Dave Calhoun Time Out Oct 4, 2009
1/5
Imagine 'Hollyoaks' with the gloss taken out, a dash of 'The Exorcist' put in, Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian Oct 4, 2009
1/5
A bewilderingly awful horror film. Go to Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Oct 4, 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 Ali Catterall Film4 Oct 4, 2009
2/5
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) Oct 4, 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) Oct 4, 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 Read all reviews

May 31, 2010 Terrible... had to turn it off... See more Oct 3, 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
