Synopsis
Marquis T. Woods, a successful Atlanta attorney on his way with his family back to his grandmother's funeral in rural Appalachia, crashes his plane only to wake up isolated and without his bearings or family. As a veritable prisoner in the attic of the kindly elderly couple who has found him- and whose home-spun remedies and reliance on old-time American Folk Magic might portend far darker things for Marq and his family than the simple plane crash they were in.

Is it really that horrifying up there in the Appalachians that multiple directors based their horror films off of there? Spell is a horror-thriller film about a man who got separated from his family after a plane crash in Appalachia and held captive by a Hoodoo witch. The…

Average thriller that is most effective evoking cringe but struggles at rational thought. Too bad this wasn’t a bigger hit because I’d love it if they mass produced those ‘Boogity’ dolls...one of those would look pretty badass on my fireplace mantle!

Mister CapSep 6, 2021This was sort of interesting -- a riff on Misery except Annie is an an old backwoods couple who are into hoodoo voodoo, and Paul Sheldon is a husband/father who's family plane crashes. He's saved with a foot "injury" but his family is nowhere to be found. This had mixed…
Repo JackFeb 18, 2023Oh I love when a film puts you directly into a characters shoes. I was right there in the main guys head pulling every wtf face with him. It was creepy, tense with some dark humour sprinkled about. And as for any nail in foot things you've seen before, forget about it, they…

Omari cannot act. The story wasn’t good. The movie felt like it didn’t want to fully commit to its own premise. All around. Waste of money.
AGAida GonzalezThe performances in this film of Spell are exceptional great and as a horror film excellent storytelling and well researched in the subjects of hoo-doo( which is still in use and believe me works but not as the film portrays) this would have been good with awards for the…

The angst it spreads throughout feels all too mild and forgettable to cast an unnerving curse. You know, the kind you’d crave from a horror film with lasting scares.

If scares are the movie’s raison d’etre, though, it’s hard to imagine Spell will frighten anyone but those vulnerable to a few bits of graphic gore.

Laden with references to race, class and the legacy of slavery, Spell, directed by Mark Tonderai from a script by Kurt Wimmer (a pen on the “Point Break” and “Total Recall” remakes), is stronger on maintaining suspense and a macabre atmosphere than it is at following through on its ideas, which give it a thin veneer of topicality.
