levelsCringe inducingDull plotThings I Learnt From This Movie:I didn't know Ronnie James Dio was a warlockPoor girl, her top keeps falling off

herbpassion Rather than comment on the lack of (insert any number of obvious points on what makes for a 'good' film here) as so many people often do with this flick, I shall try and elaborate on it's luster. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending it's honour, since it doesn't have any. On the other hand, 'Dance with the Devil' is slammed so often that it just breaks my heart. I am, as some may know, a real and in-the-flesh fan of this film series but I do not expect anyone to sympathize with me for any of my kind words towards these pictures. I'm simply exercising my right to free speech and so now I shall...Forget about the story, the acting & dialogue, the FX (as they would be called were this a film with any sort of budget) and the myriad of other distractions. The focus here is very evidently on the sex and the copious sex scenes which drive the movie (right into soft porn land).In addition to said sex element, what I find delightful and most memorable about this movie is it's tone- especially in the early scenes- where the use of soft (mostly blueish) colours and what I find to be a VERY, VERY seducing musical score by Miriam Cutler (yes, really, I am actually a fan and know who did the music. Just lay off me man!) create a mood & finesse that the earlier instalments simply didn't have. The costumes in the movie are brilliant, from Marta's slutty tight dress and sheer night gown to 'homo-esque Hoffman's' see-it-to-believe-it Warlock garb. It's a visual orgasm I tell you. And that's before we arrive at the sex scenes... believe it!The movie barely hangs together as it chugs along, but the intermittent sex scenes do provide a timed release of interest in an otherwise drab muddle of what is either ultimate camp or just sad film-making... maybe both.But with scenes that feature lines like "I bet what you've got is real nice too!", how can you beat up on such a lovable mess of sexy entertainment? Somebody please, tell me?? And check out that artwork on the VHS box cover- it's f*****g lovely!!! (Check out my review of Witchcraft X too!)

bigpappa1--2 They just keep getting worse and worse. This offers all the bad direction, acting, script, special effects, poorly plotted situations, etc. that one could ever want. But it does offer two good things: plenty of naked blond haired women and a whole lottaaaa sex. If you don't like either one of these two things ( is something wrong with you if you don't find that appealing? )avoid this at all cost. Rating: 3 out of 10.

aaronzombie Lets just forget part 4 ever happened and say this film picks up after #3. This time lawyer Will Spanner(From parts 2-4.)is enslaved by evil warlock Kane who wants to open the gateway to Hell. Spanner's girlfriend and a few others try to help him resist this evil power, but at the cost of their own lives. Good story, and o.k. acting. *** out of *****.
