Well played

This is an unorthodox anthology developed and produced by the largely unknown (perhaps only to me) Witchcraft Motion Picture Company.

With an extremely high production value, this fine-tuned and well-polished anthology is less of a film and more of a passion project showcasing some of the finest displays of horror and cinematography that Witchcraft Motion Picture Company has to offer. Inside are 9 incredibly compact and vibrant vignettes, complete with their own credit reels.

The stories involved are more like miniature films acting as teasers for big budget productions. The ideas and their presentations are actually incredibly brilliant and beautiful to watch whilst also offering some genuinely creepy and/or tense moments.

Below are brief Plot Summaries:

While artistically appreciable, "Babygirl," the opening story to this anthology, is somewhat weak, yet is in no way indicative of the quality of the vignettes to come.

Babygirl: A terrible fate befalls anyone found trespassing on this inimical property.

Goodnight Darling: Two sisters become leery of their mom's recent change in behavior.

Beast of Prey: With nowhere left to run, a young woman is confronted by her deepest fears.

Changeling: A young mother suffers the ouroboros, nature's natural cycle of death and rebirth.

Night Swim: It's a great night for a swim, until it isn't.

Polaroid: Using his Polaroid camera, a young man begins taking increasingly disturbing photos of his apartment.

Handcraves:? Gandgraves? Handgraves?: A journalist takes interest in a band with a sanguinary past and some unusual customs.

Every Night I See Them: When he sleeps, it draws closer.

Mommy: Anomalous phenomena convene upon a mother and her child.
