The film is followed by The Temptress PlotAs Grace Churchill is having her baby, disturbing visions flash in her mind that show two witches being burned at the stake. It is later learned that these two people are John and Elizabeth Stockwell, who were burned in the year 1687. The visions seem to stop once her baby, whom she names William, is born. Things get worse when she, her husband, and the baby temporarily move into her mother-in-law’s creepy old house. It’s here that the visions start returning, and all sorts of spooky events start happening around her, including a priest hanging himself in their backyard. Grace discovers that the two witches she saw burned at the stake are her husband and mother-in-law, and they claim William as theirs. As the two try to kill Grace in a Satanic ritual, they are killed by their mute butler, leaving Grace to save William. Cast
ReceptionAlthough Witchcraft was unsuccessful in theaters, it became the first in the successful Witchcraft series of direct-to-video films.[3] In reviewing the entire series, The A.V. Club called the film a ripoff of Rosemary's Baby, but also called it the best film in the entire series.[4] John Stanley in his Creature Feature book gave the movie two out of five stars.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Witchcraft|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/54952/Witchcraft/overview}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Witchcraft Cast, Credits & Awards|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/54952/Witchcraft/details|work=The New York Times}} 3. ^{{Cite news |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1994-12-30/entertainment/9412300287_1_direct-to-video-video-store-r-rated |title=Big Names Look For Bright Lights In Videoland |last=Alvarez |first=Max J. |date=1994-12-30 |work=Chicago Tribune |access-date=2018-07-22 |language=en}} 4. ^{{cite web|publisher=The A.V.
