Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

DuskShadow Truly I have never seen a more defining movie about " man eaters". And I have seen B horror flicks about cannibal lesbians.Still this misleads one as it drones on for about 20 minutes like its a Guy Ritchie film about bank robbers. But after a hilarious heist and car chase involving a father whom has custody of his son for the weekend, it somehow all screams of the predations of women, or some such crap. Like a Greek fable written after Aesop had a bad date...in Spain.The men whom robbed a cash for gold shop take shelter at a rickety looking property that the Crypt Keeper would be jealous of, and are ensnared by real witches that want to feast upon the mes flesh. Saucy. The film does however have the greatest pair of ta tas that men have worshipped since Carol Doda popped onto the scene back in the day. The movie is actually quite funny, and if you have seen some of these actors in a more recent film, such as The Bar (2017), you will immediately recognize that quick witted Spanish humor that peppers these stories like a Spanish omelette. Its SO SPICY! But beware, if you have had a few drinks, this might just put the idea that all women are evil, scheming, nonsensical, selfish, warty witch whores into ones mind. At least wait till after the film to jump to such conclusions. Unless you've been married or are a guy over 30. :PROLFOL. ABRA CA-BURN THE WITCHES!

kosmasp While I did like Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, there is a witch right here, that I'd die for. All puns and jokes aside though: This is a comedy and it does start with a Bang (not Carolina, a literally one) and does not stop from there. It works because it is funny, but in an adult kind of way. No joke or poking fun is too low to go there (and while I'm not a fan of "toilet humor", there is one here, that I think is really good and nicely shot).It is predictable obviously, but the actors make the whole thing work and you will have "sacrifices" that have to be made (no pun intended), for the inevitable outcome. The effects are really good and while you might argue about characters and their moods, this all get "explained" ... at least in a fashion, that is sufficient enough for a comedy

abisio Alex de la Iglesia is one of the most interesting Spanish directors. His movies always carry a mix of violence and comedy (and sometimes horror) . He is able to get good production values; but most of the times humor is basically a gross exaggeration of Spanish idiosyncrasy and history which sometimes limits the audience's understanding of what is going on. "Las Brujas de Zagarramurdi" aka "Witching and Bitching" starts with a not very well-orchestrated pawn shop robbery . The main characters Jose (Hugo Silva) and Tony steal a bag full of golden rings with the help of Jose's 10 years old son. They escape kidnapping a taxi drivers and his passenger and try to cross to France. They are immediately identified and pursued by Jose's ex-wife and two dumb policemen. When they reach Zagarramurdi they had to confront a huge cove of witches with plans to eat them and destroy the world (or at least men). In is in its first half, the film is a crude (and very funny) commentary about Spain's dominant maternal society. The technical aspects like the car chase are very well staged and produced.The second half is an horror story played for fun with a few extreme gory / bad taste scenes and happy (or not so happy?) but far from politically correct ending. The FX are fine but could use some improvement. The cast is very good ; Hugo Silva is fine as the conflicted divorced / thief and Mario Casas (the most reliable commercial actor currently in Spain) is really funny.The women are OK; but nothing special. Carmen Maura and Macarena Gomez deliver very bitchy performances; but usually you expect far more from them. Carolina Bang is sexy but her character is underwritten. The same happens with Santiago Segura and Carlos Areces; two excellent comedians working as witches with timid results . In brief; it is very dark comedy; and very unusual comedy. It is really worth watch it.

alejandraedwards This movie starts out funny enough, but around half an hour in, it starts meandering, going nowhere and everywhere at once. None of the characters are engaging enough to earn your sympathy or interest and by the last 30 minutes you are just waiting for it to end. This film actually makes you doubt Álex de la Iglesia's talent as a director, and if you liked his wacky sense of humor and biting social commentary in other films, you'll start wondering if you've been duped all along. Also, I'm not one to harp on things like this, but the film is SOOOO over- the-top offensive to women that it actually makes you wonder what woman in the world would date de la Iglesia and if that's not the reason why he made "Witching and Bitching//Las Brujas de Zarragamurdi." In an interview, De la Iglesias responded that his male characters don't fare much better, being dim-witted and weak. In the end, who cares what happens to any of them? If I had to do it again I'd skip it.
