1/5
Imagine 'Hollyoaks' with the gloss taken out, a dash of 'The Exorcist' put in, Go to Full Review

A bewilderingly awful horror film. Go to Full Review
Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 10/04/2009
1/5
This Leeds-set occult mystery is made in so earnest and amateurish a style as to make the Children's Film Foundation look like Hitchcock. Go to Full Review

It almost demands a debate about whether critics should even be allowed to pass judgement on films unless they (films and critics both) have attained a certain rudimentary benchmark of professionalism to begin with. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 10/04/2009
This incompetent reworking of The Exorcist among Leeds teenagers makes Ed Wood look like Max Ophüls. It is astonishing that it should be offered to a paying public outside of the director's hometown. Go to Full Review
Cosmo Landesman Sunday Times (UK) 10/04/2009
1/5
The script is appalling, the dialogue is flat, the acting is unforgivable and the horror scenes are unintentionally comic. Yes - in Carey Jones, Britain has produced its own Ed Wood. Go to Full Review

05/31/2010 Terrible... had to turn it off... See more 10/03/2009 Awful acting, awful camera work, awful script writing, awful sound, The Spell is nothing more (and a lot less) than an almost deliberately awful movie, in summary. The Spell introduces nothing fresh into the horror or social genre, and it seems too terrible to be a B-Movie while being too well-promoted to be a Z-Movie. Judging by this, The Spell is nothing more than a C-Movie. See more Read all reviews
