If you pretend for the first 65 minutes it helps.

1.5/4

As it goes on, The Candy Witch spirals into confusion and increasingly ramped-up violence, while simultaneously meandering through life as if it has nowhere to be in anything resembling a hurry.

There are some sugary-sticky kills to behold, but the overall narrative is a mess of generic haunted house beats with no creative identity.

Matthews is attached to several other projects in varying forms of production, and if they are all as assuredly helmed as here, then she'll become a genre auteur to keep an eye out for. Let's just hope she attaches herself to a better screenplay.

B

A fairly straight-faced English ghost story, with good jump scares and a pleasingly dark atmosphere.

The Candy Witch tries to tell an interesting story, but ultimately can't overcome the holes in the plot.

Bad acting and the storyline was awful. There were scenes that were dragged out far to long and a lot of pointless scenes. Time is precious so I wouldn't was it on watching this awful movie. It's definitely in my top 3 worst movies I have seen.
