"They Will Remember My Words Until They Gibber In Madness!"...
7 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
MARK OF THE WITCH opens in olden times, where a woman / witch in tarantula-like eyelashes gives a lengthy, very animated speech, cursing all involved, before being hanged.

Zoom forward to modern days, and we are introduced to a young woman named Jill (Anitra Walsh) who buys a mysterious book. Later, at a college bash, Jill astonishes the crowd by using her book for recitations and incantations!

Oh no!

Something's happened to Jill! She now speaks in a strange, affected voice instead of her usual grooviness! Now possessed, it's not long before she kills a dog and doles out some overdue retribution! Jill's boyfriend, Alan (Darryl Wells) doesn't believe in witches, until Jill makes a parakeet explode like a feathery grenade! In no time, Jill is yelling malarkey and causing a backyard hullabaloo!

Dear lord! She gets the girls out!

Meanwhile, an eternally long discussion is had concerning just what to do about the "Jill problem". Much hyperbole, emoting, and stylish branding follow, while Jill does her best to reduce the airhead population.

This movie is a rib-tickler from start to finish. Jill's cackle alone is enough to make it a classic!

DO NOT MISS: The Beelzebub vs. Jeezuz, cross-eyed Jill finale, complete with a bloody kiss, time travel, and a flashing crucifix! It will pickle thy soul!...
