I remember the director of The Witches of Oz, Leigh Scott, saying that he was stepping up from the low-budget trash he was used to be making and was going to to surprise everyone with some real quality work. Me and everyone with a brain, are still waiting for it.
Because what I just saw was nothing close to what I had expected. The acting was not acceptable. I cannot think of a single actor or actress that didn't overact or underact in this movie.
But it's not the bad acting that disappointed me, because I can stand terrible acting so long as I am entertained by the visuals or the story.
First lets talk about the visuals, or the lack of them. I am aware that this isn't a high budget summer blockbuster, but I know that if the small amount of money they had was spent on actual talent, the final product would have been much, much better. The special effects here are just terrible. Leigh, if you happen to read this, please look up the movie "Monsters" from 2010. That movie barely had a budget but the effects are still light years from what I just saw in The Witchez of Oz. So director, take note.
Now, the script. I know, for a fact, that I can write a better script than this and this is coming from a teenager who has no experience in writing movie scripts what so ever. The dialog between the characters are awkward to say the least and it does not help that the actors and actress does a terrible job already.
I'm trying super hard to find stuff about the movie that I liked, mostly because I think that Leigh Scott seems to be a cool guy and I know he checks these boards from time to time, but I am sorry, I cannot find a single thing that I enjoyed. But I can say this; the girl who played Dorthy, Paulie Rojas, was very cute and I sorta liked her.
Leigh Scott, you can, and hopefully will, do better than this. I am very disappointed with this movie and I didn't enjoy the experience I had while watching it.
Overall rating: two out of ten popcorns.
